David Blalock (circa 1810), William Harrison Blalock (1840-1843) York, SC
Can anyone help me with the family of David Blalock from York NC/SC.I have also heard it said this family was from Does anyone show a David Blalock living near York County, South Carolina circa 1840?I am hoping you guys might be able to help me out to track down this particular family of Blalocks.
I am one of the Blalock Geneology folks who was searching for our family back in the 1990s.I need your help if you can spare a few minutes. My family are from Tattnall County GA, near Savannah.I live on the West Coast in Seattle, but have been back there serveral times taking photos and conducting research.
My wall is David Blalock and his son (W.H. -- Possibly William Harisson) who shows up in the 1860 Tattnall County GA Census with his wife Elizabeth.They are supposed to be from North Carolina.Here is what the record looks like:

BLALOCK David Male.. (50) 1810 N.Carolina Farmer
Elizabeth Fema (52) 1808 S.Carolina
*** Harison Male.. (17) 1843 Tattnall Farmer(may be York Co, SC)
Margaret Fema (12) 1848 Tattnall
Martha Fema (12) 1848 Tattnall
I've been at this brick wall forever.However, I think I may have just found the answer in the form of a civil war record showing my 2nd Great grandfather's birth place as York County, SC.

Blalock, W. H. --- private August 31, 1861.
Wounded in left leg at Fredericksburg, Va.
December 13, 1862; in face at Spotsylvania, Va.
May 12, 1864. Surrendered at Appomattox, Va.
April 9, 1865. (Born in York County, S.C. in 1840.)
He is the only WH Blalock in Tattnall county in the 1860 census and his birth year is listed as either 1840 or 1843.
NOTE: The family showes up again in LIberty County, GA in the 1870 census.William shows up in the 1900 census with a new wife back in Tattnall County.
Is there any way to connect this William H (Harisson / Harrisson) Blalock with David back in York County SC ?

•Note:
William, "Jane" & Elizabeth Blalock possibly show up in the 1870 Liberty County GA Census.
William "Bill" Melton Blalock was the son of Martha Blalock who was born January 1846. Martha never married the man who fathered William. They appear in the 1870 Tattnall Co, GA census in the house of Julia Cook. Eventually Martha Blalock married Jacob Powell and they had 5 more children. Jacob and Martha are buried in Jarriel Cemetery, Tattnall Co, GA.
It is possible William's dad was one of the local Blackburn family, but this can not be confirmed.
Martha was the daughter of David and Elizabeth Blalock. They appear in the 1860 Tattnall Co Census with their other two children. David was born around 1810 in one of the Carolinas.
David is my brick wall. He is listed as having a son named "Harrison". My 2nd great grandfather was William H. Blalock. I am assuming that his middle name must have been Harrison. William and Harrison have the same year of birth, and they are the only Blalock family in Tattnall Co, GA in the 1860s. William also named one of his children with the middle name harris. I have linked them as the same person. I am about 90% certain of this link. It is that 10 % that bothers me.
Do you have any idea who David M. Blalock is? I have been trying for years to figure out who he is and where he came from. I suspect his middle name is something like Melton or Millington. That is because Martha named her son William Melton.
Best Regards,
Richard Blalock
