J.A. Blalock/Tom Blalack or variations of name
I am really having a hard time. I have been told my grandmothers' dad was either J.A. Blalock/Blaylock or Tom Blalack/Blalock. My grandmother has her name listed as Blaylock on some items and Blalack on others. This is very confusing! She was born in Mississippi in either 1894 or 1896 depending on what document you look at. She had a sister Lena Blalock/Blalack born about 1885 and a brother Joseph born about 1886. She also had a sister Bessie John Blalock/Blalack who married a Templeton. My grandma is Mary Elizabeth Blaylock/Blalock/Blalack (one of the three) She was living with a W.A. Thornton and family when she was only 4 so her parents may have died before 1900. They all lived around Tallahatchie County area in Mississippi. Any help is appreciated! All these different spellings are driving me crazy!
