Updating wrong Information about John Elen Blaylock and wife Jane.
I keep running across erroneous info that was created over thirty years ago about John Elen Blaylock and wife Jane Cobb. I had read a book by my Grandma's cousin Robert Joseph Mann, placing all of his Blaylock kin at Rome, Georgia. Wrong. They lived in Walker County, and lived in Hall County before that.
Also, Joe Mann has Jane Cobb's name as Sarah Jane Cobb, that I won't dispute, but had her attached to the Wrong parents: Thomas Cobb and Mary Cason, which would be a problem, seeing that they had two daughters, Sarah and Jane, at the same time that Jane was married to John Elen. In fact, her parents were William Cobb and Anna Wilson, in Walker County, in the same area with John's parents, William Blaylock and Mary Wilson. Mary and Anna Wilson were either sisters or first cousins.I also see that people putting William and Anna Cobb from Walker County online, base their children from the 1850 Census, missing Jane in their family tree submissions. Jane Cobb's sister, Anna, Married a Henry Thompson abt 1860, and they moved to Crawford County, one County away from the Blaylocks. Later on, their children can be seen together in Roland, Oklahoma,involved with the same church.
Of Course, Robert Mann didn't know any of this info when he wrote his books. He didn't have the Internet, or access to a genealogical library.
