George C. Blaylock
George
was born in 1874, the second or third child of Bob and Polly
Blaylock. George was a farmer and lived in Sulligent, right off
Gattman Road at the railroad tracks.
We know that he married Nancy A. Walden about 1898, and a couple of
years later they had their first child, Alice Mae Blaylock in
1900. Their son Ira Esker was born in 1904, and another boy named
Bob in 1907. The family was recorded in 1920 in Pine Springs:

Blaylock, Nancy A. 47 AL SC SC
Blaylock, Ari E. 16 AR AL AL
Blaylock, James R. 13 AR AL AL
His wife Nancy died sometime about 1929 and was buried in the Macedonia
Cemetery in Lamar County, though she doesn't have a tombstone.
George was recorded the next year living with his daughter Alice and
his son in law, Winfield Turman.

It was thought that George lived out in Oklahoma for a while too, but
he died back in Lamar County and was buried with Nancy in Macedonia
Cemetery, also without a tombstone. He passed away about
1939. It was said that he died while playing around and scuffling
with Thomas "Tomboy" McClendon. He had a heart attack and died.
Children of George C. Blaylock
Alice Mae Blaylock
(md. Winfield Turman)
Alice Mae was born in 1900 and married Winfield in
1916. They had seven children together and lived in
Sulligent. She was a homemaker, while Winfield farmed and was a
salesman. She passed away on April 20, 1965, and was buried in
Pope Cemetery next to Turman, who had passed away at the age of 44, on
February 7, 1945.
Ira Esker Blaylock
(md. Estus Pennington)
Ira was born on March 7, 1904. He married
Estus, who was born on September 28, 1903, and together they had four
children. I don't know much about him, but when he died, he was
buried in the Macedonia Cemetery in Lamar County. Estus passed
away in December of 1980 and was buried there also.
James Robert "Bob" Blaylock
(Mary Agnes Bowen)
Bob was born in 1907, possibly while the family was
living away (in Arkansas?). He was a farmer and worked for the
Works Progress Administration too. He married Mary Agnes about
1935 and they had four children together. He passed away about
1968 in Guin, but he had lived in Fayette County since about
1946. He is buried in the Mt. Willing Cemetery in the edge of
Fayette County.
