Life

Willis David Blaylock was born at Sulligent, Lamar County, Alabama, on 2 March 1873, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date or place.1 The federal census of 1870 lists a Willis D. Blalock in the household (the people living together at one address, as the census-taker recorded them) of W. C. Blalock at Sanford, Alabama, three years before the birth date the tree gives him.2 Inference Either the 1873 birth date is too late or the 1870 entry belongs to another Willis D. Blalock; his age on that census page, or on his draft card, would decide which.2 On 7 September 1897 he married Martha Walden in Lamar County.3 The census of 1900 recorded Willis D. Blalock with his wife Mary in Beat 2 of Monroe County, Mississippi, and in 1910 the census listed Dave W. Blaylock at Alsup Mill in the same county.4 The tree names four sons: Leonard Hilbert (1898–1936), Robert Lee (1902–1966), James Elzie (1907–1977) and Fonney Owen Blaylock (1916–1991).5 He registered for the First World War draft as Willis David Blaylock in Lamar County, Alabama, naming a Mary Blaylock.6 His wife died on 14 June 1919, and on 6 August 1920 Willis D. Blaylock married Frankie Flynn, according to the Alabama county marriage index.7 He died at Meridian, Lauderdale County, Mississippi, in 1934 and was buried in the Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery at Sulligent.8
