Samuel Filmore Blaylock was born in
1890 to Robert and Polly Blaylock. He was the youngest of eleven
children and was raised near to many other of his cousins. His mother
died when he was 25 years old, and his father when he was 35. In
1909 he married Dora White in Pine Springs, Lamar County, Alabama.
They had seven children together.
They were found in the census the next year there:
1910 Lamar County, Alabama Census
Pine Springs
Blaylock, Filmore (md. 6/12 years) 20 AL MS MS Farmer
Blaylock, Dora 18 AL AL AL
They had a number of children together and were still living in Pine Springs in 1920 when the census recorded them this way:
1920 Lamar County, Alabama Census
Pine Springs; Dwelling 18/18
Blaylock, Samuel F. 31 AL AL AL Farmer
Blaylock, Dora L. 28 AL AL FL
Blaylock, Lona 8 AL AL AL
Blaylock, Ethel E. 6 AL AL AL
Blaylock, Calvin D. 4 2/12 AL AL AL
Blaylock, Ardile 2 3/12 MS AL AL
Blaylock, Hazel R. 2/12 AL AL AL
Filmore was a farmer and was also well
known as being an excellent fiddle player. Dora died in an automobile
accident, though I do not know in what year. Filmore lived till the
age of 60. When he died he was living in Booneville, Prentiss County,
Mississippi. Relatively few of the Webb line wound up in Prentiss
County, though it borders Itawamba County. He was buried in the Ozark
Cemetery in Itawamba County though.
Any additional information on Filmore
and his family would be greatly appreciated.
