My mother was Lucille Dora Blackmon Hudson.
I had heard of M C Blackmon. He was the blackest of the black sheep. I would like to know about this fellow human being who died before i was born in 1938.
Lucille died in 1986
Ida had no children and she was under our care (Ann my wife and me ) until she died at 100 in 2006.
I just heard from my cousin Liz whose father is Gary son of Alda. She and another cousin Bill Blackmon are looking into the Blackmon family history

Blackmons of Lancaster County, South Carolina

MiniMatriarch — 2012-05-19 18:39:39Z

I'm a descendant of the Blackmons of Lancaster County, South Carolina. My ancestors lived in Pleasant Hill & Heath Springs. My 3rd Great Grandparents were Marion Blackmon & his wife Hannah. Marion was born abt. March 1849. His birth date was different in every census. But, I always go with the earlier documentation. I would imagine the later documents are less accurate as it can be harder to remember by then. They had 8 children.

**** JERRY ****They named their 4th child Jerry. I would love to meet the descendants of Jerry because they may be able to tell me more about him. Or maybe I can tell them more about Hannah.

Marion have a James & Lizzie listed as his younger siblings on a census record. I think Lizzie may have been short for Eliza or Elizabeth. Am not sure though. He named one of his sons James born about 12 years after his little brother. I would love to meet the descendants of Marion's siblings. Because I don't have information on Marion's parents. Maybe they would.

Marion was only born about 1849-1860 so it shouldn't be hard to find out. (birth year was different on every census)

Did any of our ancestors fight in the Revolutionary War or Civil War? I love my family and would LOVE to know ALL about us. Please contact me ASAP.

*****My ancestors are Black, but, if you're not Black and think you may have an attachment to this line or possibly information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Do you happen to have a Jack Blackmon in your book? He lived in Brewton, AL, I believe. Born 1912 and died 1998. He was my great-grandfather, but I never met him. I can't find his parents' names.

Re: My Family is from Chambers Co. AL Harris Co. GA.

gs1025 — 2012-01-14 03:32:50Z

Was Wm. W.'s wife a Sands or Bowers? I am also wondering if in your Blackmon searches you might have found Missouri Dennis and Urvin M. Blackmon in your Blackmon searches. I have found them from 1850, 60 and 70 US Censuses and again in 1900 all in Harris County, Ga. I have been unable to find them in the 1880 census. I would like to make the assumption that they were in Harris Co, but I have found in geneology assumptions are not always correct!!
Happy Hunting All!!

I am a Blackmon. My family is from Lancaster, SC. I am currently doing research on the family tree. Feel free to send me a message, prehaps we can share some information!

Re: Where did the Blackmon name come from

PatMiller8948 — 2011-11-15 03:55:03Z

My family says that the name derived from the black hair, and heavy dark beards caused by the influence of the Spanish who made it to Ireland after the sinking of the Spanish Armada by England. May be right--may be wrong, but it's logical.

Ora Mae Blackmon & Harley Dexter "Deck" Blackmon

avferrell — 2011-11-02 02:29:26Z

I'm searching for any and all bits of information I can find on Ora Mae Blackmon, and her father, Harley Dexter "Deck" Blackmon. Ora Mae was the mother of my Grandpa, she passed away when he turned 12, and his father passed away at 8. My Grandpa was then raise by Ora's brother, Shelton Blackmon. My Grandfather has no pictures, never seen one for that matter, or his parents or grandparents. I'm desperately searching as hard as I can to try and obtain one. If you have no pictures, or know of where I can find one, I'd still love to hear any stories or tid-bits to share regarding Ora Mae and/or Harley Dexter.

I'm looking for info on Jack Blackmon/Blackman. He was born 1912 and died 1998. He married Dorothy Brooks who was from Yazoo City. I believe he lived in Alabama, but not sure. I can't find who his parents were. He's my great-grandfather, but I never met him.

Re: Urvin/Urban/Irvin Blackmon/Blackman-Georgia-Alabama

PatMiller8948 — 2011-10-11 13:22:21Z

I have yet to determine how Urvin Blackmon fits into my tree. The only inkling I have is knowing that his name was intered into the Blackmon Bible that a Blackmon cousin of mine had. It is no longer available.

Re: Urvin/Urban/Irvin Blackmon/Blackman-Georgia-Alabama

gs1025 — 2011-10-11 12:19:26Z

Urvin was married to Missouri, I was not aware that your Ella was possibly not one in the same. MY Ella was eldest sister of Nora (my G.Grandmother). Children of Urvin and Missouri were: Ella Cordelia, James E "Ed", Ira W, Mary Lee, John P, Roxie Ann, Myrtle "Maggie", Will, Mercer and Nanny Missouri. I haven't found a William Jackson Blackmon or Joseph Dewitt Blackmon...there are more Blackmons than you can shake a stick at, and the search continues...

Re: Urvin/Urban/Irvin Blackmon/Blackman-Georgia-Alabama

PatMiller8948 — 2011-10-11 00:03:03Z

Ella Cordelia? Is this my Ella Blackmon, sister of Joseph Dewitt, and daughter of William Jackson Blackmon?

I was contacted and told that Urban Blackmon was married to Missouri Dennis? Did you find that?

Re: Urvin/Urban/Irvin Blackmon/Blackman-Georgia-Alabama

gs1025 — 2011-10-10 19:16:04Z

Pat
I keep digging and pulling at threads, I actually found Urvin M Blackmon(listed as Urbin M Blackman) today on the Georgia 1890 Property Tax Digest! He owned 191 acres in Whittaker, Militia District 629, Harris County, Georgia!There are 8 other Blackmons listed on this document as well. I have also connected with Ella Cordelia Blackmon's Great Grandson who has information on this line of Blackmons upon them moving to Alabama. This is the first information I have been able to find between the 1870 Federal Census and when he shows up again in the 1900 census in Whittaker, Harris Co, Ga.

Re: Blackmon-Alabama

PatMiller8948 — 2011-09-19 04:12:55Z

Check the 1850 Harris County, GA census. There are two Wylie Blackmon entries.

Re: Blackmon-Alabama

hgmanning89 — 2011-09-18 01:12:27Z

Thank you for the reply. As far as I know there is no mention of a father Wylie or brother Nathanial. Family lore has it that his "Peter's" father passed away and his mother was remarring. Peter and his brothers John and Soloman (mon) ran away and ended up in Alabama, with Peter ending in Clarke county, Mississippi. All 3 brothers were born in South Carolina.

Re: Blackmon-Alabama

Re: Blackmon-Alabama

Hi Bob, Linda Daughter of William John from 2nd set of children. I went to a cousins reunion once several years back but do not have any contact with your side of the family. I do recall Logan's Point at a church with cemetery out back. Do you know the place? Do they still meet?
By the way we buried Billy Ray last week, sudden heart attack. His father n law Jim Cooper has been researching our family history here.
I always thought there were 4 children with both wives and found your side had a fifth, son Joshua. My dad was birthed with initials W J, and changed to William John. I have a brother who was a Jr. The names were Sampson, William, Myrtle & Rosalie. My father came to Houston in early 1950 and in the automobile business. My dad born 1914 in Jasper, Tx and deceased in 1965.
Where were you living when growing up in LA?

PMiller8948 — 2011-08-31 19:28:29Z

Can anyone tell me where William Joshua Blackmon was before Louisiana and Texas? Or where his father was from? My Blackmon ancestors were in Lancaster Co, (duh! I can't remember if it's NC or SC) and moved down into Harris Co., GA and Chambers Co., AL in the 1920s or a little before.
