The households of John W. Balkcom (son of James and Mary) and wife Nancy age 19 (newly married) and Daniel Murphy (with wife Elizabeth and a 12 year old male Milton Murphy) were adjacent. Neither of the other families showed land holdings so it's likely that they had houses on the land of James Balkcom.

Also listed on the same census page were Lewis Deal and wife Nancy J. Brannon Deal, with family. Nancy J. Brannon (person ID#1314) was the oldest daughter of Rosier Brannon and Anzilla Galloway, and sister to Rose Ann Brannon who was daughter-in-law to James and Mary Balkcom.

Complete household:
"James Balkcom" as above;
"Mary Balkcom", age 44, born in NC, read/write no;
"Selista J. Balkcom", female age 20, born Georgia, read/write yes;
"Benjamin Balkcom", age 17, laborer, born Georgia, read/write yes;

"Cinda Balkcom", female age 18 born Alabama, read/write yes (Joseph's wife);
"James A. Balkcom", age 23, school teacher, born Georgia, read/write yes (note: he was listed last in the large household even though the oldest. Birth dates and states support that he was the oldest child of James and Mary).

Families living close by were Kirkland, Deal, Lee, Riley, Woodham.2

"Joseph Balkum", age 7 born in AL, parents born in GA;
"Archie Balkum", age 5, born in AL, parents born in GA.
Note absence of son Tarrell.

Note SC birthplace of Albert's parents. If accurate then James and Mary Balkcom are not his parents. On the other hand I've not run across SC Balkcoms so this may be an error. Albert's age 28 is too young by a year or two to match the Albert in the earlier census, in household of James and Mary. Children birthplaces listed as GA, possibly indicating that Sarah went to parents' home for the births.5

It's not clear where this information might have come from, but it would not be from the census itself. It may be referring to the NC State Census of 1787. Living nearby were James Bawkum, Samuel Baldwin, and four Branan familes - William, Thomas, Joseph, Casen.4,3

Event*1815Ichabod Balkcom II; Researcher Clifton reports that Alexander and Ichabod Balkcom moved from Johnston County, North Carolina to Jones County, Georgia in 1815. According to Clifton, Alexander had come down earlier to Oglethorpe County, Georgia, then returned to NC, and later came to Jones County with Ichabod. Clifton further states that "Alexander later moved to Alabama and is the progenitor of the large contingent of Balkcoms there, but Ichabod stayed in Jones County. He is the progenitor of the Balkcoms in Georgia." Note that many of the Balkcoms in southeast Alabama descend from James E. Balkcom of North Carolina, relationship to the Ichabod line and to the Alexander Balkcom lines unknown. However, Alexander did have a number of descendants in that part of the state.13

Note SC birthplace of Albert's parents. If accurate then James and Mary Balkcom are not his parents. On the other hand I've not run across SC Balkcoms so this may be an error. Albert's age 28 is too young by a year or two to match the Albert in the earlier census, in household of James and Mary. Children birthplaces listed as GA, possibly indicating that Sarah went to parents' home for the births.3
