Birth* | circa 1850 | Alabama, USA1 |
(Resident) Census | 23 July 1860 | James E. Balkcom, Mary (Polly) Murphy; Newton Post Office, Dale County, Alabama, USA; "James Balkcom", head, age 53, farming, born in NC, real estate value $1500, personal estate $700. 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; "Ivey Balkcom", male age 14, born Alabama, attending school, read/write yes; "Brantley Balkcom", male age 12 born Alabama, attending school, read/write yes; "Albert Balkcom", age 10, born Alabama, read/write yes; "Delilah Balkcom, female age 8, born Alabama, attending school, read/write yes; "Pricilla Balkcom", female age 6, born Alabama, attending school; "Neissa Balkcom", female age 4, born Alabama; "Ransom Balkcom", male age 3, born Alabama; "Joseph D. Balkcom", male age 19, farm laborer, born Alabama, 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 |
Marriage* | between 1870 and 1880 | Sarah Holland; Alabama, USA3 |
(Neighbor) Census | 27 July 1870 | (Head of Household) James E. Balkcom, (Resident) Mary (Polly) Murphy; Beat No. 9, Echo, Dale County, Alabama, USA; "James Balkcum" age 63, occupation farmer and hatter, born North Carolina, real estate $1100, personal $350. Household: James, head, as shown; "Polly" age 54, keeps house, born NC; "C. J.", female age 31, works in house, born Georgia; "Albert" age 21, works in farm, born Alabama; "Delila" age 19, works in farm, born Alabama; "Priscilla" age 17, works in farm, born Alabama; "J. H.", male age 14, works in farm, born Alabama; "J. A.", female age 7, born Alabama; "Middleton", male age 11, born Alabama. The adults were listed as reading and writing.4 |
Census* | 18 June 1880 | AL Henry Co Census 1880; hh#64, ED#82, Beat 6, Henry County, Alabama, USA; household: "Albert Balkum", head, age 28, farm laborer, born in AL, parents born in SC; 'Sarah Balkum", wife, age 28, housekeeper, born in AL, parents born in GA; "Joseph Balkum", son age 7 born in AL, parents born in GA; "Archie Balkum", son 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 censuses, in the household of James and Mary. Children birthplaces listed as GA, possibly indicating that Sarah went to parents' home for the births.5 Resident: Sarah Holland Resident: Joseph Balkcom Resident: Archer Balkcom |

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 |
