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.3

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.

Military22 March 1862CSA, 37th Alabama Infantry Regiment, Company A, Alabama, USA; "Benjamin J. Balcum" enlisted at age 18 as a Private at Auburn, Alabama. The 37th Regiment was organized at Auburn, in the spring of 1862, under the requisition of President Jefferson Davis for 12,000 more Alabamans. The members were recruited from Barbour, Chambers, Henry, Macon, Pike, Russell, and Tallapoosa counties. Benjamin was captured 4 December, 1862, at Water Valley, Mississippi.6,2,7 
Death*27 January 1863Alton POW Prison, Alton, Illinois, USA; cause of death "Debilitas" (exposure), death occurring about a month after his capture. According to the reference:
"Conditions in the prison were harsh and the mortality rate was above average for a Union prison. Hot, humid summers and cold Midwestern winters took a heavy toll on prisoners already weakened by poor nourishment and inadequate clothing. The prison was overcrowded much of the time and sanitary facilities were inadequate. Pneumonia and dysentery were common killers but contagious diseases such as smallpox and rubella were the most feared. When smallpox infection became alarmingly high in the winter of 1862 and spring of 1863, a quarantine hospital was located on an island across the Mississippi River from the prison."2,7 
Burial1863Confederate Cemetery, Alton, Illinois, USA2 
Military*10 February 1864James E. Balkcom; Company A 37 Reg, Dale County, Alabama, USA; "Jas Balkcum, father", appears on a Register of Claims of deceased Officers and Soldiers from Alabama which were filed for settlement of the Office of the Confederate States Auditor for the War Department. The claim was on behalf of deceased soldier "B. K. Balcom".8

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.
