Father   Unknown Murphy4 b. c 1796

JournalIntro* James E. Balkcom; James Balkcom and Mary (Polly) (maiden name probably Murphy) of Duplin County, North Carolina are the earliest identified Balkcom ancestors of the Oklahoma Balkcom line. James' parents are unknown and will I think be difficult to prove. I believe that he descends from the Alexander Balkcom line in Providence, Rhode Island in the 1600s. See the main page of this site www.pbalkcom.com/gwb for my reasoning. Also see there a detailed biography of James. I believe that his wife Mary is a Murphy from the Duplin County, NC area but I have no definitive proof.

James Balkcom married Mary in around 1832 and moved to Lowndes County, Georgia and in a few years on to Dale County, Alabama. Their son Brantley had a son John Ira Balkcom who shortly after his own marriage moved his family to Oklahoma. 
Birth* 1814 North Carolina, USA, This date is based on her tombstone, and her birthplace is confirmed to be North Carolina based on the U.S. Census of 1900 listing parents of son Brantley.5,6 
Birth-Alt. 1816 North Carolina, USA, Alternate birthdate is based on census 1880, 1870 and 1860.7,8,9 
Married Name Balkcom 
Marriage* say 1832 James E. Balkcom; Marriage date a guess based on ages. Citations are to support Murphy as last name of Mary (Polly). Researcher Slay refers to Mary Murphy as wife of James Balkcom, as does an entry in IGI.10,2,3 
Migration* Dale County, Alabama, USA, Date estimated based on children births. 
Cen-Enum* 23 July 1860 AL Dale Co Census 1860; Newton Post Office, Dale County, Georgia, USA, 44 years old, born in NC, living with husband James, 9 children, and 3 other unknown Balkcoms. She was listed as unable to read and write. Adjacent was the household of Daniel Murphy (age 78), Elizabeth Murphy (68), and Milton Murphy (12).11 
Cen-Enum* 27 July 1870 AL Dale Co Census 1870; Beat No. 9, Echo, Dale County, Alabama, USA, age 54, born in North Carolina. Seven younger Balkcoms were living with James and Polly.12 
Witness: James E. Balkcom

The census taker apparently got months employed wrong, he listed almost everyone on this and immediately adjacent pages as unemployed 12 months out of year. On a later page he struck out a page full of 12 month entries, leaving no entries.

The census taker appears to have got some of the birth places wrong, need to check another census to confirm.1

Birth* between 1761 and 1770 Birthdate based on guess that Tymothy is oldest male in household in 1830 census, but another male there 50-59, could instead be Tymothy. If so that would make birthdate between 1770-75. Certainly no later than 1775 based on 1820 census.2 
Slave* 21 April 1812 Duplin County, North Carolina, USA, The Duplin Court registered a bill of sale by Timothy Murphy to John Stallings for a negro boy, Stephen.3 
Comment* 1820 matched 1820 and 1830 Timothy by neighbors, 2 Rouse neighbors match. Slave ownership also matches.

Note, not certain that this is the Timothy who is son of William and Elizabeth (Wells) Murphy, but seems the best candidate.4 
Cen-Head* 1810 NC Duplin Co Census 1810; Duplin County, North Carolina, USA, male age 26-44, with males 2 under 10; females 1 26-44, 2 under 10; 14 slaves. Adjacent to household of mother Elizabeth (Wells) Murphy.5 
Cen-Head* 1820 NC Duplin Co Census 1820; Duplin County, North Carolina, USA, "Timothy Murphey", male age over 45, with males 2 under 10, 2 10-16; females 1 over 45 (prob Mary (Polly) Alderman), 2 under 10, 1 10-16. Four female slaves: 3 under 13, 1 26-44.
Note that there are two Timothy Murphy's in this census. A neighbor check is far from conclusive, but comparing 1820 Timothy neighbors Frederick Ezzell and Thomas Lanier suggests that this Timothy is in the same location as the 1810 Duplin census Timothy.1
