Sam
Houston Blalock (Blalack).
Contributed by
Tom Graham via e-mail.
Hi John, attached is an interesting story about Sam Houston Blalock (Blalack).
Much of the story is about Frio County. Mr. Blalock is listed on your
1887 Frio County Tax Rolls (Blalook, S.H., 204 acres). In his story he
talks about the Blackally's. That family name is spelled Blackaller and
J.H. Blackaller is listed just above S.H. Blalock on the Tax Roll. Mr.
James Harrison Blackaller and wife are buried in the Frio Town Cemetery.
I find these stories very interesting and then when I find a connection
to my life, they are even more of interest. In this case, my cousin
Roxie Graham married the grandson of S.H. Blalock, Alvin Blalack Jr. in
Big Wells, and my Dentist while I was growing up was a Blackaller
descendent of the family in the story. This story is from the
American Life Histories
web page of the Library of Congress.

Felix Taylor
My great-grandfather was Felix Taylor (1865-1951) who is thought to have
come from Frio County, TX. His mother, Sarah Taylor (1844 - ?) is
thought to have been born in Kentucky. Sarah is listed as Taylor in the
1870 Census. There are land sale records from her second marriage to G.
W. Sadler listing the sons; these records were from Frio County.
There are family stories of Felix's father having fought in the Texas
Revolution and being buried in Big Foot, TX. I was struck by the fact
that there was a Felix Taylor in the DeWitt Colony.
