The Dred Blalock Family of Haywood County, NC

Description: The Dred Blalock Family of Haywood County, NC, by Jerry A. Blalock (2012) – The story of Dred Blaylock and three generations of his descendants. Despite his unusual name, he was a highly respected builder and craftsman and the father of more than 20 children. 693 pg., sb, index. This book is about an unusual man with an unusual name. It is also about his twenty-three children, his 122 grandchildren, and his 584 great-grandchildren. Even today, more than a hundred years after his death, the mere mention of Dred Blalock' s name causes many people to shake their heads and smile in a strange kind of way. Memories of Dred Blalock have survived this long for two unrelated reasons; he was a highlyrespected craftsman, and he fathered lots and lots of children. This is an effort to tell the story of this man's life and to document three generations of his descendants. Many books of this type cover every generation of a particular person's descendants, through the most recently-born child. The size of this family and the selected format prohibit such extended lineage, at least in one volume. All proceeds go to the Old Buncombe County Genealogical Society's Library operations.
