Old Blalock Cemetery Survey

Per the Heritage of Person County Volume II, page 73, article 28, W. Ernest Blalock and his uncle J. Burch Blaylock mapped this cemetery based on information from Ernest's grandfather & Burch's father, William David Blalock, and placed metal grave markers on each of the known Blalock family graves. These graves are numbered 1 – 16, and did not include early 1900's burials in the newer Clayton section of the cemetery, which will also be included on this map, continuing with #17.Unfortunately, the markers are of the paper insert type, and the papers have faded and/or disappeared over the last 20 years, Burch passed away in 1995, Ernest's health and memory are fading, and whether this map still exists is unknown. I've attempted to create a map of the Old Blalock cemetery using the numeric listing below – a duplicate of the survey done in 1993 – and based on the few established marked graves. That being said, several of these burial placements are based on deduction, and may or may not be correct.
