Born 1786 in New Hanover County, North Carolina, and died 1865 in Dale County, Alabama. He is buried in an unmarked grave beside his wife, Alice/Elsie Jane DeVane, at Salem Baptist Church Cemetery north of Skipperville, Alabama on County Road 23. After migrating from North Carolina, Timothy Junius, his wife Elsie/Alice Jane DeVane, and their family of eleven children lived in Fayette County, Georgia. Timothy Junius (or just Junius as he was known) is shown on the U. S. Census records as living in Dale County, Alabama in 1840, 1850, and 1860. His residence was at Roberts Crossroads on County Road 33 just west of Bloodworth Bridge on the West Choctawhatchee River. He patented 200 acres around his residence. Salem Baptist Church is about one mile from his residence.

His parents were John Bloodworth and Ann DeVane. John was referred to as Lieutenant by Captain James DeVane in his American Revolution Pension Statement (S8317). John was the son of Timothy Bloodworth and Priscilla Jones. Timothy Junius' Grandfather, Timothy Bloodworth, was a member of the New Hanover County Safety Committee, Continental Congress 1786 representing North Carolina in the United States House of Representatives along with his close friend, Willie Jones. Both Bloodworth and Jones were strongly opposed to the ratification of the United States Constitution until the Bill of Rights was added. Later Timothy was elected as Senator representing North Carolina in the United States Senate 1795-1801. He was the collector of customs for the Port of Wilmington, N. C. He died in 1814.

Timothy Junius was named for his Grandfather, Senator Timothy Bloodworth, and for the Revolutionary period diplomat Arthur Lee who used Junius Americanus as a pen name.

John's wife was Ann DeVane who was the daughter of John DeVane, Sr. and Ann Larkins. John DeVane, Sr. was a member of the North Carolina Legislature and New Hanover County Safety Committee during the Revolutionary War. He was a Major in the Revolutionary War and had a Revolutionary arms manufactory near Black River. He represented New Hanover County, N.C., as a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1776.

Four cousins that are descendants of Milton and Charlotte Faulkner Bloodworth had all
heard the same family discussions about Junius and his wife Alice/Elsie DeVane
Bloodworth being buried in unmarked graves in Salem Baptist Church Cemetery.
The graves were between the plots of their son Milton and his wife Charlotte and the
Robert Grant Commander Family plot. It was decided that a marker should be
placed to ensure the memory for future generations. All four cousins participated
in placing the marker showing the grave sites of our 3rd Great Grandparents. (Submitted by J. Richardson, March 2021)
