BLALOCK

Sarah A PEDDY born Oct 26 1847 died July 5 1922. Sarah was the daughter of James C. and F. Jane GARLAND PEDDY. Sarah married, Dec 19 1867 in Lee Co AL, John T BLALOCK. Sarah PEDDY is in the 1850 Barbour Co AL census, 1860 Harris Co GA census and the 1866 Russell Co AL census. Sara A Peddy BLALOCK is in the 1880 Blount Co AL census.

Southern Democrat, Oneonta AL, Thursday, July 6 1922, page 1 column 4. Mrs Sarah Blalock dead. Just as we go to press we learn of the death of Mrs Sarah Blalock, beloved wife of Uncle Jack (John) Blalock which accured at the home of her daughter, Mrs Frank Lowe, Oneonta Route 2 Wednesday morning, aged about 75 years. This good woman had been a paralytic for quite a while. She was a consistent member of the Missionary Baptist Church for many years. The deceased is survived by her aged husband, two daughters, Mrs Frank Lowe of Oneonta AL, R 2 and Mrs Lucy Gilliland of Arkansas and one son, W. J. Blalock of Oneonta R 1. Interment at Antioch today (Thursday).

Southern Democrat, Oneonta AL, Thursday, March 19 1931, page 1. J. T. Blalock dies after brief Illness. J. T. Blalock, after a very brief illness, died at the home of his son in law, D. F. Lowe, on route 2, Oneonta AL, early Sunday morning. Mr Blalock was 82 years of age and was one of the oldest citizens of this part of the county. He was a native of Lee county, coming to Blount county while yet a young man. He settled in this immediate section and spent the remainder of his life within a few miles of where he died. He at once identified himself with the best interests of the county and for many years served as a school trustee. Later he served two terms as a member of the Court of County Commissioners. In this capacity he rendered much valuable service. he was a quite but conservative leader and his advice was sought by both old and young. When Uncle Jack Blalock expressed his views on any question it carried great weight. Mr Blalock had been a member of the Baptist Church since August 1876, having connected himself with Old Liberty Baptist Church at that time. At the time of his death he was a member of Tait's Gap Baptist Church where he lived for a number of years and engaged in the mercantile business. He enjoyed the full confidence of all who were so fortunate as to have personal contact with him. It has often been said of him that if he ever wronged anyone it was unintentional. Mr Blalock was a man who had strong convictions and he lived by those convictions, yet he conceded to others the right to their views, and differed with them in a friendly way. He was a staunch Democrat, but his life was spent in a community where most of his neighbors were of a different political faith yet they were the closest of friends. Mr Blalock had been a constant reader of the Democrat for 34 years. His subscription dated back to April 1 1897. He always kept his subscription paid in advance and with very few exceptions paid it on the first day of every month. The very great popularity of Mr Blalock was shown by the fact that a vast throng of people attended his funeral at Antioch Monday. The services were conducted by Rev P. J. Jordan assisted by L. T. Findley, Rev R. A. Tuck, Rev Ira Tidwell and Rev W E Ellis. The deceased is survived by one son, W. J. Blalock of Route 1 Oneonta AL, two daughters, Mrs D. F. Lowe of route 2 Oneonta and Lucy Gilliland of Morley MO.; one sister, Mrs Alice Burdell of Rome GA. He is also survived by nineteen grandchildren and about 46 great grandchildren.

BRAY

SARAH ELIZABETH "SALLIE" BRAY
Sarah Elizabeth "Sallie" BRAY was born April 3 1844 in TN, daughter of Elijah Bray, born 1809 and Elizabeth PATTERSON, born 1811. BRAY DAR info Sallie married Andrew Jackson PEDDY in TN between May 3 1869 & June 12 1869. This time period is determined from two census records where the number of years married is shown and from the Andrew J Peddy will.
Sallie taught school - probably at the Buckley School and paid farm debt with her teacher salary. Sallie owned land and she loaned money to her sons to buy property - money that she had inherited from her parents. Sallie owned & played an organ. [The organ was passed on to daughter, Cora Peddy SEATON.] Sallie worked hard & farmed while her husband was traveling to Nashville TN or out to TX. Andrew engaged in politics, land speculation in TX & visited relatives in TX. Between 1902 and 1910 son, Hubert Peddy was murdered in New Mexico (or Texas). Because of the animosity between Hubert and his father, Andrew J did not go and retreive the body. Sallie was very upset that Andrew J would not go and retreive the body. Hubert's burial place is now unknown to living Peddy descendants in 2004.

Children: (1) William Franklin Peddy Feb 28 1870 - Nov 29 1870 (2) John Allen Peddy Feb 23 1872 - July 11 1952 (3) Hubert Ellis Peddy July 25 1875 - (1902-1910). (4) Elma Elizabeth Peddy May 30 1877 - Sept 30 1893 (5) Luther Lee "Luke" Peddy Mar 26 1879 - March 15 1955 (6) Ollie Mae Peddy Aug 20 1882 - Aug 8 1905 (7) Minnie Orrah Peddy Feb 17 1884 - July 23 1916 (8) Cora Eva Peddy Feb 4 1890 - Dec 1 1977. Many years after Hubert E Peddy was murdered Sallie gave her grandson, Herschel H Peddy a pocket watch, a knife and a Mexican Silver dollar that Hubert had in his pocket when he was murdered.
In their later years when they could no longer care for themselves Andrew J Peddy went to live with his son, James E. "Jim" Peddy and Sallie went to live with her daughter, Cora E Peddy Seaton.
Sarah Elizabeth "Sallie" BRAY PEDDY died Nov 20 1921. She is buried at New Friendship Cemetery in Chester Co TN beside her husband, Andrew J Peddy. They have seperate tombstones, but Sallie's tombstone does say "Wife of A. J. Peddy".

Henderson Co TN Chancery Court Book 7 (1880-1882), pages 59, 139-144, April 1 1880. Sallie Peddy and husband, Andrew Peddy and others verses A. E. Bray, Polk Bray, and others. It appears in court that Elizabeth Bray died in her residence in Henderson Co TN in Sept 1878 and she left 6 tracts of land, all adjoining Clarks Creek in Civil District 4 in Henderson Co TN. She had been survived by her husband, Elijah Bray and children; Sally, wife of Andrew Peddy; Amanda Price, wife of James Price; A. E. Bray; Sam Bray; G. B. Bray; a son William Bray died in 1879 leaving his widow (p 60) Adaline Bray and children Maggie and James Bray. S. Polk Bray had sold his interest to John M Taylor. A. E. Bray sold his interest to Ellen and Mollie Bray. The court ordered the 6 tracts of land sold for the benefits of the heirs. On July 17 1880 the Bray land was sold at the residence of Elijah Bray, widower of Elizabeth Bray of Civil District 4 in Henderson Co TN. 81 acres sold to J. M. Taylor for $100. 112 acres sold to J. M. Taylor for $100. The other acreage, 321 acres designated as the "old homestead" found no bidders. The heirs believed that better bids could be obtained for the land and the court ordered a rebidding of the tracts. [In 2000 this land is in Chester Co TN on the Rabbit Ranch Road.]
In the 1880's in Chancery Court Minutes, Book 8, in Henderson Co TN there are court records: BRAY, A. E. and others vs SALLIE PEDDY and others 74, 75, 158, 159, 160, 161, 278, 279, 280, 299, 300, 301, 373-376. PEDDY, SALLIE and others vs A. E.
