Individual:
Jackson County Deed Book H, page 430 - William Ray to Kendred Blackstock of DeKalb County and Ailsey Wright of Jackson County, Georgia, the legal heirs of Samuel Langston, late of Jackson County and Washington Chamblee of Gwinniett County for $1,200 grants 250 acres of Jackson County land July 17, 1827.
Jackson County Deed Book I & J, page 281, 7/17/1827. Mary Wright of Jackson County, William Wray of Henry County, John Williamson of Gwinnett County, Kendred Blackstock of DeKalb County, legatees of Samuel Langston, late of Jackson County, for $300 grants lands in Jackson County on North and South Mulberry Fork of Oconee River, 75 acres.
Kendred B. Blackstock was listed on the 1830 and 1840 DeKalb County Census, the 1850 Walton County, Georgia census and the 1860 Fulton County, Georgia census.
Kendred, said to be the Irish equivalent of Kenneth, was shown as Kinched when he married Mary Langston; when he married Elizabeth Cook his name was shown as Kendall. Death records show his name as Kennard Blackstock.
Kendred's grave at Oakland Cemetery is not marked and although he had owned various properties in several Georgia counties during his lifetime, he died a pauper. He is said to have sold his farm for Confederated money.
A DAR line from James Blackstock Sr. has been established through Kendred by Edna Jo Wisenant Lonas of Manassas, Virginia (DAR National # 580595)
Della Blackstock Andrews, granddaughter of Kendred wrote as follows:
"During the Civil War my grandfather living on his plantation in Forsyth County, had six boys that was called to service in the Confederate Army. They were all in the same company, and they were all sent to the Western Campaign on the Mississippi River to try to hold the river and keep it from the Union Forces. There were all at the siege of Vicksburg. Two of the boys died there from starvation and they were buried there in the Soldiers Cemetery at Vicksburg".
"There was no mail in the South during the Civil War. My grandfather, Kenneth, couldn't hear from his boys at the from. After Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves, my grandfather, with his boys gone to war and his slaves freed, had no one to work on his plantation so he decided to move to Atlanta, Georgia; there he could meet the trains and hear from the boys in the Army".
"As most southern people did, Kenneth Blackstock believed that the South would win the Civil War and become the Confederate States of America, so, believing that, Kenneth sold his plantation for Confederate money and moved to Atlanta where he could meet the trains to hear from the front. He bought a house in Atlanta where Rich's store is now located".
"Of course, as you know, Sherman's Army of the North shelled and burned Atlanta. Kenneth and his family had to refugee. They went up around Nashville, Tennessee out of the path of the Army. He came back to Atlanta after Sherman moved his army, but all this did a lot to him and he didn't live long after the War and he is buried in Atlanta".
There is some errata in Della's memoir, for instance, on five of Kendred's sons were old enough to serve the Confederacy, and only one died in Vicksburg. Della was a daughter of Millie Elizabeth Blackstock (Kendred's daughter) who married John Henry Blackstock (son of Richard Blackstock). Della's father and his brother James Erwin/Irvin Blackstock, were also CSA soldiers, and it is possible she confused the number of those who served the Confederacy.
Kendred and his family were already living in Fulton County before the Civil War, so it is possible that the story regarding his move to Atlanta in order to hear from his sons may be apocryphal. It is possible that the story is true and that he moved away from Atlanta and back again because of Sherman's horrors.
Tradition from several descendants notes the Blackstock family refugeed to Tennessee when Sherman cam through; a granddaughter was married in the Nashville area which bears out the tradition.
An affidavit in Fulton County, Georgia deed records dated April 20, 1893, notes that property "on the corner of Wells and McDaniel Streets in Atlanta known as the Blackstock property....was occupied and said to be owned by Blackstock; Blackstock lived on the property from about the year 1868 up to around 1872 or about that time...." (Deed Book 242, p. 243-308) The affidavit was signed by Charles Wells.
City Directories of Atlanta show Kindred Blackstock living at the corner of McDaniel and Wells Streets from 1870 through 1876; his occupation was listed as "foreman of streets" or "street overseer". He may be erroneously listed as R. Blackstock in 1867 as the address is "s McDaniel, e of Whitehall". Also living at the same address, was W.W. Blackstock - stonemason, and in 1872 , William John and James Blackstock were all living in their fathers household at McDaniel and Wells. William and John were stonemasons and James was a bricklayer. The last year Kendred was listed in the Atlanta City Directory was 1876, the year of his death, his address was 71 McDaniel. In the 1877 directory, Elizabeth Blackstock, wid Kenny, was living at 71 McDaniel, where she was shown as a border in the same household as John Blackstock, stonemason. Elizabeth did not appear in the 1878 City Directory, nor did she appear in burials of Oakland Cemetery for that year. The death of Kennard (1876) was dutifully recorded in "Oakland City Internments", Book 1876-1944. He died of disease Jaundice and Dropsy of the heart according to that record.
