David Harrison and Karen Vaughn-Blalock
In March of 1752 David Harrison Blalock (1752-1842) was born in Brunswick Co., Colonial Virginia to David Blalock (1735-1775) and an unknown mother (Possible Native American).
David Harrison Blalock (1752-1842) first married about 1774 to an unknown woman (Possibly Native American). They settled in Chatham Co., Colonial NC not far from his parents in what was then known at Hickory Mountain.

From the marriage of David Harrison Blalock (1752-1842) and his first wife at least 4 children were born;
Their first child, David S. Blalock (1784-1842) was born in Chatham Co., NC, USA. He was first married to an unknown woman (possibly Native American) before 1789. From this union all of his children were born; Meredith "Meridy" Blalock 1789-?, Jarrett Wilson Blalock 1791-1858 (Anne Williams-Blalock 1792-1834 and Mary Ann Wells-Blalock 1814-1891), Hartwell Gregory Blalock 1795-1873 (Cassey Sparks-Blalock 1796-? and Martha "Patsy" Herndon-Blalock 1803-?), Henry Joseph Blalock 1800-? and Lucy Blalock. After the death of his first wife, David S. Blalock (1784-1842) remarried to Candass Durning-Blalock (1817-1860) on August 28th, 1838 Orange Co., NC, USA. From this union no children were born. In April 1842 David S. Blalock (1784-1842) died in Orange Co., NC. At the time of his death he was 61 years old.
About 1775 their second child, Jeremiah Blalock (1775-1827) was born in Chatham Co., Colonial NC. Very little if known about his life and in August 1827 Jeremiah Blalock (1775-1827) died in Monroe Co., MS, USA. At the time of his death he was 52 years old. His bural location is at present unknown.
The Revolutionary War 1775-1783
Before the start of the Revolutionary War David Harrison Blalock' (1752-1842) father; David Blalock (1735-1775) was killed by Tories. In his pension application interview David said: "I am eighty two years of age in March last passed and served in the Revolutionary War three tours in defense of the Liberty of my country. At an early period, several years before the war began, my father was a regulator in the State of North Carolina and was killed in a skirmish with some British troops [while he was] attempting to supply the regulators. My father's house was burned and my mother left helpless. This infused into my mind an insatiate [?]1 feeling against that nation which I shall carry with me to my grave."
David enlisted for volunteer service in Chatham Co., Colonial NC and joined the State troops in Pittsboro. "I served the first tour of three months marching backwards and forwards over the western part of South Carolina and some parts of North Carolina. There were no English troops in the parts of those states at that time and we were employed chiefly in keeping down the Tories who were numerous and very hostile."
bout 1780 their third child, Mason Blalock (1780-1864) was born in Chatham Co., Colonial NC. Very little is known about Mason's life.
About 1780 David Harrison Blalock (1752-1842) began his second tour of service, joining the regular continental line and was deployed for 9 months again enlisting in Pittsboro, Chatham Co., Colonial NC. Again, they were marched to Ramsey's Mill, the rendezvous point. "This company performed much detached service and mostly off on scouting excursions; we had much small and irregular skirmishing with the Tories. We attacked them in a swamp above Georgetown and drove them out of their ambush. We were most of the time in South Carolina. I recollect we drove them out of a heavy swamp called Raft Swamp [September 1, 1781]. Shortly after this we marched to the northern part of the state and joined Colonel Cleveland [Benjamin Cleveland]. There we fought in the battle of King’s Mountain [October 7, 1780]. There were only a company or so of Regulars in that Battle besides Gholson, the balance picked up militia. As soon as we buried the dead we took towards the sea shore under Captain Gholson and Col. Cleveland, I think, went up towards the mountains. On our return to the swamps, we found no more organized bodies of Tories setting up resistance to us. From this quarter we were marched back to Chatham County and discharged at R's Mills [Ramsey's Mill]."

Battle of King's Mountain - October 7th, 1780
For David's last tour of service he was drafted by the State Troops in Pittsboro, Chatham Co., Colonial NC. They marched to Ramsey's mill and from there to the barracks awaiting command.
"The first excursion was to meet Col. David Fanny, a noted Tory. News arrived at about midnight that the Colonel had plundered Hillsboro [September 12, 1781] and was making his way for the east now. That he would be at Cane Creek better known by the name of Lindley's Creek soon. We started and met them. We had a desperate encounter [Lindley's Mill, September 13, 1781] for a few moments. They broke our line once; dispersed our men very soon They were said to be six or eight hundred strong, we were much less numerous than they—we were commanded by General Butler [John Butler] and Cols. Nall [John Nall] and Luttrell [John Luttrell]—my Captain was Matt[ word runs off edge of the page]w Jones [probably Matthew Jones]—and Lieutenant Rob Jones [Robert Jones], a brother. We met them about one hour by sun on the morning. They were making their way towards the sea shore. We attempted to stop their passage by the creek side.
Battle of Hillsboro - September 12th, 1781
The Battle of Lindley's Mill - September 13th, 1781
They made a desperate charge upon us—Cols Nall and Luttrell and my Captain in the first tour of three months, Nash [Abner Nash], fell. I deeply regretted Nash for he was a good man and brave soldier. The death of our officers insured our total defeat, but the Tory Colonel made no halt to bury the dead but passed right off. In counting the dead we found we had lost fifty and had killed fifteen Tories. We buried the dead on the creek side, putting all the Tories into one pit, and marched back to the barracks at Loo's [?]5 Old Fields.
There I remained until an order came from [? looks like "Washing" possibly "Washington"?] to General Ramsey to send as many troops as could be raised to assist in the taking of Cornwallis. I was put into Captain Dilliard's Company under the Regiment of Col. Roger Griffis [Roger Griffith]. We started on hard and fatiguing marches but by this time we got half way to Little York an express came informing us of the glorious capture of Lord Cornwallis. We were drawn into a hollow charge [?]6 and our colonel informed us of the long wished for news – the probable end of all our toils and the happy possession of our liberty. We fired a round of musketry and rested upon our arms.
The Surrender of Lord Cornwallis - October 19th, 1781
We rested there a day and wheeled for home and I now felt what I had not felt for years before—that myself and my country’s liberty were safe. I took my final leave of the war at Ramsey’s Mill by a general discharge from Ramsey."
Serving the State of North Carolina David was discharged shortly there after and returned home.
About 1782 their third child, John D. Blalock was born in Chatham Co., NC, USA. Very little is known about his life.
NOTE: It is very possible that other children could have been born to David and his first wife as there are sufficient gaps between births and no known daughters are listed.
After the death of his first wife David Harrison Blalock (1752-1842) remarries to Karen Vaughan (1760-1830) on May 22nd, 1786 in Brunswick Co., VA, USA. James Vaughan (1741-1803) is listed as the bondsmen. I can only assume that James is her father.
James Vaughan of Amelia/Brunswick County, Virginia
On March 27th, 1786 there was a sale of property right before their marriage from a James Vaughan (1741-1803) and Lucy Vaughan (1745-1775) to a Joseph Seward of Brunswick Co., VA, USA. The money from that sale very well could have been Karen's dowry. Lucy Jeter-Vaughan (1746-?) was James's second wife and not the mother of Karen Vaughan (1760-1830).
Karen Vaughan (1760-1830) was born on January 1st 1760 in Brunswick Co., Colonial VA to James Vaughn (1741-1803) and Ann Hill-Vaughan (1745-1775).

After the Census of 1830 Karen dies. She is not mentioned in the Pension Interview of 1833. David is at that time living Fayette Co., TN, USA so we can only assume he moved there after the death of his wife. The exact burial location is at this time unknown but we can safely assume in Lincoln Co., TN most likely on their property.
