Job's father, Charles
Blackard, was listed in the 1757 tax list for Granville County, NC. This part
of Granville became Bute County, NC (red below) in 1764. William's brother Willoughby
was born in 1758 in Granville County establishing that the family still lived
there.
Bute County was formed in 1764 from Granville.
The Revolutionary War Service records for Charles’ son Willoughby Blackard states that he was born in Bute Co, NC in 12 Aug 1758. Bute County did not yet exist in 1758 when Willoughby was born, however, it did exist in 1776 when he enlisted. The Bute County region still belonged to Granville County when Willoughby was born.
Charles Blackard is recorded on the Bute County, NC 1766 tax list.
Charles [Blackam] Blackard is recorded as a witness on 14 March 1768 for a land deed from William Davis to William Arnold in a Bute County deed book.
It appears that a tract of land where Charles Blackard was living on Turkey Creek in Bute was sold in 1776 and he had to move.
No record has been found to positively fix the families location after this, however, there appears to be evidence that the family stayed in Bute County. Bute County was formed in 1764 from Granville. But Bute County only existed for a few years and Franklin and Warren Counties were formed in 1779 from Bute.
Job Blackard was recorded with his brother William in the Caswell County tax lists of 1789. Brothers Charles II and Willoughby were previously recorded ther but they had already moved on.
Job married Jean Hargiss of Caswell County in 1792, the year that Person County was formed from Caswell.
