BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION
*********************************************************************************
At present date, Charles Blackard is the earliest verifiied Blackard of our line to be found recorded in America (1755). However, there is a J. Blocker recorded in the same area in 1748 and a William Black in 1740 who may also been Blackards. Also the name John Blackbond was recorded on the Edgecombe NC militia list around 1754. There a number of colonial Virginian immigrants in the years 1623-1685 whom may have been Blackards.However, Charles did not serve in the 1754 NC Militia so he was probably not in NC until 1755 when he was first recorded. He was probably living in Virginia prior to 1755 where William Blackard was born.
Charles appears to have died before the first US Census of 1790. In fact, the 1766 Bute NC tax list or a 1776 deed reference may have been the last record of him, probably indicating that he reached age 60 before the next complete tax list in 1771.
From Kate Blackard's nephew we have the date recorded as "1728?" probably assuming he was 30 when son Willoughby was born.
Some family legends say Charles was born in Glasgow, Scotland and around 1728, however, he is more likely to be a descendent of the John Blackard who came to Virginia around 1649.
A Francis Blackard was reported in the 1715 census of St. Michaels parrish in Barbados with a 3-year old son. That son could possibly be either Charles or Charles' father. Charles was recorded first in NC in 1755 with John Haywood who was born in Barbados.
The estimated date of birth of Charles is based on the ages the men associated with him and the tax lists. The 1766 Bute NC tax list may have been the last record of him, probably indicating that he reached age 60 before the next complete Bute tax list prepared in 1771. If he reached age 60 after 1766 and before 1771 then his DOB was 1706-1711. This is consistent with many of the men recorded around him in Granville and Bute NC. Using this estimate, Charles Jr was born when Charles I was 44-49 and Job when he was 55-60. Considering this, the 1711 DOB would be more realistic. Coincidentally, that would make Charles Blackard I exactly the same age as the son of Francis Blackard reported in the 1715 Barbados census.
H.D. Blackard estimated a DOB of 1728 for Charles. A comparitive study of three Prince George County, Virginia families that came to NC included Blackard, Chappell and Peebles indicated that H.D. Blackard's estimate for Charles of 1728 is more-consistent. However, the problem with this estimated DOB is that Charles would disappear from public records at age 38 which is hard to explain. Using this estimate, Charles Jr was born when Charles I was 27 and Job when he was 38.
The name John Blackbond was recorded on the Edgecombe NC militia list around 1754 however, Charles Blackard was not recorded in either Edgecome or Granville. This means that he was either under 16 or not yet in North Carolina. The 1728 DOB estimate would provide for Charles being in NC but too young to be on the militia list and a John Blackard possibly being his father.
Both DOB estimates (1711 and 1728) provide for a reasonable age for Charles when sons Charles Jr through Job were born. However, one son of Charles Blackard I, William, was reported to be born in Virginia by one son. If this information is correct, then he was born before Charles was reported in NC in 1755 and the 1728 DOB estimate is very unlikely.
It doesn't seem possible to resolve this question at this time, however; the Virginia birthplace of son William and the tax list information is more consistent with a DOB of 1711.
Perhaps these are Phillip's sons, descendents of 1665 Westmoreland County, Virginia immigrant Robert Selfe.. The men who appear to be Charles' sons are named Willoughby Blackard (b1758), Job Blackard (b.1766) and William Blackard (b.bef 1764).
These appear to be Self family names. There were 20 JOB SELFs born in America before 1800. There were also numerous WILLOUGHBY SELFs and apparently three in the Bute/Orange County area at the same time.
Charles Blackard posted the marriage bond for Frances Self to Spencer Snow in 1778 who was the right age to have been a daughter of Willougby Self and granddaughter of Job Self. There seems to be no reason for him to have done that unless Frances was related somehow by marriage.
Job Blackard named a daughter FRANCES SNOW Blackard, evidently after the same person that Charles posted the marriage bond for, FRANCES SELF SNOW.
*********************************************************************************
FAMILY STORIES
*********************************************************************************
W.G. Blackard stated his grandfather was William, his great grandfather was Thomas and his great-great grandfather was Willoughby. W.G. Blackard also stated "I have been told by my father that there were only four of the boys came over from England. These being Willoughby, Thomas, William and Aaron. Willoughby settled Stuart, Virginia and was buried near Stuart, Va. Aaron settled near Burlington, N.C. William settled at Blacksburg first and afterward moved to Washington Co. Va. and I am not sure where Thomas settled."Another version of this family story that comes down through H.D. Blackard of Stuarts Draft VA is that there were seven Blackard Brothers who left England, however, only four could be accounted for after the trip. They are said to have first arrived in Pennsylvania.
"Charlie Blackard was said to be a Scot Highland lad, came down into Wales and met and fell in love with a Welch girl. They were married and had two children, then decided to come to America - I know nothing further until Willoughby Blackard, said to be their son, at the age of sixteen joined the Virginia Militia " source: Kate Blackard (dau of Tobias) in 1960 letter to nephew, HD Blackard
I believe that while this traditional family story may be largely correct, there are a few things that may have been confused over the generations. First, the Blackard family appears to be from England where Blackard baptisms and marriages are recorded from 1560 to the mid-1700s. The term "Scot-Irish" applies equally to Protestant English and Welsh settlers who went to northern Ireland to avoid religious persecution. It has been passed down that 4 Blackard brothers immigrated into Pennsylvania from Glasgow, Scotland in 1720. It is said that they were furniture/cabinet makers in Glasgow. This would mean that Charles was born in America before the family moved from Virginia down into North Carolina.

A 1756 Granville land grant to Samuel Williams names Charles Blackard as chain bearer in Edgecombe Co.,NC. Samuel Williams came to Edgecombe county in 1735. In 1735 Williams was described as a "gentleman" and owned 300 acres there. In 1740/1742 Williams became sheriff. Samuel Williams purchased several large tracts of land in Edgecombe County, NC. The same surveyor was used in all cases. However, Charles Blackard was only the chain carrier for one survey near Little Fishing Creek so Charles may have lived near there.Edgecombe Co, NC Miscellaneous Land Papers #2208

About 1690 colonists begin coming down from Virginia into Chowan Co, NC on the Albemarle sound. The first land grants in the Edgecombe precinct occurred in about 1726, however, settler probably didn't arrive untio about 1728. In 1732 a group of "young Virginians" are recorded coming down the Roanoke River from Virginia and settled near the town of Tarrboro, NC. Deed records show the start of a large migration of people into the area starting in 1748.

CHURCH RECORDS
*********************************************************************************
According to NC genealogist, Louise Fuller, it appears that Charles Blackard I belonged to the Reed Fork Primitive Baptist Church in northern Bute County (now Warren) around 1760-1770. Until the Reedy Fork Baptist church was built near where they lived, according to Louise Fuller's research, the only church in the area was an Anglican Church (Church of England) a short ways south of them on the Tar River. This church also converted to Baptist after the revolution.Charles was first recorded in NC in 1755 with Samuel Williams who was from a Welsh family however there is no evidence of a family connection,
"Charlie Blackard was said to be a Scot Highland lad, came down into Wales and met and fell in love with a Welch girl. They were married and had two children, then decided to come to America - I know nothing further until Willoughby Blackard, said to be their son, at the age of sixteen joined the Virginia Militia " - source: Kate Blackard (dau of Tobias) in 1960 letter to nephew, HD Blackard
Charles surname, Blackard, must have been unfamiliar to most people and was therefore most-often misspelled as Blachard, Black, Blacker, Blackar, Blackam, Battran, etc. However, the name CHARLES BLACKARD is correctly spelled on Samuel Williams 1756 land survey suggesting that Mr. Williams knew our family's name.
Prince George and Surry Counties were loaded with Welsh immigrants including Owen, Humphries, Jones, Williams, Bobbitts to name a few.
.
Additionally, there was a settlement called Welchman's Gulch in Christ Church Parish, Barbados adjacent to St. Michaels Parish where Francis Blackard was recorded. A Richard Williams founded Welchman's Gulch.There were numerous Welsh families recorded around the Blackard family in Prince George Co.,Va and NC including: Williams, Bobbitt, Jones, among others.
6. Molly Blackard [Unverified]
An actual BLACKMON family in the area but seems to have relocated to prehaps Craven County NC. They are not recorded after 1762. Also Molly and husband live close to Charles Blackard after their marraiage.
In 1777 Henry Cooper moved from Bute(Franklin) to Caswell County. Charles Blackard II, who I think was his brother in law, also relocated to Caswell 2-3 years later in 1780.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Between 1778 and 1781 it is believed that Henry Cooper moved from Bute County North Carolina to the Tombigbee region above Mobile. Henry is listed as one of the Anglo’s surrendering to the Spanish in 1781. In 1787 all three men were living in the Spanish territory of West Florida in the Natchez District. Probably only a few hundred American families were living in that area that was then controlled by Spain. The 1787 Natchez District census lists a John Lovelace and a Henry Cooper living in the vicinity of Second Creek and a Thomas Nichols living in the Santa Catalina’s (St. Catherine’s) Creek area. A map of the Natchez District shows numerous creeks flowing from the Mississippi River eastward
.
The 1792 Natchez census shows all three men still living within the district but Thomas Nichols is now shown living in the area of Second and Sandy Creek along with Henry Cooper. The 1792 Natchez census omits any reference to Thomas Nichols or to Henry Cooper and shows a John Lovelace living in the vicinity of Buffalo Creek, which is south of Second and Sandy Creek.In 1801 Henry Cooper purchased property from a John Nichols in Sumner County, Tennessee. Sumner County is just south of Davidson County, Tennessee. In 1803 Henry Cooper appears on the tax lists for Davidson County, Tennessee. Neither Thomas Nicholas or John Lovelace have been found on tax lists for this time but official records place them both in the Nashville area at this time period. What are the chances of a John Lovelace, a Henry Cooper and a Thomas Nicholas all being in Natchez from at least 1787 until about 1798 and a John Lovelace, a Henry Cooper and a Thomas Nicholas also being around Nashville about 1800?
http://genforum.genealogy.com/nicholas/messages/1430.html
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A Henry Cooper is listed in Davidson Co., Tenn. Register of Deeds 1798-1802 Vol. E (A-G) I: he was a resident of Sumner Co. and bought 640 acres on the west side of the Harpeth River at the mouth of the South Harpeth from John Nichols. Henry's granddaughter Delitha Cooper later married Wilson Nichols. Henry paid John Nichols $900 cash; the deed included "all advantages, ways, water courses, mines and minerals." Henry's daughter Nancy married a Nicholas, perhaps the same surname. Both Nichols and Nicholas are Sephardic Jewish surnames. There is a Nicholas Springs on Copper Ridge near Clinch Mountain. Grants south of Green River, DEED BOOK 1 p. 324, 325 Francis WYATTE to Henry COOPER 1795 Agreement.
.
A Henry Cooper's place, "old Mr. Cooper's" and a Capt. Cooper are mentioned in a Presbyterian pastor's journal from Kentucky: Joseph P. Howe's Register of Texts & Marriages "Journal Oct. 14, 1798 to April 7, 1816" "Marriages May 1795 to April 1816" "By Rev'd Joseph P. Howe, Pastor of Springfield & Mount Sterling Churches, Kentucky J.B.T. 1914." These Coopers lived at Little Mountain, Montgomery (formerly Clark) Co., Kentucky, from 1798 to 1820, when he died (Aug. 21). A George, Nancy and William Cooper are also mentioned. But according to one researcher, this is obviously not our Cooper family. (Henry and William's father was John Adam Cooper, 1736-May 1778, who married Elizabeth Stroop, died in Berkeley Co., W.Va., and was related to the Coopers of Maryland.)
