James E. Blythe

James E. Blythe’s name appeared in the 1868 Marion County Tax Digest as a 
resident of Redbone District.  He had four children and his tax that year was 
$1.00.  The value given on his property, except crops, provisions, etc., was 
$320.00 and the value of his Real Property was $180.00, so he wasn’t a wealthy 
man by any means.  James E. (Jimmie) Blythe and his wife Ellen (Helms) and 
children were listed in the Upper Talbot County District in the 1860 U.S. 
Census of Talbot County.  He was listed as being 48 years old and was born in 
North Carolina and Ellen was listed as being 34 years of age and was also born 
in N.C.  All the children’s birthplaces were given as Georgia.  Samuel was 17; 
William T., 8; Sidney E., 6; Serenus (male), 4; and Simon T. was 3/12 or 3 
months old.  Believed to be another of their children, James M., 14, was 
residing with Allen Helms and Anna Helms (66 and 62 years of age) in Marion 
County in 1860.

Samuel L. Blythe, eldest son of Jimmie and Ellen served in Co. A. 27th Regt., 
Marion County in the Confederate Army.  James M. served in Co. B, 2nd Georgia 
Troops, C.S.A.  Samuel began his service in 1864 and surrendered in Greensboro,
