  • Notes 
    • James Blackman and his wife, Elizabeth Ann Oates and their five children came to Rutherford County, Tennessee in 1808 and settled at what was later to be known as the Blackman Community. The place was named in honor of their son, Alfred Blackman who spent a long life there and did much to develop the community.

      The Blackmans were from Sampson County, North Carolina and records in the courthouse indicate the family had lived there for several generations prior to coming to Tennessee.

      The 1810 Census of Rutherford County, Tennessee shows in the household of James Blackman are; 1 male under 10, 2 males 26-45, 1 male 46 and up, 2 females under 10 (one believed to be Harriett), 1 female 10-15 (Polly), 1 female 16-25, 1 femaile 26-45 and 12 slaves.

      Blackman Cemetery No. 1 (Established 1826) - the land was donated to Rutherford County by James Blackman and his wife, Elizabeth Ann Oates. It is located in a grove of trees with only common stones for markers, except for the marker of Polly Blackman (daughter of James). James' marker was located there, but was stolen years ago.
