Mr. Blalock was a skilled carpenter at the time and was employed by Colonel Joseph Cathey to design, build, maintain and operate a gist mill on the east fork of the Pigeon River.

He served in this post until the Confederate Army was reorganized on April 28th, 1862. He was honorably discharged and sent home.
During his time serving the Confederate Army his young neighbor Alfred Burnett had asked him to take care of his wife and family should he not return home. A couple of years later, Alfred was killed during the Battle of Petersburg, Virginia. Alfred Burnett's wife, Minerva Hester Stroup-Burnett, was born on September 4th, 1838 to David Rufus Stroup Jr. 1809-1880 and Mary Chloe Burnette-Stroup 1805-1828. She married Alfred Burnett on July 11th, 1856 in Buncombe County, North Carolina. After her husband's death Minerva had a child with Etheldred and this started what is referred to as the "Third Family". Minerva and Etheldred were never married; he was married to Mary Ann Campbell-Blalock until his death in 1896.
