My sources so far are from informaion in a book From Pioneer to Scientist
by Carl and Bessie Black. Thomas Gillespie Black was a first cousin of
Green Vardeman Black who is the father of modern Dentistry,
Also, I found information on this entire family in "United States Biographic
Dictionary, found in the Santa Clara City Library, also there is a Copy at
Sutro Lib in SF. They will not let you Xerox them any more the books are
really fragile.
My direct ancestor: Thomas Gillespie Black: these are his and Mary Polly's
