Hi,

This is a real long shot. In 1949, Archie Kling placed this query in the DAR magazine.

(VOL. 83 1949 {VOL 12 ?})

K-49. ABERCROMBY - BLACK. - William Abercromby, b. (where?) 19 July,
1777. d. 5 May 1813 -- killed during War of 1812; m. 24 Jan 1799,
Agnes (called "Nancy") Black, who was b. June 1780, Campbell Co.,
Kentucky, 11 Nov. 1841. She m. (2) Campbell Co., KY, 17 July 1814,
Reubin Lumis (Loomis). Children of Wm. & Agnes "Nancy" (Black)
Abercrombie: Martin b. 1800; Isabell, 1802, d. 1807; John, b. 1804;
Dr. David Lewis Fisk; Robert William b. 1808; George W., b. 1810;
Rossannah, b. 1813, m. Elmore Black. Children by 2nd marriage to
Reubin Loomis: William, b. 1815; Samuel McMatry, b. 1817; Reubin,
b. 1819; Elizabeth, b. 1820; James Webster, b. 1822; Benjamin, b.
1824. Wish ancestors of both William Abercromby and his wife, Agnes
"Nancy" Black. Charles & Diecey (Booth) Abercromby had son, Wiley,
b. 17 Feb. 1777 (Could my date of William's birth - 19 July 1777
- be incorrect?) Nancy is thought to have been dau. of Alexander
& Isabel (Martin) Black or were the parents Alexander Black and
wife, Rossannah ______? Any help will be appreciated.
Mrs. E. B. Kling, Butler, Missouri.

Mrs John R. Black gave me a group sheet of Alexander & Isabell (Martin) Black's
family. This group sheet gives Alexanders birth as c1775. If they are related to Agnes
"Nancy" Black then they are of the same generation. If you look at this 3 generation
chart of the descedants of Nancy Black you will see why we are so interested in
Alexander Black's genealogy. We have 1 Rosannah. 1 Isabel, 1 Martin, & the
name Samuel appears 6 times. These named do not apear In the Abercrombie line &
all of those names apear in Alexander Black's filmily.
