Surname: BLACK, MCKISSICK, WILDS
-------------------------

I am seeking any information on both ancestors and descendants of the following
Black family.

William F.(or T.) BLACK (b. bet.1828-1833 PA d.1875 PA) married Lucinda
Humes MCKISSICK (b.1839 PA d.1886 Lawrence Co., PA). They had 8 sons born
between 1860 - 1873. First 7 born in Clarion Co, PA. Youngest born in Lawrence
Co, PA.

Sons:
1 - George BLACK b.1860
2 - John Henry BLACK b.1862 m. Belle M. DAY
3 - Samuel Porter BLACK b.1863 m. Emma M. E. WILDS b. Allegheny Co, PA
(sister to Matilda)
4 - David Harrison BLACK b.1865 m. Matilda Sophia WILDS b. Allegheny Co,
PA
5 - Franklin Lemuel BLACK b.1866 m. Emma Ruth CAMPBELL
6 - Marion L. BLACK b.1868 m. Laura or Flora?
7 - Edward Richard BLACK b.1870 m. Elizabeth K. HUFFMAN & 2nd wife?
8 - William Albert BLACK b.1873 m. Lillian Mae HIBBS b. Marion Co, WV

William in Piney Twp, Clarion Co, PA living with in-laws, Henry & Mary
McKissick (1860 census). Family in Elk Twp, Clarion Co, PA (1870 census).
Lucinda & 7 sons in Slippery Rock Twp, Lawrence Co, PA (1880 census; Wm
deceased; eldest son George not listed).

Many of the sons worked in the oil industry. Some living in Greene Co.,
PA (acc. 1900 & 1910 censuses). Family lore says some followed "oil" to
Texas.

My line descends from son #3 - Samuel Porter, who moved to West Virginia
in early 1890s (Marion Co. & later Mason Co.) & had 13 children (Carrie,
Charles Harry, Edna, Jacob Samuel, Cora, Albert, Mary Emma, Dorsey, Lucinda,
Frank, Camille, Stanley John Norris, Zora)

What happened to Samuel's 7 brothers and 13 children? Who were Wm F's parents?
Any help would be appreciated. I am happy to share my information.
