In the book "Historical and Biographical Annals of Columbia and Montour
Counties it lists a John BLACK as subscribing 1 pound to a "preaching
subscription." Quote:

Nov. 24, 1784, is the date of the oldest record extant containing a partial
list of those who were first here. It was a subscription paper, drawn by
Gen. William Montgomery's hand and entitled 'Preaching and Subscription.' It
was not especially sectarian, and as all men in those days were deeply
religious in faith and pined for the expounding of God's word, it is quite
probable that the list contained nearly every head of a family then in the
county who was able to subscribe towards the desired fund..........The list
is here given in full, and following it is such an account of their
descendants as it has been possible to gather from some of the oldest
citizens."

Does anyone know who this John Black is? Thanks. Millie
