Hi, My family traces it's lineage directly from Thomas Black of York County, SC. He is my direct 7X great grandfather -- Black was my maiden name. Relatives in MS and GA have been most helpful to me, but we don't have any idea where they came from before that. Thomas was listed along with at least a couple others in the 1779 census of York Co. as coming from the Old 96th. He is buried in McConnelville at Bethesda Prysbeterian Church Gracveyard, and is on the National Revolutionary War Burial spots site on the net. We have marital relationships with the Sadlers the Neelys, the Cains, Slocumbs, Smiths, Odoms that came from the same areas to MS. I would be very interested in seeing those pages of info. if you have them. I know that Thomas's grandson, Pliny Sadler Black, lived in GA and AL in the very early 1800's, had one of my GGgrandfathers, Herman Caine Black, moved on , leaving Herman With his sister to raise after his first wife died,and settled in Texas in the lat!
e 1830's working first as a ferryman and then as a gin wright. The rest of the family eventually moved to Northwestern MS, where many of them still live today. My grandfather was a judge in Quitman Co., MS for all of his working life. His name was Elbert Cecil Black. His father was James Pliny Black. James's father, Herman Cain Black , died in a civil war hospital in 1864(Barnesville, GA). If there is anything in your information that connect this line to your studies, please let me know and I will put you in contact with one one my cousins who has done the bulk of the work.
