Thanks for your response. Anything is possible. Where do you think I
might find information on his will or children? I would be interested in
additional information on this family line. Thanks.

I know this is a long shot, but.... Based on the names of these
siblings,
I'm wonder if it's possible that they might be the grandchildren of
Abraham
Black who lived in Greenbrier Co, VA/WV but died in Cabell Co, VA/WV in
1828, having followed his son Adam Black to Cabell Co ca.
1815. Unfortunately his will only mentions his son Adam by name but the

estate sales records indicate other POSSIBLE children including James
and
Jacob Black and several sisters -- Catherine Black Hughart, Mary
("Polly")
Black Hughart, Elizabeth Senton, and perhaps others. Your Jane Black
would
be daughter of one of the sons. I don't know much about the Blacks
(except
for Catherine Black Hughart) but am pretty certain son Adam d. in 1859
Cabell Co.

Just a possibility.
