Paula,
If you put all the pieces together from LDS records and various messages on the genealogy boards from Clay County, Arkansas, you will likely come up with the following on Mary Alta Black's family lineage. Mary Alta Black was the daughter of Henry Frank Black (b. about 1859 in Illinois and d. 1899 in Batesville, Independence County, Arkansas) and Nancy Ann Trout (married Henry Frank Black on 29 July 1881 in Johnson County, Illinois). Henry Frank Black apparently died in 1899 from injuries received in a logging accident. Nancy Ann Trout Black following Henry's death moved from Independence County, Arkansas to Clay County, Arkansas. Nancy and Henry had the following children of record, i.e., Robert (b. about 1882 in Illinois and married Gertie Hayes on 7 April 1907 in Arkansas), John W. (b. about 1885 in Illinois and d. about 1901 in Clay County, Arkansas), Mary Alta (b. 1896 in Illinois and married Elijah Patterson in Piggott, Clay County, Arkansas on 5 February 1915), and!
Emma Jane (b. 25 January 1899 in Batesville, Independence County, Arkansas and d. 15 March 1984 in Vienna, Marion County, Illinois, and married Harvey Arnold Patterson in September 1916 in Popular Bluff, Butler County, Missouri). According to Rick Diel () the marriage application for Henry Frank Black and Nancy Ann Trout showed their parents to be John Black/Nancy Davis and Jacob Trout/Mary Phelps. Apparently following Henry Frank Black's death Nancy Ann Trout Black married twice according to Rick Diel, i.e., to W. M. Eaton and J. A. Redfairn. Very little data on this Black family is available on the web so it will llkely be difficult to go back in time to find the complete lineage for this family. The 1880 Census shows Jacob Trout and Mary Phelps living in Eastern, Franklin County, Illinois but it is believed that they migrated to Clay County, Arkansas about 1885 and are buried in that county. You may wish to use the services of some of the genealog!
y volunteers from Clay County, Arkansas to find more data on Mary Alta
and her siblings. For the Black family in Clay County Rochelle Wright Phillips () would be the person to contact while for the Patterson family the contact would be Sue Phillips McComb (). Afraid that this is all that I have but hope it helps some.
