Irma,
I have a little information on your Joseph Black that may be of some interest. My records show that Joseph Black was the son of Frederick Black (b. ~1784 in Botetourt County, Virginia) and Susanna Snider (b. in Prussia and married Frederick Black on 20 November 1804 in Botetourt County, Virginia). Joseph was born on 14 October 1814 in Botetourt County, Virginia and died 9 January 1889 in Wellsville, Franklin County, Kansas. Joseph first married Mary Venable Moorman (b. 5 August 1814 in Campbell County, Virginia and d. 1872 in Wellsville, Franklin County, Kansas and married Joseph on 27 October 1835 in Breckenridge County, Kentucky). It appears that Joseph Black and Mary Moorman migrated from Virginia to Kentucky to Missouri and finally to Franklin County, Kansas. Following Mary Morman's death in 1872, Joseph married Mary Johnson (b. ~1830 in Indiana) on 23 January 1873 in Franklin County, Kansas. In 1880 the Census shows that Joseph was a farmer living in Peoria, Frank!
lin County, Kansas with his second wife Mary Johnson. All the children from the marriage to Mary Moorman were to my knowledge born in Breckenridge County, Kentucky with the exception of Laura Belle Black (b. 12 August 1853 in Pleasant Hill, Cass County, Missouri and d. 10 March 1937 in Wellsville, Franklin County, Kansas) who married John Thomas Evans on 16 January 1877 in Franklin County, Kansas. The children I have from Joseph's first marriage are as follows: Sarah (b. 1837); James W. (b. 1840); John H. (b. 1841); Peter Frederick (b. 25 February 1843); Mary (b. 1845); Laura Belle (b. 12 August 1853); and Elizabeth [Lizzie] (b. 1848). I have not as of yet been able to find the parents of Frederick Black. The parents of Mary Venable Moorman were William D. Moorman and Elizabeth Rosser. Wish I had more data but am afraid that this is all I current have.
