Hi Jim, I don't have any info on James Black II, but he appears to be likely too young to have been the father of Thomas Black (b. bef. 1718, but likely a few years before that). But without any concrete records of James II (will, probate, land records, etc.) it would be very difficult to prove ANY relationship. If you find any concrete records to prove a relationship, let me know.

Best regards,

Jim:)--Delijim 18:36, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

Saw your post about Thomas Porter and I, too have seen mention that he was the s/o James who died in Ireland. He came to Va and settled in Rockbridge Co. I have seen this info but can't recall the site. However, there is mention of this at FAG Memorial for James which you can find at this link:

James Black (1669 - 1723) - Find A Grave Memorial http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=130377215 RBH--RBH 19:31, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

RBH - Thanks for providing the link to FAG. Great info on James Black but unsourced. I have reached out to the Author to check source info. Thomas Black owned 569 acres in Beverley Manor, deeded in 1739. He later sold this in 2 parcels and moved to Rockbridge, Va. It appears he died intestate in 1796, when his son Alexander sold 142.5 acres in 1814. Alexander moved on to Warren County,Ohio where he died @ 1821.--Jimmythejet 20:52, 2 September 2016 (UTC)

To answer your question, yes I did mean to type Samuel Black and didn't realize I had typed Samuel Porter. Thanks for your replies and hope I have helped. I do believe the will of the John Black who died in 1769 falls more in line of explaining the time frame of the land he left his sons in 1760. If I come across anything else I will let you know since this is part of my lineage too. I feel that there should be footnotes on a lot of the earlier published materials which incorrectly stated that Rev. Samuel Black was the father of John and William of Blacksburg, when in fact,they were sons of Second Lt. Samuel Black who purchased the 600 acres in Draper Meadows. This had led to the miss-information found on many sites;even found in some of Blacksburg written material and is due to an early contributor who gave incorrect information which was published in the Centennial records.
