A JAMES BLACK I b c1683 Scotland

This James Black is the oldest known ancestor of the Blacks in Delaware County IN. According to our best information, James was a Scotch wool merchant who moved from Edinburgh, Scotland to Ireland sometime before 1705. The numerous families who moved from Scotland to Ireland and their descendants are commonly referred to as Scotch-Irish.

James I had four sons: John, Anthony, Samuel, and James II.(Vergil F. Black, op. cit.) Samuel was educated at Edinburgh and licensed to preach at Glasgow. He was pastor of Brandywine Manor Presbyterian Church in Chester County PA, but in 1743 he came to visit his brother John in Augusta Co VA, and for 4 yrs. traveled as a missionary among the Scotch-Irish in the area. He later moved to Albemarle County VA where he married and remained for the rest of his life.

Anthony settled in Augusta Co VA and James II died in Ireland (Ellen McDonald notes; and records at V.P.I. Archives). John Black (A1), the direct ancestor of the Indiana Blacks, also settled in Augusta Co VA with his five sons and four daughters. There he took lands which he later sold to his sons James III, John, Samuel (A11), and William.
