Person:James Black (122)

Conflict

The Find-A-Grave of James Black's daughter Elizabeth claims that James Black's wife's name was Nancy Vance, but James named a wife Mary in his will. Additional research is needed to determine if James may have either married a different wife or if he had a second marriage.
