Even though I am not part of your Black Family lineage, I do have some information on John Black (b. ~1774 in Albemarle County, Virginia) the father of Joseph Black (b. 1815 in Pleasureville, Henry County, Kentucky). John was the son of Samuel Black II (who was born 13 March 1743 and died in 1815) and Mary Black (unknown maiden name). John Black had the following sibblings of record, i.e, Samuel III, William, Dorcas, Catherine, Mary, James, Joel, and Damiel. Very little is know about these children except Samuel III (b. 11 October 1772 in Albemarle County, Virginia and d. 26 October 1852 in Caldwell County, Kentucky) who married Keturah Shaw. This Black lineage goes back in time from Samuel Black and Mary Unknown to Rev. Samuel Black I (b. ~1700 in Scotland and educated at Edinburgh University and d. 5 July 1770 in Rockfish, Albermarle County, Virginia)/Catherine Shaw (b. ~1720 and d. September 1798 in Albermarle County, Virginia); James Black (b. 1674 in Cowall, Arggilshire, Scotland and d. 1751 in County Down, Ireland)/Eleanor Unknown (b. ~1675 in Scotland); and finally Ian Black who was born about 1650 in Scotland but I have found nothing additional about him. Wish I had more but hope this helps some.
