WILLIAM BLACK

The most of these records were collected by my brother in law, Howard Clifton Black, of West Liberty, Logan Co., Ohio, and who died in 1964 without getting his collection in print.

Howard Clifton Black lived all his life, except the last four years, on the family farm about two miles south of West Liberty and in the brick house built by his great grandfather in 1818. Howard's father and mother, James Washington Black and Lizzie Robbins Black went to housekeeping in this house when they were married and both died in the same house.

We are very much indebted to Howard Black for his work in gathering this information and which would probably never have been put together by any other person.

William Black served in several companies of volunteers and Rangers in the pre revolution years and also served in the Revolution. His wife, Sarah Hickling Black also served in the Revolution, weaving cloth and making tents for the soldiers. This is documented under the name of William Black, number 2 in the genealogy. Revolutionary service of William Black proved on the D.A.R. lineage of Mrs. Robert E. Morrison (Maxine Geneva Hughes) National Number 301152

As every lineal descendant of William Black has proven Revolutionary lineage, I think it is important to get this record in print so that it can be available to all interested persons.
