"From Deed Book 29, page 245 (don't know if this is Augusta Co. , VA or Bourbon Co.,KY if John's widow was living there then): 'Martha Black , widow of John Black, deceased, of the county of Bourbon, State of Kentucky; Robert Black of Woodford County, Kentucky; Samuel Black and William Black of Bourbon County, Kentucky, heirs of the said John Black, deceased, appoint John Patrick of Augusta County, Virginia as their lawful attorney to sell two tracts of land in Augusta now in the possession of occupation on Nicholas Farhart.

"Martha Black's will dated 26 Aug, 1797, Book C, page 98, Bourbon Co., KY: 'Heirs: William Black, son; Martha Black, granddaughter of son , Robert; Martha Patrick Black, granddaughter of son, Samuel The quoted sources indicate that John's wife was Martha Patrick, which is supported by the fact that Samuel and Rosannah Black's daughter was named Martha Patrick Black. Also, that John and Martha had four sons, Robert, John, Samuel and William. John is mentioned in Robert Patrick's will, but not in John Black's will, which indicates that he was born before August 10, 176 and MAY have died before May 22, 1795."
