I believe that the reason that Mary A. Black was provided for in the will of James Irwin is because she was not of good health. She never married and lived with her brother, Joseph Frank, in Cass County, Texas. In his will he left a life estate for her plus 2 of his slaves to take care of her. I don't know when she died or where she is buried. Johanne bjmoore510@msn.com
