Black as child of Wm. Black and Mary Irwin, which I may have taken from the Will of Mary's father, James. I wonder why their other children are not mentioned in his Will (ch. of Wm. Black and Mary Irwin)? BTW, I have James Irwin's wife as Elizabeth Rogers. I presume that you have the ancestors of James Irwin? For example, his parents were Gen. Robert and Mary (Alexander) Irwin; Mary was d/o Zebulon and Hannah (Hodgson) Alexander, and Zebulons' ancestors were.....(if you want them). Gen. Robert Irwin had a sister named Margaret Irwin. She married Andrew Herron. It is all I have on the Irwins anc. My uncle was James H. Black of Clarksdale, MS. Do you have any kin today in MS? Regards. Mac.
