Hello All, Just some general info for you. Although the surnames you mention (Black & Riggins) ARE in the 1860 Census of Salem Co., NJ. NONE of the people you mention (Thomas Black, Nancy Black/Riggins or James Riggins) are listed as living in Salem Co., in 1860. Hope this is of some help to you in narrowing down your search. Best Regards, Keith Allen Message Board Post: > > > I'am looking for a Thomas Black, he was a minister, possibly in Salem or > glouster Co. He was born in the first half of the 18th century.
