Surnames: BLACK, Wilson, Gilmore, Lawson Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/ldB.2ACI/255.1 Message Board Post: I am researching the parents of my ggg grandfather John Gilmore Black who was in Mercer, PA in 1850. One of the families I have been thinking may be related in the family of Joseph and Mary Black. They have a son James M Black who is 10 in the 1850 census. The dates are off so this might not be the one for whom you are looking . However His father was born in Indiana Co, PA and members of the family returned there for schooling. He's in Springfield, Mercer Co, PA in 1850 and in Jackson, Mercer, PA in 1860. If you know anything else clue me in
