I don't know where he was from, but I do know that he lived in Baird, TX before he came to Ft. Worth, TX. He married Ossie Lillian Jarrett. His mother's name was Sarah Ann. She was married several times and out lived all of her husbands. I don't know her maiden name, but the last names of her husbands were, Thompson, Black, and McClendon. She owned a ranch at Admiral, TX before coming to Ft. Worth. I know there are several of the Black family buried in Admiral and possibly Baird and Abilene, TX. Would love to hear from you regarding the Black family. Thanks, Vernie
