I don't have a map of precinct 6, but I did look for names of people I think lived in the Black Jack Springs area in 1880 and they all came up as precinct 5. The Fayette Heritage Museum & Library might have a precinct map from that time. You can e-mail them at library@fais.net. Black Jack could possibly be Pin Oak or nearby Black Jack Springs, but both of those are west of High Hill. Catholic churches east of High Hill would be Schulenburg and Dubina Catholic churches, and northeast is Ammannsville. South of High Hill is St. John's St. John Catholic Church. However, all of these churches were established later than High Hill and Praha and probably won't have the records you want. An early Catholic church which served the Bluff area north of High Hill from 1856 would be Hostyn's Queen of the Holy Rosary Church. You might want to check deed records for locations if the Kuntschiks owned the farm(s) on which they lived.
