This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Black, Chapman, Acton, Vardy, Tardy Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4BC.2ACI/1750.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Have you discovered documentation of Henry Black's birth in Ireland or that his wife, Martha, was a Chapman? I am a descendant of their son Joseph Black who married Ann Acton. I have nothing on your John Black and very little on Joseph, except my own line from his daughter, Esther who married John Vardy (Tardy?), but will be glad to exchange what information that I've gleaned.
