I'm very interested in the Black family from Greenbrier county and possibly Augusta prior. My specific interest is in Abraham Black (supposedly b. ca 1755-d. 1828 in Cabell Co.) who is listed on published Greenbrier PPTs living in the Sinking Creek area (near the Hugharts, due east of Clintonville today). He shows up in Cabell Co. PPTs by 1820 though his son Adam was there by 1811 and son in law Andrew Hughart in 1809. I've not been able to connect him with the other Greenbrier or Augusta Black families though there were a number as early as 1750 in the Cowpasture and Beverly Manor area. Alexander, Samuel and William appear fairly early on. It appears that James and John Black signed the 1783 Greenbrier Land title petition Greenbrier Personal Property Tax Lists Black, James 1782/83 , 1786, 1792 Black, Samuel 1782/83, 1787 Black, John - 1786, 1787 Black, Joseph - 1786, 1796 Black, Peter- 1796 Black, Abraham on Sinking Creek 1796, 1805, 1815 Black, Adam on Sinking Creek 1805 These citations are not complete because at the time, I wasn't sure who I was looking for!! So if you get any responses that deal with the Greenbrier Black families, I'd love to hear about them.
