Not Pendelton Co but Upshur Co. The Kesling is from Keslings Mills. From the book " Footprints In The Hills" by Lemoyne Wentz Miller. Jacob Kesling was born 1779, probably in Rochingham Co, Va. He married Mary " Polly" Black in 1798. Jacob and his family, along with Teter Kesling and his family migrated to what is now Upshur Co. Wva. in the early 1800's . Jacob Kesling died 1847 , and is buried in Kesling Church Cem. Mary Black Kesling died 1853, at age 74. The Black family were Scotch Irish, and migrated from Pa to the Shennandoah Valley in Va. this quote from Oren F Morton, Highland Co History page 67. Robin in Lakeland

Robin, Unfortunately it doesn't look like we have a match. Daniel Black was born in Ireland in 1778 and didn't arrive in the US until about 1802. He settled in Ohio, but his son Daniel Black married Hannah Smith, daughter of Henry Smith of Pendleton County and the younger Daniel moved to Pendleton County before the 1850 census.

Jane, Did Daniel Black have a daughter named Susannah born 1810 who married Christopher "Stuffield" Swiger? They are my ancestors and I haven't been able to find her parents. Thanks.
