West of the Blain on the New Germantown road where James Anderson now lives, Anthony Morrison warranted two hundred and one acres on the 9th of September, 1766. This farm then included parts of the Jacob Clauser and David Hollenbaugh tracts. It was long owned by George Black, the father of John Black, and Mrs. Roddy, of New Bloomfield, and is known yet as the “ Black homestead.” George was a son of George Black, of Raccoon Valley, Tuscarora township, a family whose history is identified with the earliest history of the county. George Black, of Jackson, married Margaret, the daughter of Anthony and Eleanor Morrison, on the 16th of April, 1781, and shortly afterwards purchased the Morrison farm. Mr. Morrison made his home with his son-in-law, Black, where he died about 1827. He is described as a “ large and corpulent man,” and in his old age became blind. George Black also warranted several tracts of land in the township,—one for “ fifty acres adjoining James Adams and Anthony Morrison,” on the 3d of February, 1790 ; also “three hundred and fifty acres adjoining lands of James Morrow, Geo. Black and Thomas Forster,” on the 15th of March, 1803. George Black had four children by his first wife, Margaret Morrison,—-Anthony, John, Mary and Eleanor. After her death he mar ried Jane, a daughter of George and Susanna Mc-Millen, of Madison, and had by her ten children,——Jonathan, George, John, Thomas, Samuel, Margaret, Nancy, Susanna, James and VVilliam.
