Subject: Thomas G. BLACK
Date: Sat, 31 Jan 1998 16:26:32 EST
Time to list my BLACK family data in hopes of finding more ancestors. I am

trying to find the parents (and more) of THOMAS G. BLACK, born 7 March 1809, Illinois (probably Pike Co.) , died 1 August 1868, Colusa, California. He was the head of a wagon train coming to California during gold rush days. Married Margaret Morrison(born 25 February 1819, Indiana, died 9 February 1902, Yolo county, California) Her parents were James Dickinson Morrison (1793-1870) and Lydia Lee (1798-1877).
Children of THOMAS G. BLACK and MARGARET MORRISON BLACK were:

- James Jefferson Black;
- Cynthia Jane Black;
- Mary Lydia Black (my line, she married George Washington Freeman);
- Georgiana Dallas Black;
- John William Black;
- Nancy Morrison Black;
- Charles Lee Black;
- Frank Edwin Black.
Any help would be great appreciated and of course I will share anything and everything that I have on these down lines. Sorry this got so long. Jeannie
