On July 1, 1961 the descendants of William Black, who emigrated from Glasgow, Scotland around 1817, gathered at Mt. Zion United Methodist Church in Alleghany County, North Carolina for the purpose of establishing an organization of the Black family.

Now, almost 50 years later, the descendants of William & Nancy Allison Black have produced a history of their family.

Two centuries after coming to America, here is their story.

William & Nancy had 8 children:

John Black married Mary Ann Reedy
Jane Black married James Reedy
Alexander Black married Martha (Mattie) Hampton
Elizabeth Black married David Pugh
David Black married Jennie Zilphia Virginia (June) King and later married Irena Jane Cox
Mary Black married Daniel Alby Taylor
Martha Black married John Harrison Stamper
Nancy Black married Alexander Pugh
