TO ALL DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM BLACK AND SARAH STEVENS
Since the publication of "Our Black Family in America" by
my parents, Sarah H. and Chester A. Black in 1960, much research
has been done in Ohio, North Carolina and elsewhere to find the
Black and Stevens ancestry.
Some efforts have been made to coordinate and share the
research results, but as far as I know, the breakthrough has not
been ma de .
I would like to hear from relatives interested in joining a
William Black Family Genealogical Organization and probably
setting up an Internet Web Site.
William Black and Sarah Stevens did have parents!!!!
They need to be identified .

Dear Mrs. Black:
We have been very busy and have delayed making a report to
you as these services are not ce lucrative as some of our
other work. We are aaklng no chartje for our services to
date besides the two dollars enclosed in your letter. A
town of Vermillion was platted December 25, 1818 in Clear
Creek Township but the town was never developed and is now
far:.", land. We find no John or Vifilliam Black owning any real
estate in this Townshlj- and assuae that the reference is to
Vermillion Township. Ashland County, Ohio was established
In 1846 from part of Richland County and other counties.
Clear Creek Township and Vernilllon Township are now in
Ashland County, Ohio.
V/e find no record in Richland County to real estate in
Vermillion To*mBhlp to or from William or John Black, except
only the following:
Tn.e Southeast Quarter of Section 25, Verciillion Township,
containing 160 acres, v/as conveyed to Vfilliaa Black by
deed dated Auyjrt 26, 1S17 and recorded at Volume 25,
Page 435.
Said Quarter Section was conveyed by 'Villian Slack
and Sarah Black, his wife, to Joseph Strlcklin by deed
dated November 18, 1822 and recorded at the same
Volume and Page .
The east half of the Southeast Quarter of Section 35 in
said Township was conveyed by Wllllai:: Black and Sarah
Black, his wife, to Samuel Black by deed dated Kay 4,
1835 and recorded at Volume 9, Page 4SC.

August 10, 1837 and recorded at Volune 18, Page 451,
V.'e find no legal proceedings or estates in said names prior
to 1850. •^
The above conveyances do not make an intelligible story. It
may be possible that we can find some additional records. If
you wish us to make further examination, please rercit $5.00.

Introduction
CT J JlTYi this volume we offer to the Black family and to the
1/1/ world a record of the descendants of William Black and
^ '^ Sarah Stevens. The William Morley Black family organ-
ation, publisher of this record, was established in its present form
in 1941 in Salt Lake City, Utah, with Chester A. Black as president,
Homer Black as vice president, Amy J. Carroll as secretary and
treasurer, and Sarah H. Black and Myrtle Redd as genealogists
and historians. For several years Sarah H. Black has been histor-
ian only. Many people have helped in numerous ways, and over
the years hundreds of letters have been written and endless hours
spent in research.
Some members of our family have become great; of these,
when known, we have tried to tell. Many have been heroes in the
world wars, and to these we pay tribute. With this book we want
to honor especially our distinguished ancestors, who have served
their God and their fellowmen as physicians, preachers, mission-
aries, patriarchs, bishops, presidents of Stakes, presidents of un-
iversities, superintendents of schools, school teachers, lawyers,
bankers, and as skilled workmen in every field. About some of
them we know little or nothing because the records concerning
them were not sent in. Some of those we love most served their
country well, but of these there are so many we mention only
one, as an example of those who paid the price of freedom with
their lives. We mention him because he became famous in World
War II, lost his life to the cause, and in addition because we have
been given all the necessary information concerning him.
There are, of course, mistakes. We have checked, rechecked,
and retj^ed many pages, but even with perfect records, it would
be easy to copy incorrectly. We hope the errors will be few.
This record is accurate insofar as possible. We have records
from old family Bibles, from wills, deeds, and from census and
county records. Many complete family records have been sent in
by members of the family and all these we have tried to copy
accurately.
We hope someone will trace our first American ancestor and
go back to the old countries to gather the records of this family.
XI
This is a good family, and we are proud to belong to it. The fam-
ily is of several different faiths, but we all believe in one God; and
may He bless us and let us know and love the truth.
We wish to express our thanks to each and every one who
has so generously sent records, and we are truly sorry that all
these have not come in. Perhaps someone will add to this book
so that the records may be complete.

Explanation of Contents
This book has been compiled by families, rather than is some-
times done in books of this type, by breaking the families and
listing each individual separately in his generation. We have
begun by listing the parents, followed by each successive child
whose children are also listed successively. Since we realize that
this family is large and complex, and it is easy to become lost in
its labrynthian detail, we have numbered each individual twice.
In front of each name is a Roman Numeral, followed by an Arabic
Numeral. The Roman numeral indicates the generation, the Arabic
Numeral places the individual in successive order in his family.
In order to break the book into convenient chapters, we have
devoted a chapter to each family large enough to merit this treat-
ment. However, in listing the first two generations, there are some
families which are too small or about whom too little information
is available for a complete chapter. These families have been
listed with the parents in the first chapter. The descendants of
William Morley Black are so numerous that most of his children
have families large enough to merit individual chapters. The few
exceptions have been listed in his autobiography.
We realize that not every family is listed completely, but we
have made every possible effort to obtain complete records. Where
we were unable to obtain information, we could only list that part
which we could obtain.

The First Two Generations
The families in America by the name of Black are numerous.
We have tried in this book to list all members of the family of
William Black and his wife Sarah Stevens. Real proof of the origin
of this family in America has as yet not been found. From letters
and old Bibles and stories handed down from one generation to
another we are led to believe the first member of the family in
America was either John or William Black, and we are sure he
fought in the Revolutionary War in North Carolina around King's
Mountain. The names of William and John are so common we
have been unable to find absolute proof of his identity. Until
further proof comes to light we are offering this account and
hope some day to find the beginning.
The census of 1840 taken in Lawrence County, Illinois, lists
this family. William gave his age as seventy and his place of birth
as North Carolina,
The Black family was well established in Vermillion, Rich-
land County, Ohio, until 1837, when the elder son of the family
lost his farm and decided to move to Illinois where land was to
be had for the taking. Judging from the land deal, a copy of which
is here reproduced, the rest of the family followed very soon. The
sister, Rhoda, with her husband and family were already in St,
Francisville, Lawrence County, by the time John reached there,
and soon the whole family had taken farms and were settled close
to what is now Bridgport, Lawrence County, Illinois. They were
staunch Baptists, and when a church was erected the names of
the Black family were all engraved on a plaque outside the door.
So many of the family lived there the settlement was called
Blacksburg; the name, however, was later changed to Bridgport.
In Ohio William Black owned and operated on his own land
the first grist mill on the Black Fork of the Vermillion River.
In the 1850 census we find William Black and his wife Sarah
Stevens Black had left Illinois and returned to Vermillion, Ohio,
but by that time the county had been divided and Vermillion was
now in Ashland County. By 1850 Sarah was dead, but William was
living there with one of the younger sons. He gave his age as 80 , '
in 1850. By 1860 he too was gone.
2 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
I WILLIAM BLACK, b. 1770 North Carolina, died before 1860 in Rich-
land, Ashland, Ohio, married Sarah Stevens b. 1774 North Carolina,
d. before 1850.
Children:
II 1. Mary Black, b. 1795 North Carolina, married Samuel Hunt.
Children:
ni 1. William Hunt, b. 1818.
Ill 2. Sarah Hunt, b. 1819.
Ill 3. John Hunt, b. 1822 twin.
Ill 4. Thomas Hunt, b. 1822 twin.
Ill 5. Reason Hunt, b. 1826.
Ill 6. Baldwin Hunt, b. 1828.
We can find nothing more concerning this Hunt family. This
much is given in the Black family records. Mary may have married
before they left North Carolina, as records do not indicate that
she was with her family in either Ohio or Illinois.
II 2. John Black, b. 24 March 1797, North Carolina, d. 15 Oct. 1839,
Bridgport, 111.; married 19 April 1821 Mary Cline, b. 31 Jan. 1802
Penn. daughter of Jonas Cline (Klynn) and Catherine Rose Tryntje
Roosa See Index Listing Revolutionary War record of Jonas
Cline.)
John Black's son William (Morley)* has this to say about his
father:
"My father was an independent farmer owning 40 acres
of rich farm land situated in the heart of a forest. He was
methodical in all of his labor, inclined to be mechanical and
gave close attention to his farm, which gave ample support for
himself and his family. He also owned and operated a lathe
and turned legs for tables and bedsteads and wooden bowls,
and he was known for the excellence of his ax helves. He was
anxious for all of his children to get all the education they
could. Educational facilities were meager and primitive — it
was two and one-half miles from our house to the little coun-
try school house. During the winter, as a rule, we had three
months of school in which we were taught reading, writing,
arithmetic and spelling. I recall only two winters when I at-
tended school. I had but one book, Webster's American Dis-
pencer. During the two winters I learned it off by heart, then
passed the book to the younger children. I think my sister
Rachel's family still have it in their possession.
* William was not christened William Morley but later adopted the name Morley, as
related m his Autobiography. We have used parentheses for clarity.
THE FIRST TWO GENERATIONS 3
"When I was eleven years old our neighbor, a man whom
we all respected, got into trouble and my father went his bond
in the sum of $500.00. That was a lot of money in those days
and when the time for the trial came the neighbor could not
be found. It took our farm to pay the bond. Illinois, a new
State, was widely advertised as a place where good homes
were to be obtained more cheaply. Father and three of our
neighbors moved into Lawrence County, Southern Illinois,
and purchased homes near where Bridgport now stands. That
late fall father's parents and his brothers came from Ohio and
bought land near ours. It was a wide, level country, beau-
tiful with groves of trees, with stretches of prairie, with cold
springs, and streams of clear water abounding with fish. The
drawback was an occasional swamp giving rise to malarial
fever, and here after two years of hard labor building a new
home, our first great sorrow came to us in the death of our
dearly beloved father. His was among the first graves in the
old cemetery near Bridgport."

William Black, son of William and Sarah Stevens, was only
twelve years old at the time of the War of 1812. He and his brother
John drove a team and wagon to take supplies to the men on the
fighting lines. He owned land with his father and brothers in
Ohio, and with them he sold out and moved to Illinois, where his
elder brother John was now living. He was a prominent man and
raised his family in Bridgport.

THE FIRST TWO GENERATIONS 5
II 6. Jonathan Stevens Black, b. 1806 (1840 Census lists Pennsylvania as
as birthplace, both died before 1850, married Mary Ann Ryland,
b. abt. 1810 daughter of William Ryland and Catherine. Family rec-
ords say Jonathan Stevens Black, his wife, and a little girl all died
at about the same time. The census of Vermillion, Ashland County,
Ohio, for 1850, lists a child, Stevens Black, aged 4, as living with
his grandparents, William Ryland and his wife, Catherine. In the
1860 census the child was still with them, then aged 14.)
Children:
III 1. Daughter Black, b. 1844 Bridgport, Lawrence, 111. (family record)
d. before 1850.
Ill 2. Stevens Black, b. 1846 Bridgport, Lawrence, 111.
II 7. Samuel Black, b. 1808 (census of 1860 lists Maryland as birthplace) ;
married Harriet Bakehorn, b. 1812 Ohio.
Children:
III 1. Jonathan Black, b. 1839 Bridgport, Lawrence, 111. d. July 1863
(Record of William M. Black)
III 2. Martha Black, b. 1843 Bridgport, Lawrence, 111.
II 8. Daniel Black, b. 1816 Vermillion, Richland, Ohio; married Elizabeth,
b. 1817 Ohio.
Children:
III 1. William R. Black, b. 1841 Bridgport, Lawrence, 111.
Ill 2. Mary E. Black, b. 1845, Vermillion, Ashland, Ohio.
III. 3 William M. Black, b. 1851 Vermillion, Ashland, Ohio.
William Black, the father of the family, apparently moved to
Illinois and lived there for about four or five years. The eldest
son John had died in 1839 and their son James "went across the
river into Kentucky." The old people, with Jonathan Stevens
Black, Samuel, and Daniel, must have longed for the old home,
as they returned to Ohio. William Morley Black in his family
record gave the death of Jonathan Stevens Black and his wife
and their little girl, and the 1850 and 1860 census of Ashland con-
firm this information. By 1850 James was in Kentucky, Jonathan
S., John, and Grandma Sarah Stevens Black were dead; William
the elder was living with his son Daniel in Ohio, then 80 years old.
Samuel also lived in Ohio. WilUam died sometime between 1850
and 1860 as he was not listed in the 1860 census, which showed
no more children for Samuel or Daniel.
We tried to find some descendents of Stevens Black or of
Samuel or Daniel. John Wilson Black, who will be referred to
later, made a trip to Ohio for us in the effort to locate some of
these people. He sent us many addresses of Blacks he contacted,
but none of them answered the letters and as there was already so
much information we decided not to follow up these contacts.
Perhaps some day we will be able to find them.

8 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
Carrie and her sister Mabel have been wonderfully helpful
in the compiling of this book and we wish to express our gratitude
to them. Mabel was very interested, and we are sorry she passed
away before the book was finished, as she was anxious to see it.
After Mabel's husband died, she lived for some time with her
sister Carrie, then she went to Phoenix where her two sons were
living, but she longed for her "dear Illinois." She died in Phoenix
but was taken back to Bridgport, the home of her family on both
sides for at least two generations, for burial beside her husband.

III 2. MARTIN LUTHER BLACK, b. 7 Jan. 1824 Vermillion, Richland,
Ohio, d. 2 80ct. 1894; married 1st 2 Feb. 1854 Margaret A. Barekman,
b. 7 July 1831 111.
Being the eldest son in the family, the responsibility of man-
aging the farm and providing for his mother and the younger
children rested upon Martin Luther. For fifteen years he cared for
the family. Shortly after the death of the father, John Black,
Martin's younger sister and pet, Catherine, was born.
Margaret A. Barekman (King) was a widow with one son,
George King. After their marriage Martin and she decided to go
to California to seek gold as so many of their friends had done.
They left the family in Lawrence County and, with all they had,
started west. In St. Louis they met some of their friends returning
from California and were told there was no more gold to be found.
Martin started back home with his family but when they got to
Wayne County, Illinois, they found good land and decided to stay
there. They homesteaded near Barnhill, Wayne County, and there
raised a family. Margaret died soon after the birth of their third
son. Five years later Martin remarried and all that branch of the
family have been raised near Barnhill or Fairfield, Wayne County,
Illinois.

logical Seminary in Philadelphia, and again majored in music
and the seminary Sacred Music Department. I graduated in
1950 with my B.S.M. (Bachelor of Sacred Music) degree, fol-
lowing which I continued additional studies on the college and
seminary level at Eastern. In 1952 I became director of music
and Christian education in the Kopperston Community
Church, Kopperston, West Virginia. In Sept. 1953 I moved to
Dunbar (near Charleston), West Virginia, where I am now
beginning my fifth year as director of music and Christian
education with the First Baptist Church (a member of the

In assembling this record Clarence helped us more than any
other individual. He was a very hard-working farmer, but at the
times we have sent him word that we could get no response to
letters he left his work and drove many miles to contact people
and obtain records or have them sent to us. We wanted very much
to meet him, but he passed away before we could do so. We all
owe a debt of gratitude to Clarence for his help, and we sincerely
hope that in the happy place where he now resides he will know
that the book is finished and of our appreciation. He died very
suddenly.

Autobiography of William Morley Black
William Morley Black, b. 11 Feb. 1826, Vermillion, Richland, Ohio
d. 21 June 1915
The following autobiography was dictated to his daughter
Eva by William (Morley) Black during his last illness. Day after
day Eva sat beside him and wrote in long-hand as he told his
story to her. Later it was rewritten by John R. Young, a son-in-
law. The compiler has done a great deal of research and some
facts have been discovered which are being added, accompanied
by the proof.
After the death of my father it became necessary for me
to hire out to help make a living for the family although I
was thirteen years old. For two summers I worked at the
brick yard, getting thirty-seven and one-half cents a day.
Winters I hired to do farm work, getting five dollars a month.
When seventeen years of age mother consented to let me go
to Fulton County, Illinois, where her parents and her brothers
and sisters were living. It was many miles from Lawrence
County to Fulton and it took me some time to get there, walk-
ing most of the way. My grandparents were glad to see me
and to hear of their daughter but they were having a hard
time so I got work on a farm, getting eight dollars a month,
which was considered good wages. The second summer I
made an agreement with Mr. Brockman, a contractor and
builder. He was to pay me six dollars a month and teach me
the trade of masonry. I worked with him two summers, then
he died, so that ended that venture.
When in 1845 the little towai of Cuba was started. I
secured a town lot and began to gather material to build me
a house. At that time I had made the acquaintance of a family
by the name of Banks. Their daughter, Margaret Ruth, and I
fell in love. I was temperate, industrious, and saving, and
during the summer erected mainly by my own labor a tidy,
two-roomed house. On the 5th of February 1847 Margaret
Ruth and I were married.
I took quite an interest in politics, and in 1848. I ran for
sheriff on the Democratic ticket and was elected. In the win-
ter of 1848-49, the news of the discovery of gold in California
created quite a fever in our town, and I caught the fever. In
the spring of 1849 a joint stock company was formed to go to
the gold field. I resigned the sheriff's office and paid one
hundred dollars into the company, which entitled me to a

passage across the plains to California.
On the first of April, 1849, twelve citizens of the town of
Cuba met together and formed a joint stock company, each
member paying one hundred dollars into the treasury to be
used in purchasing teams and outfits for a journey of two
thousand miles through an unsettled Indian territory. We
formed as it were a community compact for our defense and
protection. The agreement bound us together until we should
reach the gold fields. Anyone could withdraw from the com-
pany, but in so doing they forfeited the capital they had in-
vested in it. William Maxwell was elected captain. I was
elected as a teamster. On the 3rd of April, with light hearts
and high ambitions we kissed our wives, children and parents
goodbye and took the trail for the Eldorado of the West.
One hundred miles from Cuba brought us to Nauvoo on
Saturday, and we rested the Sabbath. I strolled the streets
of the city. Many of the houses were vacant. Those that were
inhabited were occupied by a people whose language was
strange to me. I was told that the builders of the city were a
lawless set who for their crimes had been driven out and their
beautiful substantial homes had become a prey almost without
price to a company of French Icarians who purchased from
the mob at low prices the homes of the exiled Mormons. Here
we crossed the Mississippi River and followed westward on
the roads made three years previously by the fleeing fugitives
from Nauvoo. We crossed the Missouri River at Omaha and
rested a few days until we were joined by other gold seekers;
we numbered 75 men and 30 wagons. William Maxwell was
elected as Captain over the new comers to our group.
The journey to Salt Lake Valley was a prosperous one.
The most lively incidents were the days when for sport we
hunted buffalo, thousands of them were shot down for the
mere fun of the thing. No one seemed to consider that they
were the property of the Red Men, and that they by genera-
tions of inheritance claimed them as we claim our marked and
branded cattle. Sad indeed was it for the Sioux nation when
the white men made a thoroughfare through their well
stocked hunting grounds.
On the 24th of July we entered the Salt Lake Valley,
emerging from Emigration canyon. We were all on tiptoe and
anxious to see the kind of civilization the Mormons would
exhibit to us. Descending from the bench lands we soon en-

countered well cultivated fields that extended westward in
evidently small compact holdings to the very doors of their
homes. Every field was irrigated by a newly made irrigation
canal, and the scarcity of weeds gave evidence of careful cul-
ture. Passing through their city I saw the marking of several
blacksmith shops, but not a sign of a saloon, or even barber
pole, tavern or hotel could I see. But in the northern and
thickest settled part of the town we passed a large brush bow-
ery constructed evidently as a screen from the sun and used
for the public gatherings. And today it looked as if the entire
community, both old and young, male and female, were as-
sembled there. At first I thought we had lost our reckoning
and this was the Sabbath day, but this could not be, as the
Mormons were an un-Christian, lawless set who doubtless
paid no heed to the Sabbath. Passing the city we camped on
open ground, on the bank of a small stream called the Jordan.
Across the street opposite us stood a low two-roomed house.
The laughter of the children announced to us that the in-
mates of the house had come. I met the father whom the fam-
ily called Uncle Buck Smithson. I asked if myself and
companions could get supper with them. He hesitated and
finally said: "You are welcome, we would be glad to have you
come, but I am afraid that our simple supper of milk, meat
and pigweed greens would seem very poor to you. We have
no bread because the flour we brought a year ago has given
out. We have not had bread for three weeks, and have no
hopes of any until our harvest."
I gave him a pan of flour and in return partook of as
relishable a meal as I ever have eaten. The dirt floor was
cleanly sw^ept; in fact everything, though crude and primitive,
was neat and tidy. When seated at the table Uncle Buck said
he wanted them to be quiet, and then he gave thanks for the
ample supply of food and asked the Father to bless it to our
use. This was the first time in my life that I had heard a
blessing asked on our daily food, and this prayer fell from
the lips of an uncultured Mormon.
Toward evening I met another Mormon, a Mr. Wilham
Wordsworth. He was a man of pleasing address, evidently
well educated. He explained to me the nature of the gathering
in the bowery. Two years ago today the pioneer company of
the Mormon people, the fugitives from Nauvoo, entered this
uninhabited and almost unknown valley, and their thankful-
ness was enhanced by the hope that they were beyond the
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 19
reach and power of their old enemies who had cruelly mobbed
and persecuted them for the last 15 years.
Their suffering and the martyrdom of the Prophet was all
news to me and I wished to know the nature of all their suf-
fering. To my surprise Mr. Wordsworth invited us to attend
their church services on the morrow. I accepted the invitation
and he promised to call for me. Sunday, July 25, 1849, is a
day ever to be remembered by me. Mr. Wordsworth called
early and after chatting ten or fifteen minutes with members
of the company, and again extending an invitation to us all
to attend their church, he and I walked together to the bow-
ery. We secured seats near the front of the congregation. On
the west was a raised platform of lumber on which were
seated some twenty of their leading elders, including Presi-
dent Brigham Young. Under the shade of the bowery, seated
on neatly made slab benches were the choir and congregation.
Services opened with singing and prayer, and the sacra-
ment (bread and water) of the Lord's supper was blessed and
passed to all the people. Then a man of noble, princely bear-
ing addressed the saints. As he arose Mr. Wordsworth said:
"That is Apostle John Taylor, one of the two men who were
with our Prophet and Patriarch when they were martyred in
Carthage jail." The word "Apostle" thrilled me, and the pow-
erful sermon and testimony that followed filled my soul with
a joy and satisfaction that I never felt before, and I said to
Mr. Wordsworth, "If that is Mormonism, then I am a Mormon.
How can I become a member of your Church?" He answered,
"By baptism." I said, "I am ready for the ordinance." He re-
plied, "Do not be in a hurry. Stay here and get acquainted
with the people. Study more fully the principles of the Gospel,
then if you wish to cast your lot with us, it will be a pleasure
to me to baptize you."
That night I slept but httle. I was too happy to sleep.
A revelation had come to me, and its light filled my soul. My
desire and ambition for gold was swept away. I had found
the 'Pearl of Great Price' and I resolved to purchase it, let it
cost what it would.
After a few days rest the company pushed on for Cali-
fornia, but another man drove my team. I gave them my all
and in exchange received baptism at the hands of Levi Jake-
man. I had lost the world and became a Mormon. He that put-
teth his hand to the plow and turneth back is not worthy of
me." The parting with Captain Maxwell and company as they
20 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
continued their journey was a little painful. Their warm,
cheery goodbyes touched me in a tender place. As neighbors
and companions for 1400 miles on the plains they had be-
come dear to me, and the parting turned my thoughts back
to home and loved ones, and a shade of homesickness rested
upon me. I stood alone with strangers, but Uncle Buck Smith-
son saved the situation and strengthened my young faith with
brotherly sympathy, inviting me to make my home with them,
and he contrived to set me to work, which is a sure antidote
for the blues. My first week's work in Utah was running an
Armstrong mowing machine (sythe) for Uncle Buck, cutting
wire grass on the Jordan bottoms. At the end of the week I
found employment as a stone mason in helping to lay the
foundation of the Council House, the first public building
erected in Salt Lake City. Daniel H. Wells was the superin-
tendent. He was kind and sociable and soon knew my history,
and all his life he manifested an interest in me. When the
Council House was ready for the carpenters, the masons were
started on the tithing building, an adobe structure erected
where the Hotel Utah now stands. While laboring on its walls
I became well acquainted with President Brigham Young, as
he visited us almost daily, carefully noting the quality of our
work. By nature he was an architect and builder. During the
summer I learned that Bishop Lorenzo D. Young was going
back to the States on Church business. 1 thought it was a
good chance for me to return for my family, and I also felt
anxious to carry the glad tidings of the Gospel to my rela-
tives, but I felt impressed to ask President Young's counsel,
and did so. He listened attentively to my expressions for
a few moments; he was silent as if absorbed in thought,
then speaking very slowly and quietly he said: "I think you
had better stay here until you get better acquainted with us
and the principles of the Gospel; possibly you may not like
us, and should you return now your friends may reject the
Gospel and you being young in the faith might by their in-
fluence be weaned from it. I would advise you to stay longer."
That settled it with me. So far all that I had met was in
harmony with my feelings and judgment. But a little test
was coming. We had finished the Tithing Building, and for
want of better work I went to hauling wood. A Brother Wool-
sey let me have a yoke of oxen and a wagon and boarded me,
giving me half the wood that I hauled. It took three days to
get a load. Each week I earned a load of wood for which I
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 21
generally got $8.00, making $1.25 a day, and that was con-
sidered good wages. One day President Wells told me that I
had been selected as one of a party to go to Sanpete Valley
and to aid in making a settlement. I did not wish to go^ as I
had been told that it was a cold frosty place, too high in alti-
tude for agricultural purposes, and I felt that my condition
would not be bettered. Again I could not see just what right
the President had to call me. I understood and expected them
to guide me in spiritual matters, but this was of a temporal
nature and beyond their jurisdiction. These were my thoughts
and this pioneer call was the first trial to my faith. I am
pleased to say the pause was only for a moment. On reflection
God's dealing with Noah, Abraham, Moses, Lehi, and Nephi
was strong evidence that reasonings and traditions were in-
correct. Was not God the author of the world as well as the
Gospel? If he builded the earth, why not govern it? If it
requires union of spirit and matter to bring exaltation of men,
then it must be that the priesthood has a right to direct in
material or temporal things as well as in spiritual things.
The next time I met Brother Wells I told him I was
willing to go to Sanpete or anywhere else. I want my descend-
ents who may read this sketch to bear in mind that I was a
new disciple and my mind was still steeped in the ideas and
thoughts of sectarianism, and obedience to the requirements
of the priesthood was a new doctrine to me. But the call set
me to thinking and studying, and led to an increase in knowl-
edge. Today I cannot recall the exact date of my starting to
Sanpete, but some time in February 1850, in company with
Ephraim Hanks, William Potter and four others the start was
made. There were no settlements south of Salt Lake City until
we reached Provo, where the settlers were living in a fort.
Our progress was slow on account of muddy roads from the
melting of the snow and frequent storms that came at that
season of the year. At the crossing of the Spanish Fork Creek
as we were moving in a narrow road cut through heavy wil-
lows a troop of Indians appeared on the opposite bluff and
opened fire on us. I was driving the lead team and I am free
to confess that I halted as soon as I could. Ephraim Hanks,
the leading spirit of the company, stepped fearlessly to the
front, and in Spanish held a parley with the red men who
were under the leadership of Josephine, a reputed half-broth-
er of Walker, the king of the mountain Utes. The Indians
refused to let us advance unless we would pay tribute. We
22 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
gave them one sack of flour and three sacks of corn meal as
a peace offering, which was in harmony with President
Young, who said it was cheaper to feed them than it was to
fight them. It was by President Young's wisdom and foresight
that Hanks was along. He was by nature an athlete of won-
derful power, he loved excitement and danger, qualities that
gave him influence with the Indians on this occasion. They
had the advantage of us and had they continued the onslaught
we could not have escaped the whistling of the bullets, which
was new music to me, and I was glad when the music ceased
and we received no further harm than a scare and the loss of
four sacks of possessions.
The trip was a hard one, mud and bottomless roads in
the valleys and over the divide at the head of Salt Creek the
snow was from two to four feet deep for several miles. We
could move but two wagons at a time. I have often thought
how wise it is that we cannot see the end from the beginning,
for often the difficulties would be greater than our faith and
we would fail to make the progress that we do. After two
weeks of hard struggling we reached Manti on Sunday and
received the heartiest of welcomes. Old and young turned out
to greet us and in a short time all of our little company were
made to feel at home with old acquaintances. I alone was a
stranger without kin or acquaintance, but a warm welcome
awaited me. Father Morley, who presided at Manti, came
and asked if I had friends to stop with. I told him I was an
entire stranger. "Well, then, come and stop with me and be
my boy." I went. For two years my home was with Father
Morley, and I learned to love him as my own father. From
him I adopted the middle name of Morley. No bargain was
ever made; I never asked for wages and never received any.
I worked at whatever was most needed. As harvest ap-
proached we saw the need of a grist mill, as there was none
within a hundred miles of us. Phineas W. Cook and I under-
took to build one. We went to the canyon, cut and hewed the
timber, then the Ward turned out and hauled it to the mill
site at the mouth of the canyon, one mile above the fort. Then
with a broad-ax and whip-saw we prepared and erected the
frame of the mill. In the meantime Charles Shumway and
John D. Chase had built a saunnill just below us. From them
we got lumber to finish our mill, and President Young came
to our assistance by furnishing a pair of Utah home made
burrs. With this help by Christmas our little mill was running.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 23
which proved a great blessing to the infant settlements of
Sanpete.
All this time I had made my home at Father Morley's.
From him I learned that Adam and Eve were married before
Adam's fall; hence marriage is for enternity as well as time,
and a union until death do you part is of human origin. Then
he pointed to Abraham and Jacob who founded the house of
Israel. Then he cited the revelation given to the Prophet
Joseph Smith which says, "I reveal unto you a new and ever-
lasting covenant, and if ye abide not that covenant then are
ye damned, for all who will have a blessing at my hand shall
abide the law that was appointed for that blessing."
To my understanding at that time that meant plural mar-
riage. I acceped it. I met a young lady of good family that
pleased me and I pleased her. I told her of my wife and two
children and of my desires to go and bring them to Utah. With
this understanding and information she was willing to marr>^
me, and in February 1851, I married Amy Jane Washburn,
Patriarch Isaac Morley performing the ceremony.
When the work of building the grist mill was accomp-
lished and no work of a pressing nature presented itself the
anxiety of going for my family began to press upon my mind.
To bring that about I arranged with Abner Larry to go back
to Green River and run a ferry during high water, then I
would find some way to continue on to the states. We estab-
lished the ferry, but the high water didn't come, and that
enterprise failed so I returned to Manti, working at haying
and harvesting until October. I attended the October confer-
ence in Salt Lake City, and on the 7th started east in a com-
pany with Apostle Orson Hyde, Almon Babbitt and others
numbering twenty-five men and seven teams. J. M. Grant
was captain. I earned my passage by driving team and doing
guard duty for a blind man, Leonard. One fearful stormy
night, we had camped near an encampment of Sioux Indians.
In the early morning, while the blizzard was raging our horses
were stampeded and scattered. All hands turned out and
rounded them up, but when morning light came Orson Hyde's
mules were gone and were never recovered. We made the
trip in forty days, reaching the Missouri river on the evening
of November 15. Mush ice was running in the river, making
it dangerous crossing, but Captain Grant with his usual en-
ergy rushed us across. By the time the last wagon was over
it was dark, so we camped. In the morning the river was
24 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
frozen over and the boat was locked up. Severe storm followed
and I had five hundred miles to travel by team, facing the
storm and bitter cold of a severe winter. On the 18th of
December I stopped at a hotel, putting up my team at a livery
stable. After supper I went to the livery and gave my horses
a feed of oats. The barn was built with an alley running from
the front door to the rear, with stalls and good manger, and
feed boxes on each side of the alley. At the rear end of the
alley was a well on a level with the barn floor. When not in
use the lid closed on the well. This evening it had been for-
gotten and left open. I knew nothing of the well, and wishing
to wait until the horses had eaten their grain, to keep warm
I walked back and forward in the alley. In one of the beats
in the dark I walked into the well, falling on the farther edge
on my left side. The fall fractured three of my ribs, causing
me much suffering. I was so anxious to get home that I con-
tinued my journey though every jolt of the wagon gave me
pain.
On the 20th of December I reached South Canton, and to
my joy I found my wife Margaret and the children, Morton
and Martha well. She received me as one from the dead,
though I had written to her, yet her friends had prophesied
that I would never return. I will be brief in relating the out-
come of my return. I was full of love and zeal for Mormonism,
and my wife's parents were full of bitterness toward Mormon-
ism. For a while, on account of the hurt I had received and
the consequent weakness of my body, I said nothing to my
parents-in-law about my having become a Mormon, but as
soon as I could work without suffering pain I felt it my duty
to tell them. And one evening, in answer to a question of
Mother Banks, I told them I had been baptized into the Mor-
mon Church. My mother-in-law was wild with rage and
abused me without stint. I was prepared for the outburst and
calmly and kindly made explanations and tried to turn away
her wrath with mild answers. Father Banks refused to talk
further than to give me to understand that as a Mormon I
was not welcome beneath his roof. Then they retired without
bidding us goodnight.
There was no sleep for myself or Margaret that night.
It was one of the sorrows of my life; it was not a trial, my faith
was not shaken. I had received light and I knew my duty and
was resolved to do it. As daylight approached, I said: "You
are my wife, and I love you, but I love God better. I am going
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 25
to harness my horses and leave your father's roof. If you
want to go with me, have your things ready. Otherwise, I
shall take Morton and leave you Martha, and bid you good-
bye." At daylight I drew up to the door. Her bedding was tied
up and everything packed ready. I lifted her and the children
into the wagon, wrapped them in quilts, for it was storming
furiously. By her suggestion I drove past William Biers, who
had married one of her school mates. They lived two miles
away. They were surprised and amazed, but received us
kindly. We stayed the day, thankful for the hospitality, for
it was one of the worst blizzards that I have ever seen. I
shall never forget the day and the incidents. From that time
on Margaret's trust in me was a great comfort, but I resolved
to heed President Young's counsel, "Be a good boy, and come
back as soon as you can."
I had learned that the wheat crop last year in Illinois
was so great that much of it was still unthrashed, and early
winter had stopped the machines. I rented a machine, collect-
ed a working crew, and taking my family went to what was
called North Prairie and found a home for wife and children
while I spent the balance of the winter threshing. In the
spring of 1852 I ran down to Bridgport in Southern lUinois
to see my mother, brothers and sisters. I was pained and sur-
prised that they could not see the restored Gospel as I saw
it. However I had the joy of seeing my brother Benjamin and
my sister Rachel open their hearts to the gospel message, and
my dear aged mother was very friendly.
Returning I called upon a Mr. John Brush who had writ-
ten to me he had a contract to turnpike and grade seven miles
of road. He wanted to go to California, hence he wanted me to
help him build the road, then he would cross the plains with
me. He felt sure we could clear $4000 in the summer's work
and offered to divide equally with me, but I declined. On
reaching home at North Prairie I found a letter from the
blind man, Leonard, waiting me. He wished me to come to
Burlington, Iowa. He had purchased a large stock of goods
and wished me to buy the cattle and wagons needed to freight
the goods to Utah. I cheerfully agreed to aid him as it provid-
ed a way and means for me to emigrate my family to the val-
leys. I purchased twenty-one yoke of oxen and seven wagons
and loaded them with Mr. Leonard's goods, and about the
first of April started for Zion. It was near the last of May
when I reached Omaha, on the Missouri river. Here we
26 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
connected with the 18th company, the last Mormon train of
the season, James C. Snow captain. As he was not quite ready
it was thought best for me, with twenty teams that were
ready, to move out to the Elkhorn, and here wait for the main
company. We camped and waited until our patience was worn
out. Leonard and all in camp urged me to go on. Under these
conditions I consented to lead them, and away we went. Our
company being small and mostly men we were quick in
moving and easily out-traveled the large emigrant trains. We
soon passed two of them. At Hush Hollow we overtook Cap-
tain Wimmer with his train. Here also we were overtaken by
Apostles E. T. Benson and J. M. Grant, emigration agents.
President Benson censured me sharply for running away, as
he called it. President Grant eased the chastisement by wish-
ing they had more men like Brother Black.
In the morning a council was held, and it was deemed
wise to divide Captain Wimmer's company, to be handled to
advantage, so they added 20 wagons to mine, giving me forty
wagons and told us to go. We prospered. On the 2nd of October
we landed in Salt Lake City. I had worked hard for Brother
Leonard and conducted his business successfully and looked
for some remuneration, but he felt that he had done me a
great favor in bringing my family. I threatened to sue him for
my wages. He appealed to President Young, and I agreed to
abide by President Young's decision. President Grant volun-
tarily appeared in my behalf and insisted that I should have
at least three hundred dollars, but President Young said
quietly to me: "You are young and strong and can live without
the $300, but if Brother Leonard is required to pay that
amount it will kill him dead, for he worships his gold. He is
rich, and we need his help in sending some missionaries to
China. If you forgive without recompense his heart will be
warm and he will give liberally to the mission, and the Lord
will bless you."
I saw the wisdom of this counsel and accepted it. In
those days we were necessitated to haul with ox teams our
tithing grain from remote parts of the territory, and we aimed
to do that freighting so as to be at the general conference.
Fortunately I met several teams from Sanpete, and as the
trouble with Brother Leonard compelled me to stay a few
days I got Amasa Marion to take Margaret and the children
to Manti with him.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 27
Here it is proper to say that Margaret had been baptized.
She also knew that I had married Amy Jane and was prepared
to meet the new conditions my actions had brought to us. She
accepted cheerfully her share of increased responsibilities
that plural marriage brings to all who enter into it. I desire to
pay tribute to Margaret. All the rest of her life she was a real
mother and helpmate in my large family.
After conference, when the Leonard trouble was settled,
Brother Beal, who was rich enough to own a horse team,
gave me a seat in his carriage. Without a cent in my pocket I
reached Manti, where father Washburn and family and
friends gave me a hearty welcome, and Amy Jane placed in
my arms little Tamer, the first fruits of my conversion to the
Gospel. Father Washburn, wishing to confine himself to his
trade of tanning and shoemaking, offered to take me in as a
partner, I to look after the farm and other labors that came to
us. I accepted the offer, and after resting two days I took an
ox team and went to logging for a home. I had a wagon bed
and a dugout in the side of the hill near where the Temple
now stands. Margaret and Amy Jane lived together cheerfully
and our lives were happy and contented.
July 19, 1853, the Walker War commenced, and on
October fourth, John E. Warner and William Mills were killed
near our grist mill while brother Mills was on duty as
watchman or day guard. That morning brother Mills, needing
firewood, took his team with him, and it is supposed that
brother Warner filled the hopper with wheat, started the mill,
then went a short distance around a point to a grove of timber
to help load the wood when the Indians surprised and killed
them. The wants of the people required the running of the
mill and no one else understood the business. Martin Wood
and myself were called to run it night and day until the people
were supplied with flour. Two men were put on guard in the
day time and twelve at night. This continued until the first of
November when grinding ceased and we quit guarding en-
tirely to rest a few days, then we intended to pull the mill
down and move it into town, but the Indians were evidently
watching us, for on the sixth of November the mill was
burned and everything pertaining to it was lost.
At that time Hamilton and Baxter were building a grist
mill at Nephi. I moved Amy Jane to Nephi and worked for
them during the winter. In the spring of 1854 I rented their
mill for five years. I brought Margaret from Manti and we
28 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
had the family together again. All my life when conditions
would permit I kept my families together. In union there is
strength in families as well as nations.
On 26 October 1859 I married Annie Marie Hansen. In
the spring of 1860 my lease was up on the Nephi mill. I
formed a partnership with Bernard Snow and I moved to
Ephraim in San Pete Valley and helped Mr. Snow build a
saw mill and we also built a large flour mill. In all these
labors I was blessed. I had a good home and a good farm at
this time; the valuation of taxable property was six thousand
dollars. I was happy and contented.
In the spring of 1865 my aged mother with my brother,
Benjamin, his wife, Mary Ann, and my youngest sister
Catherine and her husband, William F. Hite, came by team
and covered wagon all the way from Bridgport, Lawrence,
Illinois, our old home, to visit with me and my sister Rachel
Van Vleet who with her husband lived at Beaver. My sister,
Catherine had three fine boys, Benjamin and his wife had four
little girls.
At the spring conference in 1865 some families were called
to go to Circle Valley and start a settlement. My name headed
the list with a special charge to build a grist mill. Circle
Valley was looked upon as a favored spot, and a rapid influx
of settlers followed the call. A county was organized and a
central city laid out. Edward Fulton was appointed District
Judge and I was elected county prosecuting attorney. I hated
leaving so soon after my mother and brother and sister had
arrived but it was thought advisable for them to stay in Fort
Ephraim where they could get work until the next spring
when they would join us. My sister Rachel and her husband,
Charles Van Vleet, moved to Circle Valley and we had hopes
of our family being close again. Then came the great tragedy
of the Black Hawk War with its suffering and sorrow. On the
17th of October 1865 seven men from Fort Ephraim went up
the canyon to get loads of wood when they were ambushed
by Indians. My brother Benjamin was among the first killed
at the onslaught, William Hite ran down the canyon and
was within sight of the Fort when he was killed out on the
Wire Grass Flat. Four men were killed close to where my
brother lay, the others along the canyon and close to the
fort.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 29
The following is a quote from Indian Depradations by Gott-
fredson, page 173:
"On Saturday, October 18th, a small body of men from Manti
and Ephraim went up the canyon after the bodies of those
who had been killed by Indians the previous day. They
brought the body of Benjamin Black down to where Soren
Jesperson lay. The rescuing party placed the bodies of the
' two men on a two wheeled logging cart. They went all the
way down the canyon pulling the cart by hand. When they
got to Wire Grass Flat they picked up the body of William
Hite and brought them into town."
Continuing William Black's autobiography:
The same day these seven men were killed a family by
the name of Kuhre was killed out in the fields. They had a
little boy two years old who was not harmed. He ran to his
mother's dead body and was seen by some of the town men.
A few years ago this child, now an old man, erected a monu-
ment in Ephraim to those who were killed by Indians that
day, in memory of his parents. The names of Benjamin Black
and William F. Hite are both on this monument.
During this time the settlers of Circle Valley were in a
state of seige. I was unable to go to my mother and my sisters
in our mutual grief. We had raised a crop of wheat but were
unable to get it to Manti to have it ground into flour so we
boiled the wheat or ground it in coffee mills. All labor was
paralyzed. Every able-bodied man was enrolled and had to
take his turn in looking after our stock or in guarding the
town.
In the early spring of 1866 word came to me that my
mother and my sister and sister-in-law were determined to go
back to their home in Illinois. I managed to get to Fort
Ephraim to try to dissuade them but they were discouraged
and unable to make the adjustment after their terrible tragedy
so I did what I could to help them. My sister Rachel and her
husband were there to see them off. Arrangements were
made for them to travel with a company going back East.
We saw them leave with deep sorrow in our hearts. We had
tried to give them the gift of the Gospel but none of them
wanted it; they felt bitter about what had happened to them.
30 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
My sister Catherine had come with three fine boys. One of
them lay in the little cemetery, dead of scarlet fever, two of
Mary Ann's Uttle girls had died of the same thing, both hus-
bands lay dead, killed by cruel Indians. Mary Ann, my broth-
er's widow, was expecting another baby soon but still they
would not stay. What a day of sorrow that was! To bid them
good-bye, never to see them again in this life, and knowing as
I did the rigors of the long trip back home. Mail service was
slow; not for many months did we learn that when they got
to Fort Washikee in Wyoming Mary Ann was not able to go
farther. She insisted mother and Catherine go on with the
company without her. Her baby was born there but lived
but a few weeks. She worked to support herself and girls
for some time, then married a soldier named Huftile.
Mother and Catherine got as far as Council Bluffs. There
they sold their team and wagon and went by boat down the
river to St. Louis, where one of our cousins met them and
took them home. Mother lived for years, always a true Bap-
tist. She was buried beside my father in the old grave yard
in Bridgport.
My sister Catherine married again, but more of that later.
The Indian trouble in Circle Valley continued for about two
year, then President Young advised breaking up and aband-
oning the exposed settlement. In April of 1867 we moved from
Circle Valley and went to Beaver. Not finding employment
I spent the month of June in peeling tanbark in company
with my brother-in-law, Charles Van Vleet. We hauled tan-
bark to Parowan, 45 miles, exchanging it for produce, harness
and leather. Then I found work in the Beaver grist mill
owned by Thompson and Stewart. Finally I rented the mill
for four years. I built up a good trade so I prospered and
bought two city lots and built a comfortable brick dwelling
house at a cost of $2000. Then came a call for me to go to
Dixie, in the Southern country, and take charge of President
Snow's grist mill at Washington. I responded promptly to the
call although I dreaded it. Dixie was not a wheat growing
country and my trade prospered when the wheat supply was
abundant. I moved my wife Maria to Washington, leaving
my other families at Beaver. But I wasn't content in having
the families separated. It wasn't long until I sold out at

I was broken up and unsettled in my feelings, and when
my four year contract expired with President Snow I moved
to Long Valley and took up a small farm above Glendale
and associated my labors with Elders Joseph W. and John
R. Young. In the spring of 1873 John R. received word that
his brother, Joseph W., who was then President of St. George
Stake, was very sick. I saddled a horse and went with John
R. to St. George. We reached the bedside of the loved one in
time to witness to him our deep affection, but could not turn
away the shaft of death. We stayed by his side until he passed
away and aided in placing the mortal remains in their last
resting place. He was a lovable man and very dear to me.
John R.'s heart was so full of sorrow that he wanted quiet
and solitude. As we returned home, at Virgin Town we left
the beaten road, and bearing northward plunged into the
Kanarra forest. We climbed the mountain until we were at
an elevation of 10,000 feet and there we found the breathing
spring, so called because it ebbs and flows like the ocean tides.
In 1873 President Young visited Kanab. In considering
the circumstances of the people he thought their greatest
need was a grist mill, and in a public meeting he called John
R. Young to build one. Brother Young prevailed on James A.
Leathhead and myself to assist him. Brother Leathead and I
went into the forest and cut the timber while John R. with
his boys and mine with our ox teams hauled it twenty-five
miles to Kanab. It was a heavy stretch of sand dunes which
had to be crossed, but every obstacle was surmounted. The
mill was completed at a cost of six thousand dollars in labor
and material.
In 1874 President Young and George A. Smith visited
southern Utah and put forth their best efforts to organize
the people into working companies called the United Order.
Elder John R. Young was authorized to visit Kanab, Pehreah,
Mt. Carmel, and Glendale and establish working companies.
To me the effect of these organizations was wonderful. Those
who joined the order were consecrating all their wealth and
they seemed baptized with a new zeal that filled their souls
with energy, good will and brotherly love, while those who
were opposed to it were filled with jealousy and hatred. The
division and strife at Mount Carmel became so bitter that the
Order people sold their homes, and choosing a plat uncultivat-
ed three miles north of Mt. Carmel laid out a town and named
it Orderville. It grew so rapidly and attracted so much atten-
32 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
tion that President Young sent Howard 0. Spencer to preside
over it. He was greatly beloved by his people, but in time he
was superseded by Thomas Chamberlain, a young man of
splendid financial abilities. He led the community from pov-
erty to comfort, and under Brigham Young's watchful eye
and council they were greatly prospered. I cast my lot with
the Orderville community, consecrating my farm and teams
and interest in the Kanab mill; in fact my worldly all was put
in upon the altar, and I sacrificed in a cause that I believe
was instituted for the good of the human family.
I was placed in charge of the boarding house with seven
assistants. We prepared the food for the whole community,
numbering at first two hundred souls. It soon increased to
six hundred. We adopted system and method so that meals
were served as regularly as clock work and on economic
lines. The dining room was called "The Big Dining Room,"
no waste of substance, no wasted labor or time. Eight persons
served breakfast to a hundred families the first year. I gave
close attention to the management of the "Dining Room." The
work was confining yet I was contented.
First of November 1869 I married Louisa Ann Washburn,
a half sister of Amy Jane, my 2nd vdfe. She was several
years younger than I and younger than the other wives.
Even so we got along well together. My families lived together
in Orderville with none to mar or make afraid. We had good
schools and well attended meetings, indeed life there was a
spiritual feast. In 1874 I married Sarah Marinda Thompson,
the widow of George Spencer. She had four children when I
married her.
In 1876 Samuel MuUiner joined the Order. He owned a
grist mill at Lehi and I took Marinda and her children with
me and stayed there for about two years running the mill
for the Order. Then we returned to Orderville.
At this period the Orderville people were pulling through
a financial straight. So many poor people had joined us that
we were overloaded, and it was a difficult matter to provide
clothing. To remedy this condition John R. and myself were
authorized to rent sheep for the Order. We went to Cedar City,
and after a week's negotiation with the directors of the Cedar
City Co-op we rented six thousand head of ewes for two years.
This laid the foundation of independence for us. The next
important movement was the purchasing of the Glendale
grist mill, and I was put in charge of it. At this date our
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 33
prospects looked bright indeed. We owned a grist mill, a saw
mill, a tannery, a thrashing machine, three flocks of sheep, a
dairy, and our farms yielded one thousand bushels of wheat
yearly. Our wisest men had been called to the front as direct-
ors. It was the matured wisdom of Brigham Young that stood
as a beacon light to us and when that light went out we
were like a ship that had lost its pilot. The sailors still re-
mained but they were soon divided in council, and with
division came weakness.
When the Order dissolved I moved to Huntington, Castle
Valley, where I worked at Seeley Brothers' grist mill for
three years. Then I spent one year playing hide-and-seek
with the U. S. Marshal, but got tired of the play, so I took
Louisa and the youngest family and skipped for old Mexico,
passing through Rabbit Valley, and up the Sevier by John-
son's, I went with two teams, leving Huntington 13 November
1888, then across the Buckskin mountain to Lee's Ferry where
we crossed the Colorado River. The nights were cold but no
storms. We passed up the little Colorado in Arizona where we
lost our best horse in the quick-sand crossing the river. This
was quite a blow to us. I had purchased this fine stallion to
keep up my horse herd and now he was gone and we needed
him in our team. On the day before Christmas we reached
St. Johns, Arizona, where my son, William G., lived with
his wife, Lucretia, and her children. He was running the
grist mill in St. Johns and we spent a pleasant week there
with them, then we moved on. In Round Valley we met
President David K. Udall and found employment for the
winter in his grist mill.
In May 1889 I left Round Valley and landed on 4th June
of the same year in Colonia Daiz, Chihuahua, Mexico. So here
I was in a foreign land, not of choice but from necessity, in
my own land a crimnial, yet I had not injured a living soul.
The law that makes me an outcast was enacted on purpose
to convict me and all others of our faith like me, and was
retroactive in its operation. To me it was largely unjust,
which adds a sting to its cruelty, but what can't cured must
be endured. So I take as little of the medicine as possible and
try to be contented and cheerful.
I reached Diaz Thursday morning. It was Fast Day so I
went to Fast Meeting and was introduced to Joseph James,
who was running a saw mill. Monday morning my son Parley
and I with two teams went to hauling lumber, and stayed
34 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
with it until November. I then received a letter from R. W.
Stoweil of Colonia Juarez wishing me to come and help get
the machinery into his grist mill. I went at once and helped,
then cared for the mill for three years, getting good wages and
giving satisfaction to Brother Stoweil.
Two of my wives had gone on to the other world but I
still had two, Maria and Marinda, living in Huntington. As I
said before I always tried to keep my families together so I
wrote to Huntington asking them to join me. I realized it was
a hard move for them to make, to leave everything they had
ever known and come to a strange, hard land, but I wanted
them with me. In the summer of 1890 I received word by
mail that they were on the way with several teams in the
company. Just before Christmas 1890 they came into Diaz,
Mexico. They were a tired, discouraged bunch. Some of the
horses were locoed, a crazy condition brought on by eating
the loco weed which makes the horse almost useless for a
long time if he ever gets to be any good again.
My son Parley and I had built a two roomed, Mexican
adobe house with dirt roof. We hoped later to build better
but it was all I could do to keep so many mouths filled. I
met them there at Diaz and soon took Maria with me to
Juarez where my work was. My wife Marinda and her son-
in-law soon had an adobe house for her and I did what I
could to help them.
In the spring of 1892 some Mexicans stole my horses and
some others from Juarez. In company with Guy Taylor, John
Bloomfield, and Brother Judd I followed them into Texas.
The boys soon became discouraged and gave up the chase,
but I followed the trail alone for three weeks; then I too gave
up, deciding it better to lose my horses than to lose my life.
On the way back to Juarez I stopped for a few days with my
wife Louisa and her family and found them having a hard
time to make a go of it. Parley was a big boy and they had
two teams and wagons and I thought he could do fairly
well for his mother but such was not the case. I could do
nothing much to help at that time as I was out of money
which was always hard to come by in that hard land.
When I returned to Juarez the mill had been rented to
Brother Memmott, and I was out of work, but I soon found
employment at Jackson's old mill near Cases Grandes. I had
charge of it for two years until he built the new roller mill.
During this time I had heard of the new Colony being built
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 35
in the tops of the Sierra Madre Mountains and I decided to go
have a look. I took Maria with me and we took up a farm on
what looked like a likely place to build a grist mill. The spot
was later called Middleton as it was half way between the
new Colony, which they named Cave Valley because of the
many ancient caves along the cliffs and hillsides which
showed evidence of being ancient dwellings of some dead
peoples, and the town of Pachco.
We soon discovered wheat did not do well in the mount-
ains. The rains came just as the wheat was ready for harvest
and it mildewed, making it unfit for flour. I couldn't make a
living on the farm so I left and went back to the Valleys.
Memmott gave me a position as Superintendent in his new
roller mill. I continued in this place until 1897 when I retired
from the milling business.
In 1893 I had a severe blow when word came that my
wife Louisa had loaded up her household goods and her
children and gone back to the States. She had a new son born
in 1893 whom I had never seen and I still have never seen
him. I was heartsick at getting this word. I think I was much
to blame but I was proud, and she left me so I didn't go
after her.
Marinda had moved to the mountains and had a nice
little home in Cave Valley close to her daughter by her first
marriage and beside the two daughters of ours, Mary Belle
and Amy. Both of them had married Carroll boys.
In 1897 there was to be a jubilee in Salt Lake City. Fifty
years from the day the Mormons entered the Salt Lake Valley.
I decided to go. I felt I had earned a rest and a vacation. It
was forty-eight years from the day I entered that same valley
and was to me a great occasion. I spent the Fourth of July
and Pioneer Day in Salt Lake City, watched the grand parade,
and drank of joy and happiness until my soul was full. I
glanced backwards forty-eight years and saw myself dusty
and travel stained passing through the little string town with
its dirt roofed houses to our camp across the river on the
Jordan commons. Today the City of the Saints stands a
marvel and a wonder to the world. To me it is the new Jeru-
salem, the boon of the Latter days.
Leaving Salt Lake I went to Huntington and visited a
host of my children who had homes there. Then I went to
Beaver and visited my sweet sister Rachel. She was a dear
1/
36 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
sweet sister and it was our last visit. From Beaver I returned
to Mexico and found employment in Father Stowell's pioneer
grist mill for nearly two years. I attended the mill night and
day but my best years were past, the evening of life was ap-
proaching. My lungs commenced bleeding, and one day I
broke completely down. Father Stowell came to see me and
pronounced my condition serious. He hurriedly brought
Doctor Kelts. They arministered to me and the Doctor gave
medicine that stopped the bleeding, but he forbade me work-
ing longer in the mill, so I parted with the labors that I loved
and had followed most of my life. My son David came and took
me to Pacheco, where I made my home with my wife Maria
for two years. For exercise I worked in the garden with
David or Alorley. I rode the range helping to look after our
stock.
In 1902 I visited my sons. John M., William G., and Ben-
jamin D., and my daughters Martha Gale and Tamer Young
and their families who were living at Fruitland, New Mexico.
These people had a strong, rapidly growing ward there, and
every effort was being made to buy out the non-Mormons
who wished to sell. I went to a bank in Durango, Colorado,
and borrowed $1100 and bought the McCartage ranch of
forty acres, including four acres of fine bearing orchard. It
was a good home and financially a good purchase, but my
families had become so firmly anchored in Mexico, so many
of the children had married and built up homes of their own.
Margaret and Amy Jane had passed to the great beyond, plac-
ing the burden of caring for me upon Maria and Marinda.
Most of their children had homes in Mexico and they were
loath to leave. Under these conditions I regretted having
purchased at Fruitland, and sold the property to Albert Gale,
a grandson. During the three years that I held possession of it
I crossed the desert from Fruitland to Gallup several times.
Nothing of a thrilling nature occurred, but no one withoui
actual experience can measure the amount of energy and en-
durance put forth in crossing those sand dunes and waterless
deserts.
While residing at Fruitland and just before returning to
Mexico I attended the San Juan Conference at ]\Iancos. Colo-
rado. iVpostle Matthias F. Cowley was in attendance, and on
the 14th of May 1903 he ordained me a patriarch, and gave me
a highly treasured blessing. My eldest son, Martin Luther,
who had become estranged from his wife and family through
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 37
no fault of his own, was the first I had the privilege of
blessing in my capacity as a Patriarch. In the fall of 1905 I
returned to Mexico. In the winter of 1906, in an attempt to
mount a horse my gloved hand slipped from the horn of the
saddle giving me a heavy fall, from the effect of which I suf-
fered and had to be carefully nursed for months.
From 1906 to 1912 I remained at Pacheco, and during that
time with the assistance of David and Morley I built a good
comfortable four-roomed brick house. At its completion
it was paid for in full. I gathered my Pacheco family and
friends and dedicated it as a dwelling house, Newel K. Young
offering the dedicatory prayer.
When the rebel war broke out between Madera and Diaz
it was understood by both parties that our people would re-
main neutral and they were assured they would not be
disturbed. But when Huerta seized the reins of government
and Caranza took the field as leader, conditions became so
violent that President Taft advised all Americans to leave
Mexico. Still the Mormon colonists hesitated, hoping the war
would soon pass and peace return without their having to
leave their homes. But it was not to be, the strife went on and
robbing of our people became frequent by both parties. The
Mormons were a hard working, industrious people and in
their towns could be found all the necessities of war, good
horses, plenty of food, clothes, good saddles made right in
their own harness shop and from leather tanned in their own
tannery, good shoes for soldiers who had never known what
it was to have a decent pair of shoes. Property rights were
not respected and we were afraid to leave the shelter of our
homes. Even our milk cows were killed by passing bands for
beef, our horses were run off, there was no peace for any of
us. Conditions were becoming unbearable, some of the men
were saying they would not put up with this marauding,
there was constant danger of someone resisting and causing a
general massacre of all the Mormons. To avoid that calamity
it was deemed best to sacrifice our homes.
On the 28th of July 1912, just as our Sabbath meeting
was closing, a messenger arrived and gave us notice that the
entire community must be ready to leave by Tuesday morn-
ing. The shock and grief were beyond telling, some talked
as though they would not leave. The concensus of opinion
was that we would be back in a week and all day Monday
people were rushing around, turning out their animals.
38 OUR BLACK FAMILY EST AMERICA
chickens, pigs, and sheep, as well as cows, so they could find
feed on the hills. The dishes were left in cupboards, some even
laid the fire in the cook stoves so they could set a match to it
and cook the day's meal with no extra bother. Monday night
came and for a few there was rest; some tossed and tumbled
all night, wondering what the future might hold for them.
Tuesday morning dawned bright and clear. All accepted it as
a good omen and the pilgrimage started on a cheerful mood.
My son, David P., was made captain to guide and direct the
movement of the company. Twenty-two wagons were loaded,
all crowded full with the aged and the young, but mostly
with women and children, as many of the men were staying
to look after the stock.
Promptly at seven in the morning the train started to
move. At Porter's we met the people from Correlles. We
paused for prayer and sang the song "God Be With You Till
We Meet Again." As we looked back over our homes, the sun
shone on the houses making them look like houses from a
fairy tale. The little town surrounded by hills and towering
pine trees was home for many of these people. For twenty
years they had spent their life's entire energy here; now they
were leaving it. If we had known most of us would never
again see many of the men and boys who were staying behind,
our grief would have been much more keen.
Then commenced in earnest the hard day's drive to
Pearson. Nine miles out, in Arch Flat, the scouts saw a com-
pany of Rebel cavalry coming and David stopped us and had
the teamsters pull the wagons as close together as possible.
Only David's tact and knowledge of the Spanish language
kept us from having real trouble there. After demanding our
arms and amunition and half our horses the Captain promised
we would not be further molested. They took our best horses,
leaving us with only enough teams to pull half the wagons.*
We thought we were crowded before but now we had to
pile in as best we could. The young people walked most of the i
way until we came to the top of the mountain. Then we could
go with ease, there was no more pulling for the horses, and
we drove on into Pearson in the very late evening.
The inhabitants of Pearson had abandoned their homes,
and they were thrown open to us and we found a grateful
shelter for the night. On Wednesday, the 31st of July we were

wrecked and falling apart, still sitting at Arch Flats.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 39
put on the cars (train) at Pearson. There was a limited num-
ber of cars and in order to take all of the refugees the cars
were packed to the uttermost limit of their carrying capacity.
About 10 a.m. the cars moved with their load of human
freight and about 5:00 p.m. we reached Ciudad Juarez. We
passed the custom house and arrived in El Paso. There was
a welcoming committee and they told us they were taking us
to a lumber camp two miles from town. As we were getting
into the vehicles Harry Payne came and said, "Father Black,
the lumber camp is no place for you, you must go to better
quarters." I replied. "I must go for I have no money to go any-
where else." He leaned forward and whispered, "I remember
seeing your name on the tithing record, and you are going to
be cared for."
Apostle Ivins came and talked kindly to me. He called
a brother Sevey and directed him to take me and Maria and
see that we were well cared for. The instructions were carried
out. I remember with pleasure the Hotel Alberta where for
eight days we rested and were treated royally. I feel thankful
to the good citizens of El Paso for the aid and sympathy they
gave us. And I feel thankful to our government and to Wil-
liam H. Taft for the prompt appropriation of the very suf-
ficient sum of $100,000 to be used in giving aid to the Ameri-
can refugees who were expelled from Mexico. Of those people
about 4000 were Latter-day Saints, and the hearts of all were
gladdened by the generous assistance.
I append an invoice of property I left in Mexico, the fruits
of 25 years:
Brick house and lot in Pacheco, value $1,400.00
Fifty bearing fruit trees 350.00
Field fence- and 25 acres cultivated land „ 1,450.00

On the 10th of August Maria and I were furnished a rail-
road pass that would take us to Price, Utah. There was sor-
row mixed with joy when we parted with our friends and
fellow sufferers, the colonists. We went to Mexico for a com-
mon cause, and for twenty-five years we had toiled together
and had become endeared to each other by the sacrifice we
had made, and as a finishing touch to our experiences we
had drunk together from the bitter cup of expulsion from our
homes.
A two days' ride on the cars and we landed in the evening
of the 12th at Price. Our first act was to phone to our children
at Huntington to let them know of our arrival. Then we went
with Brother Oliver Harmon and were kindly entertained.
The next morning before daylight Isaac and Maggie arrived
and we were safe in the arms of our own dear children.
Thanking Brother and Sister Harmon for their kindness we
were soon on the road to Huntington, our old home nest,
where many of the children still reside. We were driven di-
rectly to our son Miller's where a multitude of children and
grandchildren were waiting to greet us. We stayed with Mil-
ler two and a half months and then went to Isaac's at Ferron
and stayed six weeks, and then returned to Huntington and
stayed six weeks with Martin L., and then returned to Isaac's
and stayed the rest of the winter and spring.
In June 1913 we went to Richfield and stayed until the
19th of July, excepting a short visit to Monroe and Redmond
to see the Washburn family and Maria's sister, Mrs. Chris
Brienholt, getting back to Huntington in time to join in cel-
ebrating Pioneer Day, the 24th of July.
In August I passed through a severe speU of sickness and
for several days and weeks lay near the point of death. Pre-
vious to this our son Joseph, his wife and two children, came
from Hayden, Idaho, to visit us. We also had a visit from
my son Parley of Caliente, Nevada. I felt gratified at these
marks of affection shown us by children who had been sep-
arated from us for so many years. The expulsion from our
home was almost forgotten in the joy we found in meeting so
many affectionate and loving children. It made me feel that
while I may have been a failure financially, yet I had the
power and the blessing to found a patriarchal family and name
that shall last in Israel after I have passed away, and that
knowledge comforts me.

October 1st Maria and I took the train at Price for Thom-
son Springs, then went by auto (the mail) to Moab where
David took us with team and spring wagon to Grayson, leav-
ing us at my daughter Hattie Guymon's, where we were
warmly greeted by another host of children and grandchil-
dren. Here I feel it appropriate to say that Charley, Miller,
Joseph, Walter, and Lona Porter furnished the money for
these trips. We were also helped by Anton Nielsen, David
Brienholt, A. B. Hardy, B. D. Black, William L. Young, and
Tamar B. Young. May the Lord bless them.

The last of the story of the Ufe of WilUam Morley Black was
written by his son-in-law, John R. Young, and is as follows:
At John R. Young's house February 9, 1914, several
gentlemen, some of them strangers to us and not of our faith,
in conversation with Father Black, asked if he had ever been
sorry that he joined the Mormon Church. With great earnest-
ness he testified that after baptism he received a testimony
that Joseph Smith was a Prophet of God; that he lived and
died a righteous man, and that testimony had stayed un-
dimmed with him until the present day.
Tuesday evening, February 10, the Ward teachers vis-
ited us. During the visit Father Black arose and testified, "I
know that God lives, and that Joseph Smith was and is a true
prophet, and I know that his life's labors were approved by
the Father, and that Joseph has received a crown of glory as
AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF WILLIAM MORLEY BLACK 45
a reward for his faithfulness, and I want this testimony in-
corporated with what follows:
"Feeling grateful to my Heavenly Father for his leading
me to a knowledge of the Gospel of His Son which has brought
to me an ordination to the Patriarchal priesthood and by it I
have received the blessing of wives and numerous posterity,
and that my children may know that I am humbly proud and
thankful for these blessings."
William Morley Black signed this testimony and the
story of his life on his eighty-eighth birthday in the presence
of the following:

John Morley Black
IV 6. JOHN MORLEY BLACK, b. 27 Nov. 1856 Nephi, Juab, Utah, d. 19
April 1933.
He was only a boy at the time of the Black Hawk War but
he remembered well the time his uncles, Ben Black and Bill Hite,
were killed by the Indians. In his early teens he helped build the
St. George Temple. He worked in the Washington factory, near
St. George, at which cloth and woolens called Lindsey were woven
and where cloth made from the cotton raised in Utah's Dixie were
dyed and woven. He was a natural-born mechanic, and before he
was twenty years old he was supervisor of the factory. He learned
the milling trade from his father, and in his moving about built
and operated flour mills in Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado,
and Old Mexico. He was considered one of the best millers in the
West. He was a quiet, unassuming man, honest to a fault. His word
was as good as his bond and he was respected wherever he went.
He is honored and loved by his numerous posterity.
married 1st 1 Feb. 1877 Thressa Elnora Cox, b. 25 Dec. 1860 Manti,
Utah, d. 29 July 1926 Blanding, San Juan, Utah.
Children:
V 1. Lois Elnora Black, b. 1 Jan. 1878 Orderville, Kane, Utah, d. 19 April
1951; married 7 April 1989 Samuel Franklin Wright, b. 14 Feb. 1877
West Jordan, Utah son of John George Wright and Fannie Aditha
Harrison.
She was a frail baby, this first child of a seventeen-year-old
mother, and the lives of both mother and child hung in the bal-
ance for many weeks. Lois was bom in the home of her grand-
mother, Margaret Ruth Banks Black, who was the midwife and
nurse. As a child she lived in the "Order" and well remembered
the big kitchen, large cooking vats, the wool washing, carding, and
spinning, the dying of the wool and cotton and the weaving and
knitting.
Lois moved with her father's family to Huntington, and from
there to Arizona. She went to school only between the times dur-
ing which she helped with the work at home and for the Udalls
to help with the growing family, but she finished the fifth reader,
which constituted a good education for those days and conditions.
Lois was always kind; there was no selfishness in her nature.
She married "Sam" Wright, and almost alone she raised a fine
family. Her children are all good citizens, true to the faith they
believe in; hard-working, industrious people. We wish space
would permit the praise she deserves.

SAMUEL ETHER BLACK
Samuel I'.thcr Black's faith li\cf in nicmorv as an inspiring example of a full,
happy lilc, not in spite oi, but including trials. He met hardships with a smile not
of endurance, hut ot confidence that it was in God's plan and could be turned to
opportunity Adversity spurred him to greater achievement. Because of early poverty
his greatest io\' was being able to give to others. His own unfinished mission caused
him to strive to keep a missionary constantly in the field. Health failing and with
business problems too numerous, he thanked the Lord for lots to do. As he lay
dying he laughed and joked, trying to ease the task for the ones attending him.
A flour miller in the Black tradition, he was strong and tall, six leet, 200 ]bs.,
fond of hunting and fishing and the heavy lifting of his trade and apparently
enjoyed an early venture as a trapper.
He rejoiced in his lamilv and brightened visibly in the presence of his wife
Lucy [ane Hancock and proudh' claimed they had never had one cross word.
He enjo\ed church activity, felt especially strong about tithing and the
welfare program. He was twice a branch president and once a bishop.

"Bob" graduated from Box Elder High School in 1938.
He attended Utah State Agricultural College in Logan, Utah,
where he was graduated with a major in dairy chemistry in
1942. He was a member of the National Guard, 222 Artillery,
for three years. In January of 1942, after Pearl Harbor, he
enlisted in the Navy Air Corps and became a Lieutenant
Senior Grade. During World War II he served as a pilot in
Navy Air Force, in combat the major portion of the time,
his landing field, a flat-top aircraft carrier. Of the throe air-
136 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
craft carriers to which he was assigned, the FrankUn and the
Yorktown were both bombed while he was aboard. On one
mission, strafing bombers, 30 March 1944, at Palau, his plane
was hit by anti-aircraft shells, crippling it to the extent that
he made what has been called "the most spectacular landing of
the war." When he stepped from the plane, doffing his hel-
met and laughing into the newsreel camera, his plane was
minus a tail, instrument, one wing, and the ailerons of the
other wing, yet he walked away. When Bob was released
from the service, he received the Presidential Unit Citation,
the Distinguished Service Cross, the Air Medal and the
Purple Heart, yet he was so modest no one learned of these
things except through others. He was employed by the Idaho
Creameries. Inc., of Boise from 1946 until his recall to the
service, 1 November 1952.
On 17 February 1953 Bob was killed when his Navy
bomber crashed during a high altitude test. His mother
wrote, "They were testing oxygen masks to see how high
they could go. He was leading the formation and one boy said
he radioed Bob that he couldn't go any higher. Bob turned
and dove down and they followed him, but he kept going.
After they brought Bob's body home we received letters from
almost every state in the Union and from Hawaii." His
mother also says, "I'm grateful for his work in his Church.
At his funeral service the Seventies lined up on each side of
the walk; that was the highest tribute that could be paid to
any man."

Lula Loraine Black Mullenaux married 2nd 29 March 1947 James

The following incident in the life of Aunt Louisa and her
family was sent by her daughter Lula:
There was an incident in our lives that left a deep and
lasting impression on all of mother's children and has been a
staunch testimony to each of us through our lives. That and
mother's undying faith and strength under all hardships have
kept me close to the Church and drawn me back when I have
strayed too far.
We were living at that time in Mexico, alone in a foreign
land. We were living in poverty, not even having the necessi-
ties of life. We could never afford coal oil for a light, so had
to eat our meager meals before dark. On this particular eve-
ning, being summer time, my brothers were making their
beds in the yard by the light of the moon. Mother and we
girls were in the house preparing for bed. A young couple in
240 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
Diaz just married that day had moved into a small house
across the block from us. I must have been about eight years
old. I looked toward the small house and exclaimed, "Mama,
Milo and Georgie have a light, will we ever have a light?"
Mother answered, 'Yes, dear child, God has not forgotten
us and some day we will have a light." At that instant there
appeared in our house a ball of light, brighter than any light
I have ever seen. It lighted up the house and yard as bright as
day. It lasted but a few seconds and when it disappeared we
started asking each other what it could have been. Mother
said, "That is God's way of showing us we are not forgotten
and that we have a light with us always as long as we are
faithful." We have never tried to explain it, but it made a
lasting impression on all of us and has helped many times to
carry us over the rough places.

Junius Exile Black
Left an orphan when he was ten years old, Uncle Jack has
had many adversities, but through hard work he has triumphed
over his trials and become a leader. If success is to be measured
only in material goods, he may not be wealthy, though he would
be considered a good provider. However, if success is measured
by treasures stored up in Heaven as Christ taught, then Uncle
Jack must be counted wealthy indeed. He has been Superinten-
dent of Water Works in Escondido, California for many years, and
is loved by all his host of friends. He and his wife, Carrie, have
been leaders in their community and their Church. They worked
unceasingly until the new chapel was finished, and now the
congregation is enriched by Carrie's musical ability. The crown-
ing achievement of Jack and Carrie's lives is the fine family
they have raised.

Mary Belle Black
Mary Belle Black Carroll and her sister, Amy Jane Black
Carroll, were very close all their lives. Mary was nine when they
left the order at Orderville and moved to Huntington. From there
they moved to Mexico, arriving in Colonia Diaz some time in
December 1890. She and Amy married brothers and they knew
all the trials and hardships and many of the joys of pioneer life.
Mary and her large family were forced to leave everything they
owned in July 1912 because of the Madera Revolution. Her family
lived for some time in Blanding, San Juan, Utah; then they
moved to Salt Lake City. The last years of both Mary and Amy
were spent working in the Temple until ill health forced them to
stop.

III 9. BENJAMIN JACKSON BLACK, b. 6 April 1828 Vermillion, Rich-
land, Ohio, d. 17 Nov. 1865; married Mary Ann King, b. 20 Feb. 1832
Illinois, d. 19 Feb. 1898.
We have been able to find very little of the early life of Mary
Ann King. (For story of her husband see life of his brother, Wil-
liam.) We have here exactly copied two letters Mary Ann King
wrote to her brothers, William and John, while she was in Utah,
written for her by her Brother-in-law, William Hite.
Fort Ephraim, U. S.
17 Dec. 1864
Dear brothers and sisters;
It is with pleasure that we address you these few lines
at this time. We are well and sincerely hope that this will
find you the same. Times are pretty good here at present.
Wheat is worth five dollars, corn four, oats from two and a
half to three dollars per bushel. Common labor is four dollars
per day.
This country is not much like the States in many re-
spects. In the first place, if you want to buy a farm in an old
settlement you would not always buy the land but you would
buy the water that is necessary to irrigate it. The land until
it is watered is worth nothing, but if watered from one to
three times it will produce fine. In another respect it differs
in timber. All the valuable timber is of pine and fir species,
also quaking aspens and cedar. All of these are found on the
mountains and in the canyons or hollows. As to stone, it is
abundant and of the best quality for building but the cheap-
est house here is of the adobe or sun dried brick. Salt Lake
City is more than two-thirds of that kind of building. It also
differs in the manner of making improvements. The settle-
ments are made in villages or towns and the fields are all in
one enclosure, with the town or settlement in the center. It
looks strange to see the grain stacks in the towns but so it is.
All of the towns in these valleys have the same features. They
have on the town lots their gardens, their corral or cattle pen
as it is called. The water for drink or other purposes is con-
veyed in ditches into the several streets so that there is no
street but has water running on one side or the other.
Benjamin is now gone to Circle Valley to build a house
preparatory to moving in the spring. He is going to quit log-
ging and going to farming. Perhaps you wonder at the high
250 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
prices of produce here and will think it is a consequence of
a failure of the crops. But that was not the case. There was
nearly 45,000 bushels of wheat sold from this valley in Salt
Lake City of last year's crops and it is supposed that the
present crop will be as abundant so you see that the wheat
fields of this country are and will be a great source of wealth.
I want you to write as soon as you get this and send
your likenesses as we are going south in the spring and will
be a long distance from a post office so send them if you
please as soon as you get this. No more but remaining affec-
tionately your sister,
Mary Black
To William King and Family
P.S. Please to have likeness drawn from your first wife's and
send them all together.

Dear Brother John and Family,
We embrace the present moment to write you a few
lines and hope that they will reach you and find you all in
good health. We are sorry to hear of the troubles of the war
continuing among you for so long but of one thing be as-
sured, the war has just begun and it will continue till north
and south are exhausted and humble, and they will submit
to the authority of the saints and acknowledge the Prophet
Joseph Smith, and obey the Gospel. Here is the prophecy of
the prophet, "Verily, thus saith the Lord concerning the wars
that will eventually terminate in the death and misery of
many souls. The days will come that war will be poured out
upon all nations beginning at that place; for behold, the south-
ern states shall be divided against the northern states and
the south will call on other nations, even on the nation of
Great Britain as it is called, and they shall also call upon
other nations and thus war shall be poured out upon all na-
tions and it shall come to pass after many days slaves shall
rise up against their masters who shall be marshalled and
disciplined for war and it shall come to pass also that the rem-
nants who are left of the land will marshal themselves and
shall become exceeding angry and shall vex the gentiles with
a sore vexation and with the sword and by bloodshed the
inhabitants of the earth be made to feel the wrath and indig-
nation and chastening hand of the Almighty God, until the
BENJAMIN JACKSON BLACK 251
consumation decreed has made a full end of all nations and
the cry of the Saints and the blood of the Saints shall cease
to come up into the ears of the Lord of Saboath from the
earth to be avenged of their enemies, wherefore stand ye in
holy places and be not moved until the day of the Lord come,
for behold it cometh quickly, saith the Lord. Amen."
Now brother, you have the prophecy, you can take it as
you please but look upon the events of the day and see if
you see anything like the fulfillment of the things spoken. I
need hardly say to you come to the valleys for you will not
believe, if you will not you must suffer the consequences but
if you cannot make up your minds to come we would like if
you would send your likenesses. Do send it by return mail as
we will be gone some distance from the post office, send all of
your communications to Fort Ephraim until directed to send
them elsewhere. Mother Black and William Kite's folks send
their love to you all. When you see Luther's folks say to them
to write to us. We have not had anything from Lawrence
County since last August except a letter from you to Robert
McGuire with a picture. I must close by saying adieu to the
John King family.
Mary Black
With love,
Both of these letters were written for Mary Ann King to send
to her brothers because Mary herself could neither read nor write.
Later when she was left in Fort Washakie, Wyoming, she was
completely out of touch with her family in Illinois because of this.
Someone wrote to us that she married a soldier but until we found
her daughter we knew nothing about her and thought Uncle Ben,
as he was known to the family, died without leaving any descend-
ants. Mary Ann King died in Gillett, Montana.

Rachel Black
Rachel and her husband were two who listened to the mes-
sage her brother William Morley took to them when he went
back to get his wife and two children. They came to Utah and
settled in Beaver. When Rachel's mother, her brother Benjamin
Jackson Black and his wife, and the youngest sister Catherine
with her husband came to Utah to visit William and Rachel, they
went first to Rachel in Beaver. Later they moved to Fort Ephraim
near where William and his family were living. The Indian War
broke out and they were forced to stay in the Fort. Rachel and
Charles moved to Circleville and were there at the time Benjamin
and William Hite were killed by the Indians on 17 October 1865.
They went to Fort Ephraim to see the three women and the chil-
dren off on their return to Illinois. Some of the older children
who were married have stayed in Beaver and the descendants
are still there.

We feel that Wallis L. Black's family is a credit to the name
of Black and we are happy to include this sketch just as he sent it.
My father was a blacksmith and tool maker for the Ohio
Oil Co. for many years; also while recuperating from a pulled
ligament in his arm, he traveled for Beck and Corbet Hard-
ware Company of St. Louis for a time. As for myself, I was in
the drygoods, ladies' furnishings and shoe business at Bridg-
port for seven years, then came to Texas where I served as
Division Credit Manager for Continental and Atlas Supply
Companies for some twenty-three years. I did not attend col-
lege and have only a high school education. Mr. son. Dr. Tom
is a graduate in medicine of Washington University of St.

The following is an excerpt from the memoirs of John Edwin
Black, son of William Black and Mary Lake, written about 1930:
In the spring of 1866, word came from Utah that my
cousin Ben Black and William Hite had been killed by In-
dians while in the mountains after saw logs. They had de-
cided not to remain in Utah and were preparing to move to a
new location. Their families and Aunt Polly (Mary Cline)
determined to return to their friends and relatives. Early in
the spring our folks were to arrive with a man who was
coming with two wagons, who brought them to a little town,
Wyoming, in the southeast corner of Nebraska on the Mis-
souri River. They drove one team and the younger ones
walked much of the time. Letters came to Luther Black, Ben's
brother, stating the time when they would begin their journey
and when they proposed to reach the town of Wyoming.
Letters were now carried by the celebrated Pony Express
from Kansas City to Salt Lake City and on to California at
the rate of 300 miles a day; letters could be received and
mailed at two or three forts along the route for United States
troops were stationed to look out for Indian raids on emi-
grants that were on their way to Utah, California or Oregon.
Martin Luther Black and James Milhouse, a son-in-law of
Aunt Polly's, proposed to me that they would pay my ex-
penses if I would meet their folks at Wyoming and bring
them home. I accepted their proposal and started on the 4th
of July, got to St. Louis and about 1 p.m. found a steam boat,
"William J. Louis," that would leave for Omaha, Nebraska,
at 4:00, secured passage to Wyoming and return for $25.00.
This included board, which was fine. The boat was loaded
with railroad iron and went up stream very slowly, made
about four miles an hour. On the 5th morning at daybreak
we rounded up at Wyoming, no town in sight. The clerk told
me the town was one-half mile off. The way was a wagon
road with brush and scrub timbber on each side, rather
scarey when I was alone. I soon got out to a town with a few
276 OUR BLACK FAMILY IN AMERICA
houses with many covered wagons in all directions. I was
soon near a small framed house where an old man was sitting
on the porch putting on his shoes. I asked him for a place for
breakfast and he replied, "We feed folks." I asked him how
long these wagons had been there and he said three days. I
also asked if he knew of two women and two little boys. He
said he had heard of such and they were staying in a wagon
— pointing in the direction. When nearing the wagon I saw
Aunt Polly. I was near before she saw me and she said,
"Well, Edwin," and began crying for joy. "Kathryn, Edwin
is here." She was soon out to see me. I said "Come with me
and get breakfast." They said, "No, we have something to
eat, we will eat it." I went back to the old man's place, got
my breakfast, then came back and talked with them. The
following night we stayed with the old man, who was from
Missouri. Never in my life did I have such an experience with
bed bugs. They came near eating the little boys up, from
head to toe.
As the steam boat was to return from Omaha the next
day-at 11:00, I got Aunt Polly, Katherine, and the two boys
with their few boxes and trunk, down to the landing in time
to catch the steam boat. The steam boat did not come into
sight until nearly 1:00. After we went on board we had a fine
dinner. Now on the broad Missouri bound for St. Louis, we
made good time going down stream. We were three days
reaching St. Louis. We soon got to the depot, got a train for
the town of Sumner, five miles from home. We arrived in
Sumner about 9:00 p.m. I took the folks to a small hotel. I
got a horse at the livery stable and was soon at home. In the
morning I let Martin Luther know where his mother and
sister were and he got his team and wagon and had them
home by dinner time.

We have corresponded with Dr. Floyd for many years, and
though we have never met him personally, we feel as if we are
old friends. The following history is being included just as it was
submitted by him.
My earliest recollections are of a large farm near Bridg-
port, Lawrence, Co., Illinois, where I was born. My father,
John Edwin Black, was by occupation a farmer but had sev-
eral other interests, having begun as a school teacher; later
in 1867-68 he was employed as a clerk in a government office
in Washington, D.C. He served two terms in the Illinois leg-
islature, was a Democrat and a Baptist. My mother, Ellen
Jane Finley, was of North Irish descent, born in Philadelphia.
From the age of five I attended Washington School, a
one room country school. In 1898 the family moved to Tupelo,
Mississippi, where I attended an inferior primary school for
thr^e years until the family moved to a farm near Johnston
City, Illinois. In 1907 I graduated from the Johnston City
High School and the same autumn entered as freshman in
Carson-Newman College, Jefferson City, Tenn., where I spent
four valuable years, graduating with the A.B. degree in 1911.
In the summer of that year I was appointed an instructor
in Robert College, Istanbul, Turkey, where I spent three in-
teresting and exciting years.
My wife is a graduate of the American College for Girls
at Istanbul, where she also was a teacher.
Returning to the USA during the first week of the First
World War I spent the next five years studying at Andover
JOHN EDWIN BLACK 279
Theological School and Harvard Divinity School in Cam-
bridge, Mass.
Then in 1919 we went back to Robert College where I
was professor of Latin and Bible as well as being one of the
college preachers. After completing six more years at Robert
College we returned to Cambridge, Mass., on leave for one
year. Then on February 2, 1926 I was appointed president of
the American College of Sofia, Bulgaria, where I spent the
next seventeen years. During these years a new college was
organized and built at a cost of more than $500,000 (now
valued at more than $2,000,000) with a co-educational student
body of above five hundred. The teaching staff of about
fifty instructors was one-third American and two-thirds Bul-
garian. In March 1941 Bulgaria was occupied by the German
army with a pro-Nazi government in office. On December 13,
1941, Bulgaria declared war on the United States. We con-
tinued to operate the college until September, 1942, when it
was seized by the Bulgarian authorities and the American
staff allowed to go to Istanbul, where I was appointed a spe-
cial assistant in the Department of State of the U.S. with
office in the American Consulate. There during the next two
years I wrote more than one thousand dispatches on Bul-
garian politics, economics and social affairs.
On July first, 1944, I became president of Robert College
and the American College for Girls, an office I held until
retirement on July 1, 1955. During these eleven years the
colleges, which had suffered heavy deficits as a result of the
war, were placed on a sound financial basis with nearly all
deficits paid and the endowments increased from about $5,-
000,000 to nearly $8,000,000 market value. In the year 1954-
55 the registration of students was 1,720, including 1,040 boys
and men and 680 girls.
In October, 1955, my wife and I returned to the USA
and located in Arlington, Mass., for we wanted to be in the
vicinity of Boston. I now spend my time lecturing on Turkey
and other Near East topics, do some writing, and am presi-
dent of two public service organizations — the Twentieth Cen-
tury Association of Boston, and the Institute of World Affairs,
chartered in New Hampshire. Each puts on programs on
public questions.

John Potts came from Virginia and settled on land close to
the William Black family in the forests of Ohio. The first winter
