James Black was born in 1674 in Cowall, Argyll, Scotland. He is the son of Daniel "Ian" Black (1640-1700) and Faith (Bridges) Black (1640-1721).
James married Eleanor Marion Creig. (Don't know Eleanor's parents' names at this time). James and Eleanor Black were the parents of the following known children: James, Samuel, Anthony, William and John. Four of their sons moved to the USA. Their son, James died in Ireland, but his children and grandchildren immigrated to the USA.
James Black was a wool merchant, and he lived in County Down, Northern Ireland.
James Black died in 1751 in Down, Down, Northern Ireland.
In the book "Fifty New England colonists and five Virginia families". there is a history about the Black family. The race from which the Blacks descended was branch of the Phoenicians. They were well skilled in navigation, arts, sciences and invincible in war. They moved from place to place along the Mediterranean Sea until they settled in Spain, where they remained for a generation or more, then crossed over to Ireland.
They were one of the families derived from the celebrated "House of Heremon". John O'hart's "Irish Pedigrees" gives the history of it. Through one line, they had descended from the "Tribe of Judah"; hence the origin of their coat of arms and use of the Lion in their banners and shields. The name which was of Gaelic origin was Blathmac and from it derived Black or Blake.
From Ireland they moved over to the Isles west of Scotland where they remained many generations. They were called "Scots" because they had descended from a princess called "Scota".
Finally all the country was named Scotland. During the early part of the Sixteenth century when long years of religious wars, persecution and unrest filled all of Scotland, many of her people emigrated to Ireland and among them was the Black family from Edinburgh. They settled at Londonderry, Ireland where they made homes and friends, and their posterity can still be found lingering there. The home farm is now in possession of Rev. Inglis Black, who was in Londonderry, Ireland. He is a Presbyterian minister in Aberdeenshire, Scotland at the time this book was printed.
James Black's son, James died in Ireland, and his son, Thomas settled in Rockbridge County, Virginia, and after Thomss died, his family moved across the Ohio River. James' son John Black came to New Castle, Delaware in 1734 or 35. then to Chester County, Pennsylvania on to Augusta County, Virginia in 1739 and died there in August, 1769. Another son of James Black settled in Pennsylvania, USA and another one of his sons settled in South Carolina. His son, Reverend Samuel Black also settled and died in Virginia.
