I think Tabitha Dodson Black was married to Robert's brother Alexander. According to Natalie K. Black of Pioneer Preacher fame, Robert's first wife was named Tabitha, but no last name. His second wife was named Prudence no last name. Natalie attributes her information to a family bible of James W. Black of Lynnville, TN.

Robert and Alexander came to Giles County around 1897. Many settlers came from the part of Tennessee that was once Virginia and North Carolina. There were at least 3 men named John Black in Giles County, TN. John Black who died in 1815, his son John Henry Black, and the John Black named in the Will of Robert Black.

Abstract of the Will of Robert Black names children John, Manervia, Jerome, Aseanath Hale and Ann Elizabeth Allen. I think this Robert Black married Lucy Gill in Caswell County, North Carolina in 1792. There were three men named John Black prior to 1815 in Giles County, Tennessee. John Black who died 1815, his son John Henry Black whom he made a gift deed to, and John Black son of Robert Black named in his Will. There were also two men named Robert Black.
A History of Giles County, Tennessee states Robert Black came to Giles County about 1807. Many settlers were from the part of northeast Tennessee that was chipped up multiple times. There is a deed in Greene County, Tennessee, dated 1809 for the land where Robert Black formerly lived. In the earliest days, that part of Tennessee was part of Washington County, North Carolina prior to the boundary changes. The land deeds were primarily entered at the Courthouse in Morganton, Morgan District, Burke County, North Carolina. Boundary changes in that section of North Carolina make it possible that the Robert Black who obtained that land was the same man who married Lucy Gill. Furthermore, I believe the John Black named in the Will of Robert Black was the John Black who was born 1793, and would have been the first born child of the Robert Black that married Lucy Gill given the date of their marriage. John Black who married Helen Tarpley was born 1819, so too young to be the John Black named in the gift deed of the older John Black and too young to be a first born son of Robert Black who would have logically married more than 30 years before that John Black was born based on his known age.
We know there were unaccounted for children given the Census records for both Robert Black of Giles County, Tennessee. There is an Alexander Black also of Limestone County, Alabama, just to the south of Giles County. That John Black signed a petition regarding the Sims Settlement in 1810. Alexander Black purchased land in Limestone County, Alabama by 1825. I think these could be children from a first marriage. A direct line male of this line, which is documented, also has Gill DNA matches at the 4th to 6th cousin level that are not explained given the rest of his documented tree. I would very much like to get in touch with others to compare DNA results.
