aged 38y,4m,2d∼From the 1883 History of Marion County, Ohio:
"In the following year (1827), Henry May and family came here from Franklin County, Ohio, and located where John A. May now resides. Mr. May at once opened a public house. This inn, whose place and public character were designated by the picture of a black horse, became quite a popular stopping place, and so continued until about 1854. Henry May died in 1838."
The Black Horse Inn was located in present-day Brush Ridge, Marion County, Ohio along the Harrison War Road. Today, that road is State Route 423, and the Black Horse Inn was located on the north side of the Primitive Baptist Church. Its ruins were torn down in 1917.
