Peter Black was born Jepthal Peterson Black March 19th, 1852 in Shannon County, Missouri to Pinckney and Elvira "Randolph" Black. He was raised on his parents farm on Big Creek near the settlement of Rat, MO.
Peter's father died when Peter was nine years old and his mother when he was twenty. He married Mary Ellen Miner Jan 7, 1872 and the couple would have thirteen children, nine living to adulthood. They removed from Shannon County in the early years to Jefferson County, Missouri.
About 1884 they followed Mary's eldest brother Mack Miner to Scott County Arkansas. Peter's brother Lee Black joined them a few years later. The family was engaged in lumbering and farming in the heavily forested shallow mountain area.
With twenty-three years residence in Arkansas, Peter and Mary and several of their married children moved west into Oklahoma. It was about 1907 when they settled near Courtney in an area that would later be known as Belleville.
The couple were separated about 1914 and Peter left the area to places unknown. He returned in 1920, reconciled, and he and Mary were remarried. They lived together until Mary's death in 1924. Peter died Feb 23, 1927 three weeks before his 75th birthday.
It was said that Peter was a tall slender man with a mustache, an educated gentleman.
