Mariah Gibson Black was born in 1754 in South Carolina. Around 1785, she along with her sons, John Black, George Gabriel,and daughter, Susan Black in a party including her father, Jordan Gibson, arrived in what was then, Bledsoe's Station, Sumner County, North Carolina. It is believed that her husband, John Black, died enroute. Her father, Jordan, was killed in an Indian attack in 1788. Her daughter, Susan Black eventually married General James Winchester, who built Cragfont.
In a book, “My Mother: A Biography" written by Susan Winchester Scales, daughter of George Washington Winchester and Mallie Gaines, Susan Black Winchester Scales drew a diagram of the Cragfont property in her later years. On it is a note which reads "2 graves in the garden" followed by "Gr Gr Grandmother Black" and "baby Louisa's twin under a willow tree headstone to Gr Gr Grandmother Black, foot high granite".
