The son of John & Dorothy Elizabeth (Brown) Black, in 1860 he was an apprentice living with and/or working for master shoemaker Mitchel J. Weaver in Lancaster, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He stood 5' 5" tall and had black hair and black eyes.
A Civil War veteran, he served two terms of service:
1. Enlisted at the stated age of nineteen at Camp Wayne in West Chester, Chester County, June 4, 1861, mustered into federal service at Camp Carroll in Baltimore, Maryland, July 26 as a private with Co. E, 1st Pennsylvania Reserves (30th Pennsylvania Infantry), and honorably discharged at term's end June 13, 1864. His obituary in the Lancaster Examiner erroneously claims he served with the 1st Pennsylvania Infantry.
2. Enlisted at the stated age of twenty-one as a substitute for conscript Cornelius F. Roland, mustered into federal service at Lancaster August 23, 1864, as a private with Co. C, 28th Pennsylvania Infantry, and honorably discharged with his company May 23, 1865. He is found in the company register in Co. C, but his pension index claims he had been unassigned.
There are unconfirmed reports that he married Mary Wertz and fathered Atlee W. (b. 10/21/68) and John Mathew (b. 11/16/71). Mary's status is as yet unknown (if she existed), and he married Louisa Bradycamp, fathering the children you see linked below.
He died at his home from "paralysis of heart."
