General Notes: Husband - Adam Black

---

It is the recollection of Adam Black, that in a log house formerly occupied by his father, which stood just below where Russell McCandless now re­sides, he (then about five years of age) attended school for the first time. The teacher, Martin Butts, was hired by Robert Black, Stephen Williams, Obadiah Edmonds and David Christy. Butts was paid about $100 for the time. Another early schoolhouse, which was also built of logs, stood at the end of Henry Thompson's lane, and in this building Joseph Porter, Wilson Potts and Catharine McClosky were early teachers.
