General Notes: Husband - Frederick Black

---

He emigrated to Pennsylvania from Maryland early in 1800's, first to Waynesburg, in Green County, and a year or two after­wards to Beaver Township, Venango (later Clarion) County, PA.

Frederick Black came from Maryland with his family and settled at Canoe Riffle in the edge of Beaver township, Clarion County, PA, in 1815. While here he was killed almost instantly when cutting down a tree. In 1820 Mrs. Black and part of the family moved to the place where Jacob Black would later reside, and there built a dwelling, grist-mill, and saw-mill all of logs. Some of the boys, then married, were left at Canoe Riffle to attend to the carding-machine and saw-mill, which they had built there in the mean time. Mrs. Black in a few years moved to where Paint Creek crossed the pike, and in company with her son, Jacob, built Mary Ann Furnace, so named in honor of the lady who built it.
