	Henry Black, farmer, was born in Fluvanna County, Va., December 9, 
1819.  His parents, Burrell and Kittie (Johnson) Black were natives of 
Virginia.  They went to Oldham County, Ky., in 1829, and there remained on 
their farm until they died in 1837 and 1840, respectively.  The father was also 
engaged as a millwright and a wagon-maker.  He and Thomas Jefferson were boys 
together, and were acquainted.  Our Subject was educated in Oldham County, and 
came to Clark County in 1841, and here married and settled on his present 
farm.  His wife, Malinda, is a daughter of Hezekiah and Frances (Ford) Foree, 
and was born April 22, 1822, in Oldham County, Ky.  She came with her parents

his farm from a wilderness into one of the best estates in the county.  It 
embraces 475 acres, well improved and cultivated.  Our subject first voted for
