John Black

Notes:

John Black lived and died in Raccoon Valley (now Tuscarora Township, Perry
County); he was "a very highly esteemed, pious man."

On 28 October 1828 John Mateer and James Dunlap as Trustees for William Mateer
of Allen Township, Cumberland County, because the said William Mateer is an
"habitual drunkard," and Rebecca Mateer, "who is one of the daughters and legal
representatives of John Black, late of Juniata Township, Perry County,
Pennsylvania, also the wife of the aforesaid William Mateer", for $267.10,
released to Samuel Black of Juniata Township, all rights the said William
Mateer and wife Rebecca may have under intestate law in the estate of John
Black deceased; this quitclaim related to land devised by the will of John
Black to his son Thomas Black, "but now since Thomas did not survive his
father" that part of John's estate is settled by intestate law. Witnesses:
Robert Mateer, Andrew Mateer. According to this deed John Black's will was
probated at "Bloomfield", but no date or will book reference is indicated, and
present Perry County records show no such estate either in the old books or in
original documents.
