His father was William Black, also a native of Virginia. His mother's maiden name was Mary Price, and she was of the well-known Price family of the Old Dominion. On the 26th of January, 1830, Samuel Black, the subject of this sketch, was married in Monroe county, West Virginia, to Miss Margaret M. Lynch, born in that county on the 15th of May, 1806. Her parents were John Lynch, originally from Ireland, and his wife, formerly a Miss Mary Best. In 1839 Samuel Black and wife removed to Missouri and settled in Callaway county. They located here on a small tract of land in the open prairie which he had entered, on which he improved a farm. He was a man of untiring industry and a good manager, so that he prospered in his new home and soon had a fine farm of 440 acres, all well improved. He also owned a few slaves. He was a man of an unpretending, domestic disposition, and had no desire for notoriety or prominence. He therefore lived a retired, quiet life, with no enemies and the friendship of all who knew him. He died on the 23d of October, 1881, in his seventy-eighth year. His widow, a motherly, gentle-hearted old lady, esteemed by all, still survives him, but she has been paralyzed for sixteen years. They reared a family of seven children: Mary, now Mrs. Moses McClintick; William, of this county; John, at home; Lizzie J., now Mrs. James Holman, of Audrain county; Hugh L., died at the age of sixteen in 1860; Samuel K., of this county, and Oscar. Isabel died in early childhood; John and Oscar are carrying on the farm, and are devoting it to stock raising exclusively, having a large herd of cattle and a fine flock of sheep. John, who was born February 10, 1837, in West Virginia, was old enough for military service when the war broke out. He joined Capt. Hamilton's company of the State Guard in 1861, Southern service, and was in the battles of Boonville and Lexington. After his six months' term was out in the State Guard he drove a team to Texas, and returning as far as Smithton, Arkansas, joined the regular Confederate army there, entering Colonel Wood's Cavalry regiment. He subsequently participated in the battles of Jenkin's Ferry, Dardenville, and numerous other engagements. He was captured in Kansas in 1864 while with General Marmaduke, and was held a prisoner about five months. He was then sent to the South for exchange, and was on parole at the time of the general surrender. Neither he nor his brother are married. Both are members of the Presbyterian church, as is also their mother.
