I do not know who the parents of Absalom Black were.I believe he was born between 1780-1790 in Rome, Floyd, Georgia.He was married to Mary Gaines Brown, daughter of John and Mildred who were in Baldwin Co., Ga. She died in 1886 in Tallapoosa Co., Alabama. In the 1850 census she was living in the home of William Ledbetter.
Their children were:
1)Cassandra Spraggins Black who was b 1813 in Baldwin, Married Wm Ledbetter in Baldwin, moved to Alabama, then to Mississippi and died 1883 in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana.
2)Euphemia Black b 1820 in Baldwin, married John Colbert Simms and resided in Coweta, GA.She died around 1863 I think.
3)Adecia Black b 1815-1835 Baldwin, GA
4)Augustus Black b 1815-1835 Georgia
5)UNKNOWN FEMALE
Perhaps this sheds some light on this family.
