Samuel H BLACK from Hempstead Co. Would like to know if there is anyone out there that has any information at all on this person. I hope there is someone that can tell me who his family was and where he came from other than Hempstead Co. Samuel BLACK is shown in Original Land Purchasers Southwest Arkansas Book 1 page 171. Township 12 South Range 25 West with a date of purchase on his property as 1867. I do not have the full book or should I say page 171 so I do not know what it has in it other than what I just gave. I think what I have must be like an index. Any help would be appreciated on this person as his son Henry was at one time married to my ggrandmother. Thanks
