Leta, Hi I see u too are working on the Black/Canode line. I have been working on this
line for the last few years. My half brother is the son of William Jesse James Black.,
Do you know anything about the parentage of Walters father Charles E.Black? I talk to
Nancy Canode every now and then, and she says she thinks Charles had a brother John who
may have been abt. 10 years oder than he. She says she remembered him catching a train to
I believe Eagle Rock to visit him. John was suppose to have worked for the railroad. I
have yet to find him though. Also I do know that Charles was living with a James and
Martha Eakin in the 1870 census. There isnt another Black in that Dist. where Charles is.
I have been told that that Eakin family raised him. Wonder if they were somehow related
to the Blacks? And what happened to his parents? Anyway a big mystery that I would just
love to solve.
