Biography
Matthew Black, was an early surveyor in Licking County, Ohio. Matthew built one of the first grist and saw mills in the early 1800's on the South Fork of the Licking River, in Union Township, Licking County, Ohio.
He devoted most of his life to working at "Black's Mills", engaging in the lumber business and farming in Union Township, Licking County, Ohio.
When Matthew arrived in this area it was thickly covered in forests. The family persevered in clearing the forests and readying the land for cultivation.
The family land is still owned and farmed by the family today. [1]

John Black (1780-1827)
John and Matthew's father owned "Black's Tavern" it was the first log cabin built by James Black in Newark in 1802 and was on lot 80, on the east side of the square in Newark, Ohio.
