I am researching the family of David and Martha Black from Donegal who moved to Pennsylvania due to the potatoe famine in 1845. David and Martha were born in 1798. Martha's maiden name was Cheatley. They lived in an area called Trenta just north of Letterkenny. David and Martha had 7 children whose names were as follows;
John born 1824, Alexander born 1826, Ann Jane born 1829, Elizabeth born 1832, Sarah born 1836, David born 1839 and Matilda born 1842.
The family first lived in the Cass township Pottsville area and eventually settled in Centralia Pa. I have tracked down all living relatives of 5 of these children. The two childrens families that are yet to be found are John Black born in 1824 and Ann Jane born in 1829. Thier offspring would have come from the Schuylkill County Pennsylvania area. Any help in finding them is appreciated
