There is a lot of confusion about the death date of Jacob Black. He was honored as a Black Hawk War veteran at Florey Cemetery in Illinois. He was indeed a veteran of the Black Hawk War and there is a stone at Florey Cemetery with his name on it that is propped against a tree and appears to have never been set in place. The death date given was 21 May, 1852. This is the death date of Jacob's brother Abraham Black who was also a veteran of the Black Hawk War and buried at Mount Zion Presbyterian Cemetery Macon County, Illinois, USA. Jacob Black appears in 1870 U.S. census and died 1876 living Long Creek Township, Macon Co. Il.
