John Black settled in Bordeaux in 1699, bought houses, lands, and vineyards and remained there until 1756, when he returned to Blamont North (Ballintaggart), Co. Armagh. His grandfather John Black (1647\'961726) was a merchant in Belfast, married to Jane Eccles, whose brother, Sir John Eccles, had been lord mayor of Dublin and had a street named after him. Two of his brothers, George and Samuel Black, were each mayor of Belfast several times."
