John and Mary Black and their three young children arrived at Port Chalmers in July 1861.  They were among the first white settlers and first they settled at Moeraki.  They had a family of 11 and many of these immigrants had come from Scotland to seek religious freedom.
The family originally came from Clan Lamont and that 200/300 years ago they had settled along the waters of the Breich between Edinburgh and Glasgow.  Two of the Blacks had been buried in the churchyard at Whitburn in 1747 and 1767.
The Blacks were a farming family and it is no mistake that most of the family took up the love.  Some of the family that were a renunion remembering their past generation was Mr Jim Murray (Milton), Mr Ross Burnett (Dacre), Mrs Freda Cowan (Palmerston), Mr Allan Black (Waiauna), Mr John Black (Oamaru), Mr Bill Black (Lawrence), Mr Cochran Black (Palmerston), Mrs Vernice Jones (Gore), Mr Allan Black (Invercargill),
