The "Black Plague" in Europe was Bubonic Plague. Bubonic plague is present in North America, but has never caused a major disease outbreak. Campgrounds in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California are occasionally closed because of plague, which is carried by rats and fleas.
The biggest disease outbreaks in North America were smallpox and influenza.

There really is not data to determine whether the black plague reached North American in the 15th, 16th and even the 17th century. If no records were were being kept in early colonies as Virginia in 1607 when new arrivals were dying (up 65% to 70%) is not as straight forward as simply saying it never reached North American shores. Nor does this time allow for any predictions on what any diseases, particularly the black plague, was doing or would have done to these populations. Not enough information to one way or the other. Based purely on the Black plague ability to kill I think it did cross with the poorest of the poor, the indentured servants.
