I was told this is possibly a Black Widow, I'm very interested to see what others say. It was found in my backyard in a wooden shed, does anyone know what it is??

That is a False Widow. It is related to the black widows, but it is not nearly as toxic.
Yes, this is a False Widow in genus Steatoda of family Theridiidae. It is not dangerous to people.
