Black born 4/14/1830 in Floyd county, IN. However, I don't have the same marriages that you have. Instead, I have: 1) m. Margaret Ann Bell in 1851 in IN 2) m. Sarah E. Linsey 7/14/1875 in Humboldt,Allen,KS 3) m. Dorcus Elizabeth Brady 4/14/1877 in Humboldt,Allen,KS I believe his parents were William Black and Harriet Amanda Clark (which makes sense ofyour guess that his middle name is Clark) Another genealogist recently told me that "he died 10 July 1883 on the farm in/near Salem, Allen Co., KS. I am told that information regarding his service in the Civil War is noted on his gravemarker.. not certain of which cemetery. He served in Battery "H", Second Light Artillery, IL Volunteers, 1 Jan 1862 - 29 July 1865" Sounds like we definately have the same guy - what sources are you using for your information?
