Surnames: BLACK, DUFT Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/CFB.2ACI/294.2.5 Message Board Post: Hi, I saw your wonderful offer to do lookups in the 1850 Carroll Co., MD Census. I am hoping you will have time to see if you can find a family by the surname of "BLACK" that has a daughter (age 5 to 14 years of age---most likely about age 11) in the household. I don't know the parent's names, but the daughter's name is Susannah Rebecca Black. As you probably already know, the name Susannah may be spelled different ways, or may be Sally, Susan, Sarah. I have found Susannah middle initial as "E", instead of "R". She is my great-grandmother, & I've been trying to find her parents for about 20 years. I'm hoping you, or someone else reading this may be able to help me. On 4 May 1860, she married Martin Fredrick DUFT---the newspaper notice said they were of Uniontown at the time of her marriage. Some sources gives her birthplace as MD, & others gives it as PA. Hoping for a miracle, Donna Carnall
