Henry Black & Susanna Carey/Cary were married 5 June 1834 in Monday Creek Twp. and most of their 10 (or 11) children were born in Perry Co according to information given to me by my uncle who researched the family a number of years back. Unfortunately what he gave me included very few sources for the information he had gathered. I have managed to trace the family forward to verify that the list of children he gave me is valid (though I'm lacking sources for the birthdates he provided) with the exception of Mary Jane who lived for such a short time. I'm posting info on all the family as I have it in case there are others researching this family who might find the information useful, and hoping someone can tell me if there are birth records available for the time frame indicated and if so how I could go about getting access to those records. This is what I have on the family make-up: Henry Black b abt 1809, PA, d 29 Jan 1879, Ada, Hardin, OH; m 5 June 1834, Monday Creek Twp, Perry, OH, Susanna Carey/Cary, b abt 1815, Sussex Co, DE, d 21 June 1892, Ada, Hadin, OH.
