  Marriage	9 Apr 1853	prob New York
  	The 1910 census lists Matthew and Sarah as having been married for 47 years. That they married in New York is based on the 1860 census listing daughter Margaret age 5 and born in New York. Their tombstones at Wilsey Cemetery in Olive Twp, Clinton MI do not list their death dates - transcription of the Wilsey Cemetery by Wayne C. Summers and online through the DeWitt Public Library's website at: http://www.dewittlibrary.com/cemetery/Cemetery.htm. 'Marriages, Clinton County, Michigan 1901-1940', Abstracted and Compiled by the Genealogists of the Clinton County Historical Society (website: http://www.dewittlibrary.com/CCHS/) lists a 15 Dec 1910 article in the Clinton Republican, on page 3, column 4, lists the marriage date for Matthew and Sarah (Morgan) Black as 09 Apr 1853. Given the date of publication the article may be Matthew Black's obituary.
