I found in 1855 NY State Census that William Black and Margaret
Mitchell were married 1 year, he answered that he resided in the Town
of Kortright 1 year and was a naturalized citizen and she had stated
that she had resided in the town 2 years and was an alien. They
showed that they lived in a plank structure and had one daughter
Elizabeth less than a year old.

(1) William Black,b Ireland 1821 d. Jefferson,NY 1912, Married 1854
& Margaret Mitchell b. Ireland 1821 d. Kortright, NY 1894, both buried in
Gilchrist Cemetery, Kortright Center, NY

(2) Elizabeth b. 1854
(2) Jane Ann (Jennie) b.1858 Kortright d.13 April 18 Jefferson, NY
Buried Riverside Cemetery, Oneonta
& Legrand Smith b.2 Jan 1858 d.27 June 1927 Married 24 Feb. 1886 in
Kortright, NY
(2) Sarah Agnes b.1860
Jennie (Black) Smith and Legrand Smith were my great grand parents.
It appears that I now need to look at Ireland to New York ship
passenger lists and emigration lists for around 1849, for he became a
naturalized citizen in 1849 and I have to go back and look at land
records for 1850+.
