  • Notes 
    • (daughter of
      Robert Asbury Black
      and
      Susanna Shaw)

      marriage1:
      to Stephen C Gray
      on 12 Sep 1872
      He died 12 Sep 1873

      marriage2:
      to Gilbert DeWitt
      on 12 Jul 1875 Granby, Missouri

      children:

      2 infants who died at birth
      (one a son and
      other unknown gender)

      Rosetta DeWitt
      1877 ? before 1900

      Lucy DeWitt
      1886 ? 1886
      (See link below.)

      At the time of her death she was listed as age 73 years which would place her birth year as 1853. However she was listed with her family in the 1850 census at age 2 so her birth year appears to have been 1848. That would put her age at death as 78.

      Her death certificate had no indication of her parents or her birthplace.
      She died from arteriosclerosis with contributing factor of Huntington's Chorea.

      It appears that she died in the State Hospital at Nevada, Missouri.
