Note by HNS notes for Mary Emeline SMITH
Pension application said she was born in Harlin County, Ohio. HSN (1/3/1984) now believes it was Harlan Co., Kentucky. Addendum of 24 Jan 2013 by BGW: more likely, Harlan Township, Warren County, Ohio.
Burrton Woodruff III notes for Mary Emeline SMITH
Sep 2005: Looking at the locations of relatives, etc. I think it more likely she was born in Hardin County, Ohio. Which is near Mercer County. Or, pehaps she was born in Hardin, Ohio, which is not terribly far from Highland County where she was married.

HNS Narrative notes for Mary Emeline SMITH
MARY EMELINE SMITH BENTLEY was born 16-Oct-1839 in Ohio. Her Pension application said, Harlan, Ohio. I have found nothing. She received $30. month pension. She had one brother that I know a- AL SMITH (TOOT). He lived in a little house behind Emeline's and operated a dray wagon. She passed away at 9:30 on the morning of January 26, 1923 at her home. She is buried in Highland Cemetery in Section 4-Lot 123-Grave 4. Burrton II recalls that when she came to Tonkawa, Oklahoma. to visit them, It was a great day. The children could hardly wait until they could get home from the train station and see what Surprises she would have in her suitcase. He remembers her as something special.
