I am wondering if either of you know where or what - happened to the daughter Nelly {Elender/Ellen} Johnston Smith? She was the wife of my Hugh Smith. The last I knew they were in the 1850 census of Polk County, Mo, and they had his daughter Martha {from a previous marriage}, and their son James living with them. I cannot locate them anywhere. Hugh Smith, son of James H. and Prudence {McGee} Smith was born abt 1821 in Mercer County, Kentucky. Any help or clues are appreciated in helping find these "lost" ancestors. Judy Smith/Colorado
