Emma Z. (Smith) Allen is the daughter of James Frederick Smith of Tennessee and Wilhelmina (Chrane) Smith of Denmark. James Frederick and Wilhelmina lived in Chariton County, Missouri. Note: Find A Grave member Nancy Meadows researched Wilhelmina's parents to discover where they lived. The 1876 plat shows land owned by W A Smith (likely Wilhelmina A Smith), just about 1/2 mile north of Musslefork Cemetery. James Frederick likely passed away between 1870 and 1876.
