From "The Minteers As I Have Known Them" by Josephine Minteer Dickinson (1961 limited-edition private printing of 200 copies), youngest and last surviving of William Minteer and Mary Nicholson's 85 grandchildren:

"Aunt Nellie married John Smith, a brother or cousin of William and Abraham. She was left a widow early during the Civil War. She lived on a farm between Slate Lick and Worthington."
-----------------------
In 1820 and 1830 the Minteer farm where she lived with her parents and siblings was in Buffalo Township in Armstrong County, PA. By 1840 the population had increased sufficiently that that the northern part of Buffalo Township had become Franklin Township, so the farm had a new address.

In 1850 she and her husband and their three children lived on a farm in North Buffalo Township, Armstrong County, PA. John owned real estate valued at $300.

In 1860 she and John and their four children lived there on the same farm. John's real estate was valued at $3000 and his personal property at $730.

In 1870 she, Alfred, and Matilda still lived there.

In 1880 she lived with her son Alfred, his wife Gussie, and their son Howard in South Buffalo Township, Armstrong County, PA. Alfred worked as a carpenter and her occupation was shown as Nurse. In that census she stated that her father was born in PA and her mother in Ireland.
