It's a conundrum. Either the name is too complex and/or unique that you can't find them in databases, or you are forced to search for a name like Mary Smith. Even her husband Israel Smith is more common than I would like to see.
I found the family in 1860 In Chautauqua county, New York. I found Israel with one of his daughters in 1865. No Mary. Nothing for either of them on Find-a-Grave.
I did find an index giving a death date to an Israel Smith in Hanover, New York for May 15, 1891. It could be him.
Way too many hits on these names. Sigh.
