G2G: Finding documentation for Elizabeth Slocum Kinney

Question

I just created Elizabeth Slocum Kinney based on what I found in my mother's database and the Find-A-Grave record through Family Search. My mother's database shows she was wife to Mason Kinney:

And daughter of Isaac Slocum:

Huron County, Ohio is close to Lake Erie. Strongs Ridge Cemetery is probably located on a prehistoric shoreline of Lake Erie.
