#GENEALOGY HIVE MIND: I need some assistance.

I'm working for a client who seeks proof of Mayflower descendancy. We're stuck on Annis Emma Neff (b 1826 in Lake, Ohio, United States, m 1847 to Paschal Harrington, death unknown). Her FSID is KHBC-9YH. I've exhausted all possible documents online. 1/5
