Emma A. Smith (1850-1946) was a genealogist and the final executor of the Samuel J. Tilden estate. The collection contains her notes and correspondence relating to genealogical research into the Nathaniel Tilden family of Scituate, Massachusetts, and other allied New England families including the Tuthill, Wheadon, and Youngs families. Although Samuel J. Tilden was a direct descendant of Nathaniel Tilden, this collection contains no genealogical material relating to him. Smith's genealogical research into the family of Samuel J. Tilden is present in the Samuel J. Tilden papers
