She was the granddaughter of Joseph B. Ralston and Eleanor Smith Ralston of Brown County, Ohio.
She was the great-granddaughter of Christian Smith and Elizabeth McDuffy (McDuffie) of Brown County, Ohio.
After her death, her husband Amos Punneo relocated and is buried in Montgomery County, Kansas.
This Ralston family was known as Scot-Irish, although they were not Irish at all. The family, staunch Presbyterians living in Scotland, was forced by the English King James to relocate to Ireland to develop the Protestant religion in Ireland and to counter the Roman Catholic uprisings in Ireland. These forcibly relocated Scots, including the Ralstons, were then the victims of violent religious persecution from both the Roman Catholic Irish and by the English, who wanted to force their Church of England religion on them. For this reason, they emigrated to America in the 1700's, first settling in Pennsylvania, where they hoped William Penn would be tolerant of their Presbyterian religion.
