Resided: From the Affadavit of Daniel P. Emberton when his mother, Angeline Emberton, was applying for a Mother's pension from her son, Sanderson D. Emberton's Civil War service:

"I was living in Hart County, Kentucky in 1882 and 1883, and Sanford(?) D. Emberton came to my house in the latter part of 1882 on a visit, and was sick at the time he staid with me until his death which occured February 12, 1883 and was buried from my house. I know of this being his brother and having nursed him through his sickness up to his death while at my house. And I am in no other way concerned in the prosecution of this claim more than that the applicant is my mother."
