My Great-Grandmother, Mary Ann Houseworth married her cousin Nelson S. Houseworth, the son of Solomon and Melinda. Solomon was the oldest brother of Frederick. Mary Ann spent the last months of her life trying to get a small ($10 a month) Civil War Pension from the Government, for herself and her youngest son Alva Newton Houseworth. Those efforts failed and she passed away a short time later.
Mary Ann was born in Delaware County, Ohio, in 1841, she died on September 8, 1896. Her last known residence was Tipton, Ohio, located in Paulding County. I do not however, have an exact location of her death.
