After her husband's death in 1857, Jane Ann was listed in the Hobart household of her stepson Henry M. Rich in 1860, and in 1870 census appears to be listed incorrectly as Jane Peters in the household of her daughter Hannah. Jane died on 06 Sep 1876.

At the age of about twenty-eight, James married Roxy Bunnell who was born in New York in about 1822, and is believed to be the daughter of Virgil Bunnell and Frances (Blish).

He continued to reside in his Uncle Stephen Rich's household where he was enumerated in 1860, and a year after the death of his aunt Jane (Oliver) in 1868, he and his cousin Sarah were married.

A Republican and "thoroughly good citizen," Stephen was enumerated with his wife in Stamford Twp. in 1870 and 1880. He died on 06 Jul 1884, and his widow on 29 Dec 1906.

Her father died in 1857 and she continued to reside with her step-mother in 1860, but by 1870 she was living in New York City with what appears to be an Elizabeth Shields, age 74 and looks to have been employed as sewing machine operator. In 1880 Ann is listed in the Bloomingdale Asylum as age forty-nine. She died on 07 Oct 1889 at the age of fifty-seven years, seven months and thirteen days.

Jane never married and in 1870 resided with her sister Mary Struthers in New York City on 28th St. between Madison and 4th Avenue, but when Mary moved to Jersey City in Hudson Co., New Jersey Jane remained in New York and was located in the 1880 Manhattan household of her sister Elizabeth Rintoul, wife of James who was a railroad auditor. In 1900, the last census in which she was enumerated, Jane had returned to Delaware Co., New York and was living with her sister Mary, widow of Stephen Rich.

Jane died on 29 Nov 1907 at the age of eighty-six years, nine months, and seven days. A photograph of her as well as her mother Jane and sister Mary Struthers, can be seen in the on-line album of her cousin Hannah (Rich), wife of William B. Peters.
