Samuel married two additional times after Elizabeth died - first to Maria Shanks and then to Edith Saulmon.

While Bishop married at least two times, neither marriage lasted and no children were born.

Finley removed to Washington and was later found murdered:  A transcript from "Cases Decided by the Supreme Court of Washington:
On 4 May 1897 the purchaser of what had been an unoccupied farm, known as the "Old Bradley Place", on Whidbey Island, Island Co., Washington discovered a human skeleton at the bottom of a well. There were some personal effects with the remains, including a bank book belonging to Finley Garrison, who had disappeared about three years before. The skull had been fractured by a blunt instrument. The deceased had come to the island in the company of one Walter H. Ebving, whom he had met in Seattle and who had promised him employment clearing land on the island. Garrison was known to have had a sum of money on his person. People on the island had noticed the arrival of the newcomers and when they inquired of Ebving what happened to Garrison he had replied that he left the island to get supplies. Afterwards, Ebving himself disappeared and was later discovered living under the false name of Harry McNabb. He was tried and found guilty of second degree murder and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment.

Ola did seem to marry but was in a sanitarium in 1910 and died there in 1911.
