The family was living in Northampton, New Jersey in 1860, where Joseph was an attorney; the family had real estate valued at $5,000 and a personal estate of $2,000.

Neither Louisa nor Marian would marry, and from at 1895 through 1920 they lived together in Lambertville, New Jersey, with a single cousin, Caroline. Marian H. Oliphant would pass away on 16 January 1938.
