Initially the family stayed in Ohio but by 1870, they were in Shelby County, Illinois with two children David (1863-1910) and Phoebe (1864-1951). They only stayed in Illinois until about 1875. By this time two more children had blessed the Wolfe household: Lydia (1872-1941) and Alice (1875-1959). Moving farther west, the family ended up in Washington County, Kansas by March 1885. Nancy is listed as a "widow"; this was common in those days when a married woman was without a husband. William did not actually pass away until 1901! William was living on the southern border of Kansas and Oklahoma; while Nancy was living on the northeastern border of Kansas and Missouri.
By 1922, Nancy is living in Leavenworth, Kansas. While never located together, her daughter Alice "Allie" Hittle was also living in Leavenworth.
**The actual death and place of burial of Powers is unknown.
