Marshall - Extended Family

Jane Marshall
 (Jul 6, 1830 in OH - May 16, 1881 in Miami, OH)

Married John Wesley Bright (1830 - Sep 11, 1863) on Jun 26, 1851

John died at the Ft. Delaware Prison camp in 1863.  He had enlisted in the 44th Georgia Infantry, Co. E.

CENSUS RECORDS
Jane appears on the 1850 Miami, Ohio Census age 14 along with sisters Rachael (18), Mary (18), Sarah (20) and brother Sampson (16).  Since a lot of siblings are together it's most likely that the "Sarah" listed is Jane and "Jane" is probably Charity according to notes by Ron Toops.  Also on the census is 51 year old "Mary Brooks" who first makes an appearance and who may be an aunt/guardian.
Jane appears on the 1860 Randolph, Indiana Census age 29 and living with her 4 children and 62 year old "Mary Brooks."
Jane also appears on the 1860 Miami, Ohio Census age 30 and living with her 4 children and 62 year old "Mary Brooks."  She apparently moved the same year.  Sister Sarah and family were living next door according to the census.
Jane appears on the 1870 Miami, Ohio Census age 40 and living with John Bright (?), age 40 and 3 children.  This John Bright shows a birthplace of England and age 40.  Did she remarry (or is living with) someone with the same name, or is John a relative of her late husband and spelled wrong on the census?
Jane appears on the 1880 Miami, Ohio Census age 49, widowed and living with her 36 year old brother-in-law James Bright.  She died the next year, age 50.
