I think you have her here as the religion matches her census in 1851 as Congregational. She also matches on year of birth 1805. She is widowed in this census.

It’s now unraveling. The Horatio head of house that widow Susanna is living with is her grandson! Correction her son 

I’m not sure how but he ended up in Washington state! See his FindAGrave. A civil war vet. Birth location matches

MILLS, HORATIO.—Age, 26 years. Enlisted, October 11, 1861, at Minerva, to serve three years; mustered in as private, Co. C, November 20, 1861; re-enlistedi as a veteran, December 20, 1863; wounded and captured in action, October 27, 1861, at Boydton Plank Road, V a . ; paroled, February 17, 1865; mus- tered out with detachment, M a y 30, 1865, near Washington, D.C.

This their daughter? "Massachusetts State Vital Records, 1841-1920," database with images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:23T8-P1P : 22 October 2019), Susan Gibbs in entry for Sarepta Patchin, 10 Mar 1919; citing Death, Concord, Middlesex, Massachusetts, United States, certificate number 41, page 309, State Archives, Boston.
