Following the end of the war in 1865, Henry and Margaret’s oldest child, Sarah, married Henry Sellman Anderson in October of 1867. Sellman would later serve as sheriff of Anne Arundel County from 18811883. The Tydings’ oldest son, Henry, went on to become an orphan’s court judge. His younger brother, Oliver, who was probably born at Goshen Farm, moved to Chicago and became a dentist. Emma, the youngest of the Tydings children and also likely born at the farm, married Oscar Dulaney. He was a boat pilot and he and Emma spent their years moving about the country. Following Margaret’s death in October of 1873, Henry went on to marry Eleanor Jean Foreman. Their daughter, Mary Linsid Tydings, married Charles Carroll Brice 2nd.
