    I find Mary Ann and her children in the 1870 census after Reuben has died.  Several families of Loughridges and Keiths live near each other in Murray and other Georgia counties in the mid-1880s.  In 1870 Benjamin and Lucinda are in Murray County, the 1013th Georgia Militia District, near Keiths and Terrys and other related families.  Mary Ann is a widowed head of household living 3 houses down from her parents.
