Her daughter Fanny and her husband George Moore live at 1458/1458.
In 1860 Ann C. Grinstead (64, Housewifing, Penn) is living in the household of George Moore, who is married to Fanny B. Grinstead, a daughter of John Thompson and Catharine Grinstead. Presumably Ann C. and Catharine are the same person.
DEATH:
John T. Grinstead is in the mortality schedule of the 1850 census for Jennings Co., Indiana, Campbell Township. He died in February after being ill for 6 days. He was married, born in Virginia, and 60 years old. The facsimile copy of the mortality schedule is easily readable and clearly shows his age to be 60. The "Housier Journal of Ancestry, Jennings Co." mistakenly reports his age to be 50.

The number in parentheses in the last column is the age of the person in 1850. Brackets indicate that the person died before 1850, and the number is how old he would be if he were still alive. The numbers is previous columns represent real ages to be compared with the age categories that appear in the census. An 'x' after the age indicates that the person no longer lives in the household of his parents.
John T. died in 1850. I cannot find George T. in 1840 and in 1850. I find him in 1860. I find John M. only once, in 1860. There is no marriage record for Mildred, so it is impossible to find her in the census. Her age in 1850 is just a guess.
