His widow, Mary Ann Tyson, nee Bodine, under the Act of 14 July 1862, applied for a widow's pension and provided evidence showing her marriage on 15 Sept 1856 in Philadelphia by Rev. B. Griffith and that she bore one child, Laura M. Tyson, on 14 Sept 1857. Her claim was approved 19 Sept 1863 to be effective 17 Sept 1862 at the rate of $8 per month, plus $2.00 per month for their daughter until she reached the age of 16. On 24 Sept 1866, Elizabeth Bodine of 614 Tamarind St., Philadelphia, gave a deposition in support of the continuing pension for Mary Ann Tyson.
