Not family, but I thought I would have a look around.
In 1900 she's in Union, Jackson, WV, widowed and living with her two sons.She gives her birth date as Nov 1858 and says her father was born in OH, her mother in WV.The family is living next door to Martha GILPIN b. Oct 1840 in WV, widowed, and her two daughters, Mary and Amanda.The father of both the girls was born in OH.
In 1880 there's an Anise GILPIN in Union, Jackson, WV:
GILPIN, Alfred B. age 43 b. OH
wife Martha age 38 b. WV
son Lorenza age 18
son Bernard age 16
dau Anise age 20
son Alonzo age 12
son Wallace age 11
dau Matilda age 8
dau Mary age 4
dau Manda age 2
In 1870 in the same location:
GILPIN, Alfred B. age 33 b. OH
Martha age 29 b. VA
Annis age 11 b. VA
Lorenzo age 9 b. VA
Bernard age 7 b. WV
Forrest age 5 b. WV
Alonzo age 3 b. WV
unnamed male age 4m b. WV
There's a death record for a Mary CRAWFORD b. 23-Dec-1876 in Cottageville, WV, d. 22-Jan-1929 in Marrietta, Washington, OH, wife of James CRAWFORD, daughter of Alfred GILPIN, b. Steubenville, OH,and Martha HERDMAN b. Parkersburg, WV.
There are a couple of user submitted family trees on familysearch that state Alfred's parents were William GILPIN and Mary ANKRUM, but I haven't found records to support that.
