Charles H. died between 1886 and 1892, as Ellen is listed as a widow in the 1892 Biddeford Directory.
Also living in Biddeford in 1880 were Artemas, Augustus and Daniel Foss, all brothers of Charles. See below:

In 1860 several of the children living in Standish but with another couple- perhaps relatives:

Mary Libby age 58
2 Libby daughters

Amanda I- age 17 ( was Irene A in 1850)

By 1870 Lucinda had died and it appears that Job had married a Dorcas.
Still living with him were:

Lucinda- age 14
In 1880 in Standish.

Charles H. Foss married Ellen M. Sawyer 5 Oct 1873 in Biddeford.
Ebenezer Foss was born 18 Jan 1785 in Lymington York, ME
died 20 August 1855 in Standish, ME
Buried in Small cemetery on his farm York Hill, River Rd. South Standish, ME.
He was the son of Job Foss and Eunice Chick.
The latter information comes from research done by a Richard Colbath. No sources given but perhaps a road trip in the summer to the Cemetery, if possible, might be interesting.
Ellen's family information could also be given, but perhaps this is a start.
