Their daughter Johanna had stayed at home and she was adopted by her uncle Ludwig, the new Grandduke. Ludwig and Margaret didn't have any children of their own and Johanna died from meningitis a little more than a year after her family had died.

of Hesse and by Rhine

What's the deal with the name of this house? Specifically ... why by Rhine rather than of?

Because the Grand Duchy of Hesse, unlike Electoral Hesse, included lands that were actually “by the Rhine,” running along both of its banks. The family did not pretend to be princes OF the Rhine, as it had always been a commercial waterway shared by many states.

Until a war in the 1860s this Grand Duchy contained land that was actually near the Rhine.

From Wiki

The portion of the Grand Duchy on the right bank of the Rhine stretched most of the way from the south of the modern state of Hesse to Frankenberg. The portion on the left bank was located in the modern state of Rhineland-Palatinate. In addition to the great floodplains of the Rhine (Hessian Ried), Main, and Wetterau, the Grand Duchy also contained upland regions like the Vogelsberg, the Hessian Hinterland, and the Odenwald. In the south, the exclaves of the Wimpfen district [de] extended into the Grand Duchy of Baden.
