In 1850, Martha, unmarried, was living with her parents in Allegheny Township, Venango County. By 1870 she and family were living in Crawford County, where Alfred was enumerated as a farmer.²⁰⁰

Note: According to the Erie Observer, 19 July 1851, via the Venango County Genealogical Club, Summer 1996: Maria Henderson [not Martha Minerva Henderson] married Alfred Ross, 4 July 1851; both of Pleasantville, married in Union Township [Erie County, Pennsylvania] by M. Miles, J. P. This was a double wedding with Adelia [Dorcas A.] Henderson marrying Samuel Davis (see #48). This apparently is a mistake since the federal censuses list the wife of Alfred Ross as Minerva and the wife of David B. Hotchkiss as Marie or M. M.
