(Daughter) Census US 185017 September 1850Martha was enumerated on the 1850 census taken on 17 September 1850 in the household of her parents in Granby, Oswego County, New York. She was 10 years old and had attended school within the census year.4,5 
(Daughter) Census State NY 185530 June 1855Martha Ann was enumerated on the 1855 New York state census taken on 30 June 1855 in the household of her mother in Granby, Oswego County, New York. She was 15 years old.6,7 
Marriage*23 April 1858She married first Henry J. Shorb, son of Andrew Shorb and Mary Phillips, on 23 April 1858 in Indiana.3,8 
Census US 1870*18 June 1870Martha and Henry Shorb were enumerated on the 1870 census taken on 18 June 1870 in Cleveland, Whitley County, Indiana. Henry was 38 years of age and a farmer with real estate valued at $2,400 and a personal estate valued at $600, and Martha was 29 years of age and keeping house. Their three children were enumerated with them in 1870. Mary and George were ages 10 and 7 years, respectively, and had both attended school within the census year; and baby Harriet was two years old.9 
Census US 1880*15 June 1880Martha and Henry Shorb were enumerated on the 1880 census taken on 15 June 1880 in Cleveland, Whitley County, Indiana. Henry was 47 years of age and a farmer, and Martha was 40 years of age and keeping house. Three of their children and a niece were enumerated with them in 1880. Their daughter, Mary, was recorded as Mollie, and was 20 years old; daughter Audrey Odella, who was recorded as Ellen, was 9 years old; and their son Andy was one year old. Their niece, Louisa Churchill, a daughter of Martha's sister, Caroline (Heaton) Churchill, and her deceased husband, Lawrence Churchill, was also enumerated with the Shorb family in 1880. Louisa was 19 years old and her widowed mother and younger sister, Eliza Jane, were enumerated as boarders at a Poor House in Columbia, Whitley County.10,11,12 
(Grandmother) Grandchild An Indiana newspaper, reporting the death of Martha's grandson, Floyd Meadows, on 20 March 1908, stated that Floyd, whose mother died during or shortly after his birth, had been raised by his grandmother, Martha Flickinger, since infancy. Our research indicates that Martha's other grandson, Floyd's brother, Ira Meadows, who was seventeen months older than Floyd and also a baby when their mother, Mary (Shorb) Meadows, died, was likely also raised by their maternal grandmother, Martha Ann (Heaton) Shorb Flickinger.13 
(Wife) Death22 December 1894Martha Ann became a widow when Henry J. Shorb died on 22 December 1894 at the age of 62 years, 5 months and 25 days.8 
Marriage*13 September 1897She married second, as his third wife, Jeremiah Flickinger on 13 September 1897 in Whitley County, Indiana.14,3,15 
Will*31 May 1904She and her second husband, Jeremiah Flickinger, were apparently still married when Jeremiah prepared his will on 31 May 1904 in Whitley County, Indiana. His will stated in Item 2, "For the reason that there is a valid antenuptial contract between myself and my wife Martha Flickinger by the terms of which neither shall share in the property of the other in case of death, I make no provision for her herein."16 
(Grandmother) Injury17 March 1908Her grandson, Floyd G. Meadows, who was a brakeman with the Pennsylvania Railroad company, was seriously injured when he fell beneath moving cars at Wanatah, LaPorte County, Indiana, on Monday, 17 March 1908, and had his legs so badly crushed that both were amputated, one at the ankle and the other at the knee.13,17,18 
(Grandmother) Death20 March 1908Floyd died as a result of his injuries on 20 March 1908 in St. Joseph Hospital, Fort Wayne, Allen County, Indiana, at age 25.13,19,20 
(Grandmother) Accident Fort Wayne newspapers published the story of Floyd's tragic accident and subsequent death. On Wednesday, March 18, 1908, The Fort Wayne Sentinel wrote that the incident occurred the day before, on Tuesday, explaining that:

Meadows was a member of Conductor C. E. Barker's crew and was enroute with an extra freight train to Chicago, and that the train had taken the coal dock siding at Wanatah. While it was at a standstill, Meadows attempted to get upon a rapidly moving west-bound freight train to ride from the rear end of his train to the engine. He missed his hold on the grab irons and fell with his feet across the rail and several cars passed over his legs. His fellow trainmen carried him to the station and placed him on a passenger train to the city. The ambulance met the train at the depot, and Meadows was taken to St. Joseph's hospital where the mangled portions of his legs were amputated by the company's surgeon. Flagman Ferguson of Conductor Barker's crew and a Wanatah physician accompanied the injured man to Fort Wayne and gave him all the aid possible en route. At 2 o'clock this afternoon a telephone message from the hospital said that Mr. Meadows was conscious, but suffering greatly and the result of his injuries were doubtful.

The article described Floyd as about twenty-five years old, unmarried, and since he entered railroad work had made his home at the boarding house of Mrs. William Rost at 440 Masterson Avenue. He began working for the Pennsylvania company May 16, 1907, and in his application for a position stated that his mother was dead, his father a resident of Marion, that he had a brother, Ira Meadows, residing on a farm in Cleveland township, Whitley County, and an aunt, Mrs. Laura Prugh, residing at South Whitley. Mrs. Prugh was in the city yesterday and called at the boarding house of her nephew, but he was out and she did not see him. The paper reported that she had since returned to the city and "is at his bedside now", that the brother had been notified and was expected to arrive there that afternoon, but that the father had not been located by 2 o’clock, and that "he is a brick mason and does not have any permanent place of residence".

A brief note published the following day in the same newspaper, reported that Floyd was "getting along finely at St. Joseph's hospital and there is no reason to doubt his recovery". It also stated that his aunt, Mrs. Prugh, of South Whitley had returned home.

News of his death was published on Friday, March 20, 1908 by The Fort Wayne News, stating that he had died at St. Joseph's hospital at 3 o'clock that morning as a result of his injuries. The newspaper reported that Floyd was twenty-five years of age and one of the most popular men in the employ of the company, that he was unmarried and had lived with his grandmother since infancy at South Whitely, that he was survived by his grandmother, Mrs. Martha Flickinger, father "Andrew Flickinger" (an error: his father was Andrew J. Meadows), one brother, Ira Meadows, who was not named, and four half-sisters, and that his burial would be at South Whitley.18,17,13 
Census US 1910*25 April 1910Martha Flickinger was enumerated on the 1910 census taken on 25 April 1910 in the household of her daughter and son-in-law, Ray and Laura Prugh, in Cleveland, Whitley County, Indiana. Martha was recorded as 69 years of age, a widow, and had given birth to six children, three of whom were living.21 
(Grandmother) Census US 191025 April 1910Martha Flickinger was enumerated on the 1910 census taken on 25 April 1910 in the household of her daughter and son-in-law, Laura and Ray Prugh, in Cleveland, Whitley County, Indiana. Martha was a widow, 69 years of age, able to read and write, and had given birth to six children, three of whom were living. Martha and the Prugh family lived very near the household of Martha's grandson, Ira Meadows, son of Martha's deceased daughter, Mary (Shorb) Meadows. Ira's household was the last household on his census page, and the Prugh family, with his grandmother and aunt, Laura Prugh, was the first household on the next census page.22 
Death*28 October 1916She died on 28 October 1916 in South Whitley, Whitley County, Indiana, at age 76. The name on her death certificate was Martha Flickinger, and her marital status was completed as "Divorced" by the informant, Mrs. Ray Prugh, who was Martha Ann's daughter, Laura.3

Birth*2 December 1762Mary Heaton was born on 2 December 1762 in Frederick County, Virginia.4,5,6,1 
Marriage*She married first Zephaniah Luce, a native of New Jersey, son of Eleazer Luce and Elizabeth __?__, probably in Berkeley County, Virginia.3 
Name-SpellingsAnother spelling of the LUCE surname found in our research was LUSE.7 
(Daughter) Relocation1785In the summer of 1772, Mary was living with her parents and siblings near Watkins Ferry in Berkeley County, Virginia. Their now extended family, with Mary and her husband Zephaniah and young daughter, and probably Zephaniah's brother Samuel and others, left Virginia in 1785, and moved west to Pennsylvania where two of the Heaton brothers, John and Henry, had already settled. They established their new home in that part of Washington County, Pennsylvania, which would become Greene County in 1796.2 
(Wife) DeathMary became a widow when Zephaniah Luce died.3 
Marriage*She married second Samuel Luce, son of Eleazer Luce and Elizabeth __?__, a brother of her first husband, probably in Washington County, Pennsylvania.3 
Research Notes*Mary's first and second husbands were brothers, so all of her eight children have the same surname, and not many of their birth dates have been identified. The dates of her marriages are not yet known, and neither is the date of her first husband's death. Tenmile Country listed all of the children as Samuel's, however the Heaton sources indicate some of her children were from her first marriage. We don't know for sure which husband fathered each child, and have simply "assigned" her children to either her first or second husband in what we believe to be a thoughtful, albeit uncertain, manner. We look forward to correcting our errors as we learn more information.3,8,6 
Death*7 November 1838She died on 7 November 1838 in Greene County.6,9,10
