Martha Malinda Tubbs was born about 1839. She was the daughter of Frederick Tubbs and Lucy Philena Colvin. Martha married Davis Brookins Calkins sometime before 1855. They had at least 7 children. Martha passed away on 22 Apr 1886.
After Martha's death, her husband Davis married Delia A (Rockwell) Emery on 18 Oct 1887. That marriage license lists Martha's death on Apr. 22, 1886.
There was a mistake in Martha's death year and her husband remarriage before she passed away that required further research.
The 1892 New York Census shows Davis living with his wife Delia Calkins and four of his children: Anthony, Herbert, William & Flora. That's about four years before Martha's death in 1896 according to two sources.
Martha's Find a Grave record states her death on 22 Apr 1896. It does not include an image of her grave stone. Instead, Find a Grave used another source: "From the records of The Painted Hills Genealogy Society. Steuben County, NY."
Martha's grave record from Painted Hills can be found here: http://www.paintedhills.org/STEUBEN/AddisonMapleCem.html . It includes an error and misread the death year as 1896 instead of 1886. An easy mistake. Painted Hills warns users: "to think of the information you find as clues." And "remember that information published on PHGS has not been verified."
After Martha's death, her husband Davis married Delia A Emery on 18 Oct 1887. That marriage license clearly lists Martha's correct death date as Apr. 22, 1886.
