Martha, often called Mattie, was born in Waltham, Massachusetts, in 1842, the daughter of John Gibson and Sarah Ann Gibson.
She resided in Clinton, Massachusetts, in 1865, with her parents.[1] Shortly after, she married Dewitt C. Morse, on July 3, 1865, in Clinton, as her first husband. [2]
She married secondly to James Jones on March 24, 1873, as "Mattie Haffstadder". Did she marry another time before this to a Mr. Haffstadder? No record has been found but it would seem so. James died of cancer in 1875. She married for a last time to John Pierce, in 1881 (his second marriage, her third).[3]
Mattie died in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1907, after having been in the hospital for 23 days due to septicemia and multiple abscesses.[4] She was buried at the Salem Street Cemetery in Malden, Mass., with her father.
