5.{{note|5}} Her death record gives her father as Gamaliel Collins of Hardwick, and wife Ann of Truro.  That man had two marriages recorded in Hardwick, but his second wife, Elizabeth Billing, had died by the time of Martha's birth, and so she must have been daughter of an otherwise unknown third wife, Ann.  Widow Ann Collins's death record in 1861 proves that she was Ann Snow, daughter of Daniel and Ruth (Avery) Collins.  I suggest that Martha G. Collins was named for Gamaliel's deceased first wife, Martha "Patty" Gilbert, so the G would stand for Gilbert.

3.^  Charles Whitney died 1 Apr 1899, Boston, MA, aged 90 years 5 months, of arteriosclerosis, surveyor, born Boston, living in Boston, buried in Worcester, according to: Massachusetts Vital Records, 1841–1910.

4.^  "[Whitney], Charles Jr. of Watertown and Martha G. Collins, [married] Dec. 29, 1840," according to Thomas W. Baldwin, ed., Vital Records of Hardwick, Massachusetts, to the Year 1850 (Boston, MA: 1917), p. 266.

5.^  Her death record gives her father as Gamaliel Collins of Hardwick, and wife Ann of Truro. That man had two marriages recorded in Hardwick, but his second wife, Elizabeth Billing, had died by the time of Martha's birth, and so she must have been daughter of an otherwise unknown third wife, Ann. Widow Ann Collins's death record in 1861 proves that she was Ann Snow, daughter of Daniel and Ruth (Avery) Collins. I suggest that Martha G. Collins was named for Gamaliel's deceased first wife, Martha "Patty" Gilbert, so the G would stand for Gilbert.

6.^  Calculated from her age at the 1855 state census and her age at death. There doesn't seem to be a record of her birth.
