This research is a work in progress, taken from sources of varying reliability. The information should be verified before being relied upon.
| Birth* | Martha Ellen Corson was born on 8 August 1834 in Canaan, Somerset County, MaineG.1,2 |
| Marriage* | She married Grenville Mellen Atkins, son of Thomas Atkins and Lucinda Fairbanks, on 30 June 1853 in Canaan, Somerset County, MaineG.3 |
| Death* | Martha Ellen Corson died of arterio sclerosis and mitral regurgitation on 17 May 1928 at her brother-in-law Frank W. Atkins' home at 4 Lakeview Avenue in Lynn, Essex County, MassachusettsG.4 |
| Burial* | She was buried on 21 May 1928 in the Town Cemetery in Auburn, Androscoggin County, MaineG.4 |
| Her name is given as Bertha E. Cobb on the death record of her daughter Mary Frances Mitchell. Her death record only names her mother as Keziah Corson with the note "Cannot be learned" under father's name. Informant was her brother-in-law Frank W. Atkins of 4 Lakeview Avenue in Lynn, where she died. The 1850 census of Canaan, Maine has Martha E. Corson living in a Frost family where Keziah Frost was the older women, with an older man named Elliot Frost. 1812 pension file card for Elliot Frost on ancestry.com here: , states that Keziah was a second wife, first husband named Corson. Using ancestry trees it seems most likely that this was Aaron Corson, who died in 1835. |

| Nothing has been found about her after her appearance in the 1870 census. She was not included with the family in the 1880 census so might have died by this time, but would have been nearly 20 years old so might also have gotten married. If so such a marriage record has not been located. When her sister Mary died in 1897 her obituary stated that she was her parents' only child so Lizzie was likely dead by this point. |
