On 4 Oct 1861 when MARTHA ANN was 19, she married (1) WILLIAM O'BLENNIS, in Aberdeen, Maryland. He was born in Ohio. They were divorced on 24 Nov 1863 in Linn Co., Iowa.

On 1 April 1864 when MARTHA ANN was 21, she married (2) MARION WAKEFIELD TROTTER, in Jasper County, Iowa. He was born on 27 Dec 1838 in Hendricks County, Indiana.

Religion: Baptist. Despite the surname, it is doubtful that MARION TROTTER formally adopted ORA. Jack Edwards writes, "The information I originally had was that Marion had adopted Ora. Since receiving his Civil War pension papers I doubt if that was true. There is a document assigning him as her guardian in order for her to continue getting her Father's Army pension. I suspect that was the extent of it. It is dated 12 Aug 1875 and was
issued bu the Dist Court in Shelby Co. Iowa." On 17 Mar 1881 when ORA JANE was 18, she married WILLIAM EDWARDS BILLINGS, in Iowa. He was born on 28 Feb 1855 in Belvedier, Ill, Boone County. WILLIAM died in Nampa, Canyon County, ID on 9 Nov 1943, he was 88.
