She was the daughter and youngest child of Jacob Albright (born 1799 in Switzerland) and Anna Albright (Born 1808 in New Jersey). Jacob Albright's last name likely was "Albrecht", and changed it upon immigration to America.
Martha is listed in the 1850 US Census as living at age 8 months with Jacob and Anna in the Spring Garden Section, Ward 2, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Residing with them are Sarah Elizabeth (daughter – age 13), Ellen D. (daughter – age 11), Alfred Albright (son – age 8), Emily Theresa (daughter – age 6), and Edward N. (son – age 2).
She is then listed in the 1860 US Census as living at age 10 with Jacob Albright (age 61) and Anna Albright (age 51). Residing with them are Sara (age 22), Ellen (age 20), Alfred (age 18), and Theresa (age 15). Jacob's occupation is listed as "Bookends Runner".
She married George Washington Dodge on January 31, 1870 at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Together they had three children: George Warren (born September 15, 1870 in Philadelphia), Edmund Neville (born April 2, 1873 in Wilmington, Delaware) and Mary "Mamie" Wilkinson (Born January 21, 1875 in Philadelphia).
In the 1870 US Census they are listed as living in Philadelphia Ward 20, District 62 with Albert Albright (age 29), Anna Albright (age 62), Sarah Magee (age 33), Anna Magee (age 9), and Hall Magee (age 3). George W. Dodge's occupation is listed as Wood Carver. Martha's father, Jacob, had died in 1866.
George Washington Dodge died on May 5, 1879 at age 34 of Pulmonary Consumption, which was what Tuberculosis was called at the time. The family was living at 1234 Haines Street, Philadelphia, near Germantown. He was buried in his family's plot in Mount Vernon Cemetery, Philadelphia.
The 1880 US Census shows Martha's family now split up. She is listed as residing at 653 North 16th Street with Henry S. Hoover (age 36), August Hoover (age 30), Helen Hoover (age 2). She is listed as "Servant". Her son George Warren Dodge, is listed as residing at age 9 at the Union Temporary Home for Children, Philadelphia. Son Edmund Neville is listed as residing at age 7 with Henry G. Dodge (age 40), Sarah E. Dodge (age 35) and Anna R. Dodge (age 14) in Darby Township, Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Henry G. Dodge was George Washington Dodge's older brother, and worked as a Printer. Finally, her daugher, Mary "Mamie" Wilkinson Dodge, is listed as residing at age 5 at 1234 Haines Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with Anna Albright (age 72), Sarah Magee (age 42), Anna E. (age 19), Albert Fletcher (age 20), and Louisa Conard (age 24). Sarah Magee is listed as Anna Albright's daughter, and Anna E. Magee is listed as Sarah's daughter and Anna's granddaughter. Albert Fletcher and Louisa Conard are listed as "Boarders". Mamie W. Dodge is also listed as a "Boarder", but that is a transcription error, as Anna Albright was her grandmother, Sarah her aunt and Anna E. her cousin.
In 1886 Martha Albright Dodge married 51-year-old Euclid Hill (Philadelphia County Marriage License #7306), who had been a widower, with his first wife ironically also being named Martha. In 1889 they had a daughter, Stella Harrison Hill.
Martha appears in the 1890 US Census Veterans Schedule as the widow of Corp. George W. Dodge, 4th Delaware Infantry, with a notation she resides at 1234 Haines Street and now is "Mrs. Hill".
On February 1, 1892 Mattie Hill and her three-year-old daughter Stella were killed in Woodbury, New Jersey by a locomotive belonging to the West Jersey Railroad.
Their remains were transported to Philadelphia, and they were buried there in Greenmount Cemetery, North Front Street.
Martha Louise Albright Dodge Hill was my great-great-grandmother. Her son, Edmund Neville Dodge, was my great-grandfather. Edmund Neville Dodge worked as a cabinetmaker and woodworker for Hale-Kilburn in Philadelphia for many years. Circumstances suggest that his stepfather got him the employment there.
Her first name is misidentified in the article below.

Special to the Inquirer
WOODBURY, Feb. 1. - Sarah Hill, wife of Euclid Hill, employee of the Hale-Kilburn Company, of Philadelphia, and their little 3-year-old daughter, were instantly killed near the North Woodbury station at 9 o'clock this morning.
