I think this may be the person you are looking for. What follows is predicated on the Joseph H. Dorand that I was tracking but which may not be the same person.

I think she married a man named Joseph H Dorand either of New Orleans or ended up in New Orleans. They had at least 4 sons - two of which were carpenters. William Henry born (7/16/49) may have 6) and a nephew Joseph Ed (b May 1870). Because of handwriting Lucindia may have come from Germany by way of the mother but it looks like Martha and Joseph were born in New Orleans.

From marrige records I may hav found his childrens marriage. An Annie Alma Dorand (age 17) married a John Michael Connors (age 23) 14 Mar 1910. A Louis Frank Dorand married Victoris Shirley Neice (both age 22) 18 Dec 1912.

The 1910 Census has a    John L Dorand SR age 55 and has Father's Birth Place in Virginia and Mother's Birth Place in Tennessee. Spouses name is Mary M and they live in Ward 17. Children: John L Dorand JR 20 and Joseph Hay Dorand 31. Some of the information is different but there seems to be a connection.

I did see a WWI Draft registration For Jos L Dorand who listed is mother as Madeline Dorand who was born 22 Sep 1878.

Also JH and Martha's sone George may have had a son - George Leonard Dorand. Born 3/13/73 who may have married a Lillian (from Baltimore age 38). He was a dentist in at the Colon, Panama. There are NY passanger arrivals with a George L. For 1 Oct 1915 with a Hortense her age 17 (N.O. address in the US her birth is 3/7/98). For 17 Apr 1924 is is just him and his address is in New Orleans. For 2/18/1938 that list both of them on the list and lists them living in Baltimore. Lillian may have been a second marrage because his WWI draft record says he was a widow with no children. Hortense may have been a daughter or neice - no relation is given but the October from New York as a hand written "ch" next to her name and the address is the same as George.

There are also NO passanger arrivals for various Dorands usually George arriving from Colon, Panama. Frank Lewis Dorand and Shirley and John Lewis on 17 Nov 1914. There were multiple dates for George or his wife (and Hortense) in 1908, 1911, 1913, 1914. Hortense seems to have traveled several times with a Mrs. George L. Durand but her name is not given.

Some of the information with regards to dates doesn't seem to match up (birth date of first won in 1849)
