I didn't see Martha in any death records from Michigan.  There are various links here if you want to check yourself.  https://www.deathindexes.com/michigan/index.html

On the Find a Grave entry for her son, someone gave her death year as 1917.  http://www.rootschat.com/links/01t5c/  It doesn't give a source though.  It looks like her daughter died in Ohio too.  https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/241848660/elizabeth-j-humphrey

The Margaret who married Frederick Ernest Freet in 1898 was the daughter of the original Margaret & William.

A Feb. 1918 newspaper from Connecticut mentioned Mrs. Frederick Freer of Cromwell going to Lawrence, Massachusetts for her father's funeral.  https://www.newspapers.com/article/hartford-courant/146586671/  I couldn't find a death there for William Newman or William Barnes.

Margaret Freer's obit is here, and it mentions brother William N. Barnes - https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-burlington-free-press/146586614/

The younger William's obituary is here - https://www.newspapers.com/article/st-albans-daily-messenger-obituary-for/146585354/  It says he also had a brother Jack Dwight of Los Angeles, California. 

There was also a mention in 1945 of the death his brother Alfred Dwight Barnes in Portland, Maine and it mentioned the brother Jack in California.  https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-burlington-free-press/146585441/

The 1958 death certificate for the younger William lists him (and his father) as William Newman Barnes.  His mother is listed as Margaret Walker, and the birthdate is 20 Aug. 1871, so those fit.  Not sure why they became Barnes?

The younger William's petition for naturalization also says William Newman Barnes with the same birthdate and place as the birth record from above.  It says he came from Dunham, Canada to the US via railway on 15 Mar. 1901.

Could these be William & Margaret's children born in Scotland?

William, b. 20 Aug 1871 Strathblane, Stirlingshire, Scotland https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQT4-TPP

Margaret Ross Newman b. 7 Jan. 1873, Kilsyth, Stirlingshire, Scotland https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:FQ4H-XY3

If so, there is a family tree for the younger William that has him dying in Vermont in 1958.  https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GJ2B-2D2  I don't know if that's accurate, but Vermont is near Massachusetts. 

This family tree has the Margaret who married Frederick Ernest Freer as the daughter Margaret and the marriage in 1898 in Vermont.  https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LV69-PC4

In those days, it was pretty common for the man to emigrate first to find work and save up for the wife & kids to come.

In the May 1919 passenger list with Bridget Carroll & Catherine Morrissey, Catherine also has a child Michael J. Morrissey, age 3 with her. 

Considering that and the previous mention of Mrs. Morris Morrissey, I think Catherine's husband was the Maurice Morrissey of the naturalization papers here - https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-99HD-T4KC?view=index&action=view  The Petition for Naturalization said his wife Catherine died in Ireland on 20 Sep. 1919 and his son Michael was born in NY on 25 Apr. 1916. 

Catherine's death record was signed by mother Bridget Carroll.  https://civilrecords.irishgenealogy.ie/churchrecords/images/deaths_returns/deaths_1919/05134/4414041.pdf

Maurice Morrissey, widowed, age 25, sailed from Southampton to NY on 16 Apr. 1920 and the passenger list shows him going to sister-in-law Margaret Long.

Son Michael's marriage license is here, and his mother is listed as Catherine Carroll - https://a860-historicalvitalrecords.nyc.gov/view/11405423

Michael's obituary is here - https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-jersey-journal-obituary-for-michael/145888049/  The New Jersey death index lists him as born 25 Apr. 1916 and died 22 Nov. 1995 in Secaucus, New Jersey.

Got me wondering now.  What happened to Bridget and why she died so young.

The cause of death on the death certificate is a bit hard to read, but my guess is acute nephritis and the contributing cause is (something illegible) vomiting of pregnancy.
