I took a quick look through my H.H. Ninninger text books and saw no example
of him figuring out the orbits of his future meteorites. What he did though
was to figure out the directional travel of the fireball through interviews
of the local farmers. This was how he determined on where the fall actually
was.
BTW, at the time he discovered 2/3s of all the meteorites in the U.S.
