Celestia was the daughter of Ebenezer & Sarah/Sally (Aldrich) Pratt.
Sarah's death must have happened before June of 1818.
From WIKIpedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1815_eruption_of_Mount_Tambora
The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora was the most powerful volcanic eruption in recorded human history, with a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 7. The eruption ejected 160–213 cubic kilometers (38–51 cu mi) of material into the atmosphere.[1]
The ash from the eruption column dispersed around the world and lowered global temperatures in an event sometimes known as the Year Without a Summer in 1816(/B.[5] (92,000 people died and I think Sarah may have been one of them although I have no proof of this.)
This brief period of significant climate change triggered extreme weather and harvest failures in many areas around the world.
Several climate forcings coincided and interacted in a systematic manner that has not been observed after any other large volcanic eruption since the early Stone Age.
No one seems to know where Celestia' s mother is buried but she must be in Clarksburg or N. Adams, MA or Stamford, VT.
Ebenezer & Sarah's youngest son, John A. was born in March of 1816 in Clarksburg, MA. Sarah died age 32, in 1818 when John was 2 years old.
Ebenezer married his 2nd wife, Lydia Aldrich in June of 1818 and both were of Clarksburg, MA.
I am not certain the year Celestia was born but was in the very early 1800s bet. 1810 & 1813. There were 2 children born to Ebenezer & Sarah in 1809 & 1814. Her daughter's obit said she was 79 when Jane, Celestia's daughter, died which would make Celestia born 1807 & therefore older than her sister, Mary.
Celestia married Thomas Adams 17 Feb 1831 in Pownal, VT.
They had 2 children; Jane & Thomas H.
obit
(there's an error in obit.. she was an Adams not a Roberts)
Williamsburg Journal Tribune dated July 22, 1897 page 4
Mrs. Roberts, grandmother of Thos. Roberts of Pilot township, and William Roberts of this city, died at the home of the former June 30th, aged about 96 years. The funeral services were held at the M.P. church Thursday conducted by Rev. Kirkwood.
Looks like 89 yrs 5mos 28 days= about Jan 24,1808
I still need to find her mother and stepmother, Sarah and Lydia.
