Maybe Alta was Matilda's nickname. Adelia (as she is called in the 1860 census) is listed as age 1. Too bad poor Adelia died so young. List: Anyone know how these people relate to the Pratt's in the Mormon Church, or if they even do? Of course the Mormons were only in the area until about 1838, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are related in some way.
