The following photos are from the collection of cousin Shirley Hull. They were passed down from Sarah Marinda Bates Pratt through her daughter Celestia Pratt Tyler. Most are unidentified.

Some are of known descendants of Orson and Sarah, particularly in Celestia's line. Others may be from the family of Celestia's husband Albert Peter Tyler.

Can you identify the unknown photos below or confirm the IDs we do provide? If so, please let us know! (contact information below).

Orson Pratt. This photo appears on a spread in the middle of Shirley's book with other known or suspected members of Orson and Sarah's immediate family.	Possibly Sarah Marinda Bates Pratt.
