In 1850, Jane is living in Adams, MA with her aunt, Esther Hathaway. Her brother Thomas H. is also living in the same town.
I do not know where her mother is at this time & have never found her father & mother together in any census record.
Jane and Edward Roberts had 3 children; Charles E. b. abt. 1852 VT, Thomas A. b. 11/1856 IA and William Judson b.1/1871 IA.
Given the long period of time between the births of Thomas & William suggests there may have been other children who did not survive.
I do not know where her children are buried at this time.

Obituary
Williamsburg Journal Tribune 16 July 1886 page 3
On the morning of July 9th just as the morning light was driving nights shadows toward the west, Jane C. Roberts, wife of E.D. Roberts, after fifty three years of useful life, bade farewell to mother, husband, children, friends, after a protracted struggle with the dropsy through which her many friends had watched, fluctuating between hope and doubt death came. But at the last as though in sorrow touched with gentle hand her loving heart.
The deceased was born at Williamstown, Mass., and emigrated to Troy township near Williamsburg, Iowa thirty one years ago, for twenty years she had been a member of the Freewill Baptist church, and all who knew her found in her a comforter in sickness, in health a friend.
She leaves to mourn her loss a husband and three sons, two married and a boy of sixteen and her mother seventy nine years of age, whose grief at the loss of her daughter is inconsolable, but who can tell the grief of those who stay within the home made desolate by death.
Yet the night of grief, we hear the voice of hope and looking across the sea of doubt we see the shore where all shall meet and none shall part.
