>On the LDS search site I found an entry for Zilpah HALL which shows her >birth 12 Aug 1801 in Contentea Mm, Wayne, North Carolina. > >Notice the "Mm" after Contentnea. Is it possible that should be "MM'" >indicating a Quaker settlement? Where is Wayne, NC? You're correct, this is the name of a Quaker Monthly Meeting, and it was in Wayne County NC. That's in eastern NC - Goldsboro area. >This Zilpah Hall could later be married and show on Guilford Co NC census >reports as Zilpah PACE; she was around 50 in the 1850 census. Some of >her family came to Rowan around 1843-44. > Hinshaw's Quaker records, p. 288, lists Zilphia as the daughter of Isaac and Mary HALL, with a brother Henry, b. 2-6-1803. On p. 307, the marriage of Isaac and Mary is recorded, on 10-23-1800 at Holly Spring MM. Isaac was the son of an older Isaac HALL, Mary's maiden name was DOUDNA, and she was the daughter of John DOUDNA of EdgecombeCo. NC. However - there's also the note that this family moved to Concord MM in Jefferson Co. Ohio in 1804. While that doesn't rule out the possibility that they came back to NC, it doesn't look terribly likely. Elizabeth Harris state coordinator, NCGenWeb http://www.rootsweb.com/~ncgenweb/
