Dear Elizabeth, Thank you so much for your help. Assuming that this is all the same Zilpha Hall, the NC marriage bonds have her marrying ALSEY PACE in Johnston Co., NC, in Sept. 1820. Alsey Pace may be the illegitimate son of STEPHEN PACE by an Indian woman. The problem is figuring out if this is the same Zilpha or Zilpah Pace (name spelling varies with the census). Maybe Zilpha/Ziltha was a common first name among Quakers, or at least among Halls. Frankly, some of the children of Zilpha Pace do have Quaker-sounding names: Abner, Wiseman, Needham, Lively. At least I suspect these are the children of Zilpha Pace as she later turns up in Guilford Co., NC, and migrates to Mecklenburg in the 1850s with some of these children. No husband is shown in the 1850 census and her birth place on that census is shown as Chatham Co., NC.
