Notes

  • Zilpah was the lastborn child, born about a year before her father died.

    1860 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Alabama, 15 July, District 2, PO Center, page 70, Hse/Fam #497

    Green [Stinson], Wm L  W M 4 Grandson Single At Home Cannot Read or Write AL AL AL

    Note that Zilpah's name has changed here to Zilpha.  The first is the normal biblical spelling of this Hebrew name.  The latter could be a simple transposition, a spelling mistake, but could also indicate a shift in pronunciation from p to F sound after the L.  Later we find it as Zelpha and Zelphia, though that could be a misreading of Zilpha or Zilphia.

    Note that the Stinson son's given name is written here as Milliam.  It must be intended to be William, and the enumerator either wrote is thoughtlessly as an M, or his loops for the W are curved strangely and differently than other Ws on the page, included a William in the previous household.

    Shelly Cloud's genealogy reports information that identifies the child William in the 1880 census.  Shelly tells us that Zilpah married William A Stinson in 1875.   Their son William was born in 1876.  The enumerator erred in reporting her as Single.  She was actually divorced from William Stinson.  This census has no designation for divorced, offering only Single, Married or Widowed.  I guess Single was the closest.  The surname is also wrong, since Zilpah's last name, as well as William's, is Stinson at this time.

    Shelly reports her date of death, and her full name as:
    Zelphia Canzada Green (1851-1940)

    The 1900 census reports that Zilpah has borne only 1 child, and that would be William A Stinson, son of her first husband, in the Lewis household.  If this report is correct, that means that Zilpah has had no children in the 24 years since William was born, no children with her current and second husband Lloyd Lewis.

    There are two Stinson households later on the same page, headed by John, age 61, and Cynthia, age 56.

    1930 Federal Census, Cherokee County, Alabama, 8 April, Precinct 1, Mud Creek, District 10-1, page 4A, Sewell's Creek Rd, Hse #66, Fam #71

    Lewis, Zilpha Wife  F W 76  First married at 24  AL AL AL

    Zilpah's age at first marriage would place the marriage in 1875, matching the marriage to William Stinson in 1875.  There is a Stinson family next door to the Lewis couple.  The head of this household is Charlie, age 44.
