(American Indian) Indian Names Getting the Native American Indian names in our project "right" has been a struggle for us because we have often seen the same person's name spelled in several different ways. This was, at first, both frustrating and stressful to those of us who strive for accuracy in the presentation of our research. When we learned that the Miami Indians, who feature prominently in our project, had no written language before their associations with the French and English who kept records by writing them down, we began to understand. It’s all very human. Not every person speaks their words in the same way, and each listener may hear the same words differently. So, it’s not surprising that, phonetically, when names were spoken, they would be written down as each individual listener heard them.6,7,8,9,10,11,12

Marriage*He may have married Zilpah __?__. 
Residence*1796A third individual named Samuel Peirce appeared in The Boston Directory in 1796 on Fleet Street, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He was listed as a retailer in the commerce category. He, also, may have been one of Zilpah's family members, possibly even her father.1 
Death*26 May 1802The death of an individual named Mr. Samuel Peirce was reported in the newspaper on 26 May 1802 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He was 63 years old.2 
(CLUE Person) Residence2 May 1805An individual named Zilpha (__?__) Peirce, and believed to be the same Zilpah Peirce who died in 1809, placed an advertisement dated 2 May 1805 in the Independent Chronicle newspaper of Boston. It ran on May 2, 13 and 27 and read: "Salt Rheum &c. cured. WIDOW ZILPAH PEIRCE has for Sale, Indian Salve and Wash, which has cured numbers of the Salt Rheum, feald head, sore legs, &c. Indian liquid for Worms; do. tooth ache; do. salves for agued breasts; burns; piles, &c. Innocent and cheap -- no cure, no pay. N.S. The Wash will heal any serusulous humour in the face, and any sore on horses or aminals (sic). Cambridge street, opposite Chamber's street. May 2". At this point in our research we are suspecting that she may have been the widow of Samuel Peirce who died on 26 May 1802 in Boston and are "hoping" to learn that they were relatives or possibly even parents of "our" Zilpah.3

Zilpah Peirce

b. 1782, d. 1 October 1808
Family
ChartsDescendants of Nicholas Boulton, The Immigrant
Descendants of John Bolton and Zilpah Peirce
Birth*1782Zilpah was born in 1782, the location not yet determined. Her year of birth was calculated from the information that she died at age 26 in 1808.1,2 
(CLUE? Identity) Residence1796Two individuals named Samuel Peirce appeared in The Boston Directory in 1796 on Charter Street, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. One was listed as a shipwright in the ship building category and the other as a baker in the food and drink category. It is possible they were Zilpah's family members.3 
(CLUE? Identity) Residence1796A third individual named Samuel Peirce appeared in The Boston Directory in 1796 on Fleet Street, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He was listed as a retailer in the commerce category. He, also, may have been one of Zilpah's family members, possibly even her father.3 
(CLUE? Identity) Residence1800An individual named Zilpha (__?__) Peirce was listed in The Boston Directory of 1800. Her occupation was given as retailer, commerce(s) and her address as Cambridge street, Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. It is a possibility that she may have been "our" Zilpah's mother or other relative.4 
(CLUE Identity?) Marriage Intention27 April 1801An intention of marriage for John Samuel Ward Jones and Zilphia Pierce was recorded on 27 April 1801 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. The record included the information that both were white and resided in Boston. No record of a marriage has been found, however, and John married Ann Joyce later that same year. Where this "Zilphia Pierce fits into the Peirce/Pierce family is not yet known.5,6 
(CLUE Identity?) Death26 May 1802The death of an individual named Samuel Peirce was reported in the newspaper on 26 May 1802 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He was 63 years old.7 
Marriage Intention16 January 1803An intention of marriage for Zilpah Peirce and John Bolton (our Brick Wall Ancestor) was recorded on 16 January 1803 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. Both were residents of Boston.8,9 
Marriage*13 February 1803Zilpah Peirce married John Bolton (our Brick Wall Ancestor), son of John Bolton and Elizabeth Hayward, on 13 February 1803 in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. They were married by the Reverend Samuel Stillman of the First and Second Baptist Churches in Boston.10,5,8,11 
(CLUE? Identity) Residence1805An individual named Samuel Peirce appeared in The Boston Directory of 1805 on Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts. He was listed as a mariner, and at this time it is not known if he was the same Samuel Peirce listed in 1796 as a baker or the one listed that same year as a ship wright or neither.12 
Religion*29 March 1805Zilpah Bolton and Nathaniel Everett, along with eight others which included George Briggs Cox, Peter Vallett, John Woodward, Lydia Sweetser, Sally Lovis, Mary Marnson, Ruth Thayer and Venus Sylvester, applied for membership in the Second Baptist Church in Boston at a Friday evening meeting on 29 March 1805. The applicants spoke "with regard to works of grace upon their souls and after a candid and full examination, they were unanimously received into the fellowship as Candidates for baptism."13 
Religion31 March 1805Zilpah Bolton and Nathaniel Everett, along with several others including Thomas Ditson, John Hayden, George Briggs Cox, Simeon Blanchard, Francis Green, Peter Vallett, John Woodward, Mary Marnson, Ruth Thayer, Venus Sylvester, Kezia Booth, Lydia Leeds, Botsey Jones, Versan Adams, Zebudah Hayden, Martha Farrar, Betsey Mirth Horton, Catherine Thayer, Lydia Sweetser and Sally Lovis, were baptized and became members of the Second Baptist Church, Boston, on Sunday, 31 March 1805. In the baptismal records, the men and women were listed separately.14,15,2 
(CLUE? Identity) Residence2 May 1805An individual named Zilpha (__?__) Peirce, and believed to be the same Zilpah Peirce who died in 1809, placed an advertisement dated 2 May 1805 in the Independent Chronicle newspaper of Boston. It ran on May 2, 13 and 27 and read: "Salt Rheum &c. cured. WIDOW ZILPAH PEIRCE has for Sale, Indian Salve and Wash, which has cured numbers of the Salt Rheum, feald head, sore legs, &c. Indian liquid for Worms; do. tooth ache; do. salves for agued breasts; burns; piles, &c. Innocent and cheap -- no cure, no pay. N.S. The Wash will heal any serusulous humour in the face, and any sore on horses or aminals (sic). Cambridge street, opposite Chamber's street. May 2". At this point in our research we are suspecting that she may have been the widow of Samuel Peirce who died on 26 May 1802 in Boston and are "hoping" to learn that they were relatives or possibly even parents of "our" Zilpah.16 
(CLUE? Identity) Research Notes1806John O. Webster, whose occupation was "retailer, commerce(s)" was listed in the 1806 Boston City Directory. His address was on Ship Street, the same street where John Bolton, the Marine Mariner, lived in 1807. If he was the same Webster that John Bolton was in business with, he could be a clue, and possibly a brother or brother-in-law of Zilpah's. We need to research this John O. Webster to see what we can learn.17 
(CLUE? Identity) Research Notes1806John O. Webster, whose occupation was "retailer, commerce(s)" was listed in the 1806 Boston City Directory. His address was on Ship Street which was also the mariner John Bolton's street in 1807. If our Ancestor John Bolton worked as a mariner in Boston, and if John O. Webster was the Webster John Bolton was in business with, he would be an excellent clue, and possibly a brother or brother-in-law of Zilpah's. We need to research this John O. Webster to see what we can learn.17 
(Mother) Research NotesZilpah and John Bolton's daughter was named Elizabeth Everett Brown. The name "Everett" has been and remains a puzzle to us. We have not found the name anywhere in John Bolton's family. After years of research, we have still found no evidence to indicate why "Everett" was Elizabeth Everett Bolton's middle name. We don't even know yet whether she received the name at birth, or if she or someone else added it to her name for a particular reason later. We do believe that "Everett" has a special significance that needs to be identified. Elizabeth named her first daughter Elizabeth Everett and her oldest son, James Ormond Brown, named his second son Everett. Our first clue to the "Everett" name was found just recently when we learned that Elizabeth's mother, Zilpah (Peirce) Bolton and a man named Nathaniel Everett both applied for membership in the Second Baptist Church in Boston at the same Friday evening meeting and were baptized together on the same Sunday just one year before Elizabeth was born. We obviously need to learn about this Nathaniel Everett and his family in order to determine if he may possibly be our link to the Everett name and maybe even to Zilpah's family and/or to Elizabeth's life between her mother's death in Boston in 1808 and Elizabeth's marriage in Milton, Norfolk County at age 17 in 1823.13,14 
Religion1 May 1808 On 1 May 1808, Mrs. Zilpah Bolton was again listed as a Church member in the records of the Second Baptist Church.15,2 
Death*1 October 1808Zilpah died on 1 October 1808 at age 26. Her death appeared in the records of the Second Baptist Church.18,19,2 
(CLUE Identity?) Death17 November 1809Another individual named Zilpha (__?__) Peirce died in Boston on 17 Nov 1809 at the age of 49. The notice of her death in the Boston Mirror the following day read: "DIED. Yesterday afternoon, Mr. (sic) Zilpha Peirce, aged 49. Her funeral will proceed from Mr. Davisons's house, Salutation alley, tomorrow afternoon, 4 o'clock. Relations and friends are desired to attend without any further invitation."20,21
