Zilpha was not married to Stephen.
She was married to Geo. Washington McElroy.Grandpa McElroy served in the Union Army from Ky.When the war was over, he had lost an arm.They moved to KS where he rec'd a homestead because of his Union Service.When they moved to KS, he died from being trampled by a horse.Geo. Washington McElroy is buried in the Farm Ridge Cemetery at Sycamore, KS.
Zilpha married a Mr. Bush who also died and is buried at Farm Ridge.
Zilpha lived to be 99 years old.I have her picture.I also have a picture of what is suppose to be her sister.On the back it says, "AUNT BEKKA"Does anyone know anything about a Bekka or Rebecca Watson that might be her sister?
