After the loss of her husband, Zilpha Ann married William Jephta Gaddy in 1854/55.
Zilpha Ann Sellers was the daughter of Hardy Sellers and Levina Gulledge. William Jeptha Gaddy was the son of James Gaddy and Amelia “Rilla” Gulledge. The Mothers of William and Zilpha are sisters.
Thomas Hardy Gaddy , the first born child of William Jeptha and Zilpha Ann was born abt 1855 and died in Oct. 1856. This is the basis for suggesting they were married about 1854/55. Also in the 1900 Census they state that they have been married 45 years with 9 children with 7 living. No extant marriage records exist for that time period.
Death: Died on the 20th of October near Chesterfield Court House Thomas Hardy infant son of William J. and Zilpha A. Gaddy, aged 1 years.
October 28, 1856 [Misc Abstracts, Jim Pigg, page 65]
