"DAVID, Boston, soapboiler, by w. Susanna had David, b. 11 Dec. 1638; Jonathan, 20 May 1641; John, 21, bapt. 23 Apr. 1643; Nathaniel, 18, bapt. 27 July 1645; Joanna, 11 Dec. 1647; Elizabeth 1 Feb. 1652; and Susanna, 1653, wh. d. soon; and he d. 1654, in Virg. His inv. of 6 Dec. in that yr.shows fair est. in sum, yet very little beyond debts. How his name was pervert. to Zullesh may be seen near the end of this vol."

Zullesh, David, freem. of Mass. 18 May 1642, is the last name on the long list of that day's adm. as well as the latest in the labor of this Dictionary, wh. closes with regret that no further report of him can be afford, nor can any conject. be hazard, even for his resid. It hardly seems like an Eng. name, and f. mo. br. sis. w. or ch. are unkn. As approxim. to so unusual a surname, I have seen nothing but Mr. Zellick, a merchant at New Haven, 1647, only as a transient visitor, if even he were not far remote, whose goods of £200. value were attac. there by Mr. Pell, no doubt Thomas, one of the chief men there. I suppose he was a Dutchman from Manhattan; and that his name was by Boston folks turn. into Sellock.
As it turns out, he was an Englishman from County Somerset and his name was, by a Boston scribe, turned into Zullesh.
