"Zala" could be Zulu, Zalu, or Zula.  She is called "Zelean" in the 1850 census.

3.  1870 Census Index/Images (online at Genealogy.com):  can't find, at least not with this kludge of a search engine (if only Genealogy.com had a decent search engine, I could probably find him in minutes!).  I did a page-by-page search of Henderson, Union, and Brady Twps. (the last being the location of Mill Creek), Huntingdon Co., PA; Patterson Borough, Juniata Co., PA; North and South Schuylkill Twps. (location of Patterson, a.k.a., Brockton), Schuylkill Co., PA; and St. Mary's Borough, Elk Co., PA, but did not find him.  I did find Michael BORING (æ 43, b. MD, wife Rebecca) in Union Twp., Huntingdon Co., PA (p. 818B).
