Pellom, Pelham and other spelling variations Surname

Have tried for several years now to find my brickwall, Stephen Pellom/Pelham and other spelling variations. Stephen is listed as being in the Revolutionary War and signing on in New Hampshire. He also served in Vermont.

Stephen died on October 7, 1786 in Thetford, Orange County, Vermont.

From an old document at the Thetford Historical Society state that on May 5, 1786 "Stephen Pellom and family, Jemima Pellom, Irene Burros...." were warned out of Thetford.

In Peter Olcott's (of Norwich) account books in Dartmouth's special collections has an entry for Stephen Pellom dated Nov. 26, 1785 and states "Stephen Pellom Negro [of] Theadford."

Thetford Historical Society transcribed pages in Rev. Asa Burton's “The Records of the Church of Christ in Thetford, Vt. 1773 - 1832” and states the following:

Page 145: A Record of Births for ye. year 1780

Page 189: A Record of Marriages
Cato Leso married to Betty Pelham October 1791.

Page 209: Record of Deaths for ye year 1780
The Son, and infant, of Jemima Pelham died March 1780

Page 211:
Stephen Pellom died October 7, 1786

The Pellom's were colored people and listed in various census records as Other Free People, Mulatto, Negro and White.

Stephen had one son that I know of named Martin Pellom/Pelham who was born abt. 1773. Martin died Apr. 27, 1850 in Guildhall, Essex County, Vermont. Have

Martin and Ukn. had the following children:

1. Martin J. Pellom/Pelham, male born about 1813 Vt., died Apr. 29 1851 in Guildhall, Essex, Vermont

5. Nancy Pellom/Pelham, female, born Jan 21, 1824 in Vt., dided May 25, 1889 in Hartland, Windsor Co., Vt.

Nancy is my grgr Grandmother and married to a Roswell O. Spaulding. They divorced and had children. Nancy's death notice states she died on cancer of the womb and was mulatto.
