"I married a very agreeable companion," wrote Zera (or Zerah) Pulsipher of his wife, Mary. "Lived with her about one year when she died leaving one child which we named Harriett." A few weeks after her death, "she came to me in vision and appearing natural looked pleasant as she ever did and sat by my bedside and assisted me in singing a hymn--beginning thus: 'That glorious day is dawning nigh when Zion's Light Shall Shine.'" Years later he concluded the hymn they sang was to prepare him for the message of the Restoration.
Zera was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ in January 1832 in Onondaga County, New York. For the next two years he presided over the branch of the church in that county.
