The Jeremiah Dottie mentioned is the son of Zachariah, b. 1768 in SC. Jeremiah was born in SC in 1795 and died in MS in 1870. he married Phebe Miles in 1818. I am descended from their third son, also named Jeremiah, b. 1823 in Wayne CO., MS. Is this the same Jeremiah you have in mind? I know there were several other Jeremiahs, some of whom were contemporaries of my Jeremiahs. Howard
