Lee is correct in asserting that the records for Zoar are likely in the Charlemont group, but I believe some might also be held at Rowe. Have you tried Hawley? If a Rice is involved, it might be worth a look there, too, as many of the Rice's settled in Hawley, just adjacent to Charlemont. I don't know if you can accomplish anything by backtracking through the Rice's, but it is likely there is some very solid information at Historic Deerfield, as the Rice's came out of the 1704 Old Deerfield settlement and are highly documented. If Charles actually married Reney, it might give you another nugget of information going forward. NEHGS will likely have some good information on the Rice's.
