Thanks, Julie. I didn't see your own e-mail address on your posting, so guess this is the way to answer. No, I don't know any of Zachariah's siblings--I am not SURE of his parents being William Perkins & Margaret Hitchcock, either. I am sure he was born in ASHE Co, NC, but don't know of any SC connections yet. Am pretty lost from this point. We'll keep trying. <vannatta@gvi.net> ------------------------------
