Surnames: Davis Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/hcB.2ACE/1188.1495 Message Board Post: Chuck, My GGrandfather was named Zachariah (Zeddock)Davis who was born in S.C. about 1841. On the Alabama census records from 1870 and 1880 he lists his parents from S.C. also. I can find no record of him in Alabama before 1861. That is the year he married in Perry County Alabama. So in searching S.C. census records in 1860 and earlier I found a Zachariah Davis born in 1841 in Anderson. His father was Archibald (spelling?) Davis. There were other Davis' listed on the census nearby...Levi and Zachariah (much older). I suspect that Zachariah and Levi were brothers and that Archibald was a son. I don't see the young Zachariah on the 1870 S.C. census so i am wondering if he might have gone to Alabama in 1860 after the census was taken. Any information you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
