Thank you for all the census information. I didn't know Ophelia Cross Neblett Batson had brothers and sisters. That's a new avenue of investigation for me. Anyway in a diagram by Iva Coffman who is a great- grandaughter of William Henry Neblett and Ophelia (her 1st husband), there is listed Burney Z., Hattie, Stewart, Mary, and Vmist as children of Zachariah and Ophelia Batson. So the Z. could certainly stand for Zachariah. In this same abstraction by Iva Coffman Zachariah's birth is listed as 1823 and death is listed as July 23, 1880. Dianna p.s. What kind of name is Vmist? It looks like a letter is missing - ha.
