Zachariah was married to an unnamed mother of Josiah and later married a Native American Indian named "Bush" in the Choctaw Indian Territory. Josiah married Elizabeth Davis and Nicholas, my great grandfather, was married to Samantha Alzada Williams, and homesteaded in Leon County, Texas, after the Civil War. I would like very much to identify the family of Zachariah (parents/siblings) Josiah having been born reportedly in SC.My E-mail address is JuneNHerb@JUNO.com. Appreciate your helping us out. June
