It appears that Zach and Susan had a son who was also named Zachariah and a grandchild (as I recall) via that son with the middle name of Ovid, but I don't know why they chose that name (and that son and his family moved to West VA). Vitula Monroe (Sandridge) Davidson's oldest son Eli Banton Davidson PROBABLY used that name for his son Clarence Ovid Davidson simply because it had been used in his maternal Sandridge family, but that is just a guess. Zach and Susan also had a son named Thomas O. (Ovid, perhaps?) Davidson, and Joseph and Vitula Monroe (Sandridge) Davidson had a second son named Thomas Archer Davidson (my ggf and Eli Banton Davidson's younger brother).
