Chapin Dedication [ Ben Zachary ] Back Volume III, Appendix, The Newton County, Texas Stark Families Biography Benjamin and Elizabeth Odom Zachary (Last Update: August 23, 2003 by Clovis La Fleur, August 2000; From Publication, The Zachary Family, From Virginia to Texas Benjamin Zachary, probably the son of John Zachary, 2nd (to SC), was probably born in Cumberland County, North Carolina between 1766 and 1772 and married Elizabeth Odom before 1794 in Orangeburgh District, South Carolina. The author believes this is the location of the marriage, because Benjamin was a witness to the marriage of Isaac Carter, ca. 1784, in Orangeburgh District. I believe Elizabeth Odom was probably born between 1772 and 1775, based on census data. Benjamin and Elizabeth are known to have had six children in the 1810 census for Barnwell District, South Carolina, formed from part of Orangeburgh District in 1798. Elizabeth Zachary had six children in 1811, which will be shown in the Georgia Passport to be discussed later. I believe John Zachary was the oldest born between 1794 and 1800. Also, two daughters were born to this couple within the same time frame. Their daughter, Cynthia, was born between 1800 to 1805, since she is reported to be in the 20-30 age group in the 1830 census for St. Tammany Parish. These first three births probably occurred in Orangeburgh District, South Carolina. However, if any were born after 1798, then the birth would have been recorded in Barnwell District. Cynthia would have been born in Barnwell District. Her younger brother Bennett Hiram and sister, Elizabeth, were also born in this district. After November of 1811, Benjamin and Elizabeth moved from Barnwell District to Pike County, Mississippi. They appear in the 1820 census for that County. | |
