Notes
Zachariah Wilson and Mary Wilson were siblings. Both of them married Chenoweth's in Berkeley County, Virginia in 1797.
This relationship is also confirmed in research done by Chenoweth researcher Bob Crane:
- Lurannah Chenoweth's husband, Zachariah Wilson, was a 60-day draftee in the Revolutionary War, (6) a weaver by trade, and the brother of Edward Chenoweth's wife Mary Wilson. They were Guernsey County pioneers, having moved to Ohio from Pennsylvania about 1813 when the county was a wilderness. (7) In 1825, when Matilda Jane was born, the Wilsons were in Guernsey County while the Gordons were in adjacent Muskingum County. By then, the relationship between the sisters had become especially close; Elizabeth attended to Lurannah as she gave birth to her third daughter, and was with Lurannah when Zachariah died in 1828. (8) There is a suggestion, admittedly speculative but nonetheless probable, that Matilda Jane’s birthplace was the home of Elizabeth Chenoweth Gordon. The search for Matilda Jane by Bob Crane
