    Andrew's son Zachariah Hampton was born between 1740 and 1745 in Lunenburg VA. In 1769 he married Mary Duran Knowland daughter of the Edward Knowland that Andrew sold land to in 1761. They had the following children:

    1. Nolen Hampton b aft 1771 died 1849 in Carroll Co TN
    2. John Hampton
    It is speculated that Zachariah went to Georgia with his father and then returned to the Granville area. He was first listed as Head of Household in Granville in the 1774 Tax List. But if he was married in 1769 where was his family until then?

    Zachariah took the Oath of Allegiance to the State of North Carolina on May 30, 1778. He was in the Granville Co NC Lytle's Company 10th Regiment. In a book "The History of Old Tyron and Rutherford Counties 1730-1936", by Clarence W Griffin on page 95 shows that: Hampton, Zacr, PVT time 84 months, 640 acres by warrant # 870 Drawn by John Terrel, the Heirs of Zachariah Hamptons Widow. He died on Sept 8, 1781 in the " Battle of Eutawville" in South Carolina.

    In 1783 Mary remarried to John Wilbourn. She names her sons Nolen ($1) and John and Noah Hampton son of Nolen in her will. John Wilbourn's will names stepsons Noah Hampton and Nolan Hampton.
