  4. ↑ 4.0 4.1 One would assume that the birth estimate is based on an age at death? But no death record or gravestone has been located. The probate file shows that Zachariah died by 31 Dec 1761, so the date here, 27 Dec 1761, found confidently asserted in secondary sources, seems appropriate but no basis is known.
