Person:Zachariah Wilson (2)

Disambiguation

NOT to be confused with Zachariah Wilson who was born in Pennsylvania, married Susannah "Lorenah" Chenoweth 1797 in Berkeley County, Virginia and died 1827 in Guernsey County, Ohio. Records show they are different persons in different places. Some researchers have confused the two Zachariah's and/or combined them into a single person with over-lapping marriages and children. The 1820 U.S. Census clearly proves that there were at least TWO DIFFERENT Zachariah Wilsons, one in Charlotte County, Virginia, one in Guernsey County, Ohio and another Zachariah Wilson listed in the 1820 & 1830 Census in Shenandoah County, Virginia.
