Searching for information on the ancestors and/or siblings of Zachariah Harper Jones. Zachariah was born Dec 1809 in Chesterfield District, SC. His father was Abraham Jones, but his mother's name is unknown. Zachariah moved to Marshall Co., AL with his father and mother. He married Lydia Anderson in Madison County AL on July 9, 1829.
