Alabama, Zachariah b.1803 & Christopher
This is only my opinion and I could be wrong but:
Zachariah Burden has been listed by many researchers as a son of Christopher Borden b. 1765.Does anyone have proof of this?
Zachariah was born around 1803 in Tenn. but does not appear in Alabama when Christopher Borden and his family does.1840 Census of Lincoln County Tenn list a Zachariah Burden who could very well be one in the same.Also, Zachariah Burden would have had to been in Tenn. alone at age 14 because Christophers family was in Madison AL by 1817.Zachariah Burden married 2nd to Amy Dodd in 1858 again he is married under the name Burden.His census records are under Burden.
Zachariah did not, that I can find, have a child name Christopher.Zachriah Burden census if it is the correct on in Lincoln County Tenn listed as :
101001-011001
1 male 1835-1840 James Burden(b.1835)
1 male 1825-1830 Druery? Burden(b. 1830)
1 male 1800-1810 Zachariah b. 1803
1 female 1830-1835 Eliza b. 1832
1 female 1825-1830 Unknown
1 female 1800-1810 his wife ?
1850 Lawrence County AL agrees with the above.
Christopher Borden b. 1823 that married Mary Dement I believe was a son of Rev. David Borden and Polly Skidmore. Census Records also agree with that.
If there is anyone who can prove that Zachariah Burden was a son of Christopher Borden please e-mail me.
