Zacarias and his twin brother Zenous (senos, senis, seanous) were bound out to Quakers, Tom and Matilda King, Houston County, Georgia, as children. Zacarais Davis married the King daughter Elizabeth. In later years when the boys were asked who their parents were, they would respond; "As far as we are concerned we have none."
In the 1850 Houston County, Georgia census he is listed with wife and 13 children !
Hawkinsville Dispatch Vol 19 #1 January 1 1885
"Mr. Zachariah Davis, of Pulaski County, is seventy two years old and is the father of seventeen children, all of whom are grown, and sixteen of the number are married and living within six miles of their father, and the other one lives with him. Mr. Davis and his twin brother came to Georgia from North Carolina long years ago. They both now living in this county. Zachariah has had born to him eighteen children (one having died) and as stated, sixteen are married and living within six miles of the paternal homestead. He has seventy grandchildren, and it was his desire to have a family reunionthis Christmas but thought his house was to small. Judge McGriff from whom we learned the above facts, states that he has known the Davis brothers for thirty years, and that they have been known and recognized as worthy men and exemplary citizens."
I do have a good bit more information including photos, Zacharias Davis is my 3 great grandfather. Victor Myrick was my cousin.
