Jim,
Everything that you listed about Zach is contained in Zach’s 5/27/1833 pension hearing, wife Sarah’s 7/22/1839 pension hearing , John Young’s statements at Sarah’s hearing and son James Wharton at his 1851 appearance.
The only thing you listed about Sam that I didn’t know was his burial place.
I found the following on HeritageQuest, in a letter dated 2/27/1929 to:
