| John (Jack) Zachary NOTE: Other records list him as John Zachary, Jack Zachary, John N. Zachary, John Newton Zachary, John Jackson Zachary, John Jack Zachary etc. It is hard to sort out history. I will make adjustmest when possible. JOHN (JACK) ZACHARY was born July 03, 1803 in Tennessee, and died March 11, 1881 in Pickett County, Tennessee. He married NANCY DIXON Abt. 1825. She was born April 03, 1807, and died Abt. 1881 in Tennessee. According to the Jerry Burelison Website the father of John (Jack) Zachary was James Zachary. The mother of John (Jack) Zachary was Sarah Haley. In 1802 when James Zachary was 20, his second marriage was to Sarah Haley, in Grainger, Tennessee.. Sarah was born in 1760. Sarah died in 1810, she was 50. Children of JOHN ZACHARY and NANCY DIXON are: JAMES BLACKSTONE ZACHARY, b. Abt. 1826, Tennessee; d. Unknown. MARY ZACHARY, b. Abt. 1831, Tennessee; d. Unknown; m.

August 09, 1941, Pickett County, Tennessee. HANNAH ZACHARY, b. 1829, Fentress Co., TN; d. Bet. 1860 - 1870, Fentress Co., TN. One of the great mysteries is who exactly the wife of John (Jack) Zachary (mother of Jasper Pleasant) was. Some records say, Nancy UNKNOWN; others are Nancy DIXON, Nancy CRAIBORN, Nancy CLAIBORN, Nancy CLAIBOURN, Nancy CLAYBORN, and Dad's transcription from a family Bible has her as Nancy Jane SMITH. I am going to make a leap of faith and assume her middle name was JANE since one of her daughters was Nancy Jane. I will leave this as DIXON until I find out otherwise. |
