Notes from Garland Corley files:
John Zachary was born 1704 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Notes for JOHN ZACHARY:
In 1730, he went to Virginia, locating in Drysdale Parish of Caroline County, where he bought a plantation.
On November 9, 1732, he was a witness to a deed from a Zachary Taylor to James Stodgill for 200 Acres in Spotsylvania, Virginia.
About 1740, John Zachry returned to Philadelphia, leaving his son James on the Virginia plantation, where he was living on September 6, 1748.
In 1745, John Zachry bought a lot of 22 acres from John Theebold, Ent., in Germantown, Pennsylvania, where he lived and operated a tannery, and, in 1751, bought another lot from Baltes Rearr in the same area.
The story of the shipwreck of John Zachary and John Ruker may have been from the fact that they went by boat down the Deleware and out to sea, passing into Chesepeake Bay on a vessel that picked them up.
There is no evidence that they located in Jamestown.
Children of JOHN ZACHARY are:
i. JOHN R. ZACHARY.
. ii. JAMES ZACHARY, b. Abt. 1725, Culpepper County, Virginia; d. March 08, 1790, Richmond County, Georgia.
