- Biography: Zachariah was the son of James and Sarah Ann Butler. first wife was Sarah Bowe whom he married in 1757.
He was in Hanover County for the 1760 census and all of his five children seem to have been born there - James, Patrick, Nathan Joel, and Zachariah Jr, and daughter Nancy. All migrated after the war to Wilkes County (now Elbert Co, GA). James went to Ala. where he children settled. Before coming to Wilkes Co, just before the Revolution, Zachariah moved to Mecklenburg County, in Virginia's south side bordering North Carolina. By this time Zachariah's first wife had died, and he married Mary Elizabeth Brooks Edwards about 1772. Virginia had seen virtually no military conflict during the early years of the war.
