    Notes:

    Birth:
    The source for Mourning's marriage gives 'James' as her father but yet Pittsylvania court records give his name as Zacharias. Perhaps 'James' is his middle name or simply a wrong transcription from the original document (current belief).

    Zacharias married Winifred Mustain in 1784 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA. Winifred (daughter of Thomas Mustain and Mary Haley) was born in 1756 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA; died in 1820 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
