Good to meet you. I have long wondered what happened to those children after the War Between the States. Your Great Great Great Grandfather was a Second Sergeant in Company D, the 34th Ala and according to the record was killed in the Battle of Murphreesboro, Tenn. My Great grandfather Morgan L. Brand was with him in that unit, but survived only to be captured months later, where he spent most of the rest of the war. I have been unable to find where they buried Zacariah after the battle, but Zachariah Sr.(your gggg grandfather) is buried in a farm field on the Horseshoe Bend in Alabama, that was owned by a man named Bernard Coker. (Zach Sr was a member of a Georgia Militia Unit in the war of 1812 (1812-1814) The whole family moved from Alabama to Mississippi and Texas. I believe that Araminta and my great grandmother Levisa Harris were sisters also. There was a genelogical query about your family in the 1950's from a woman named Miller, then in California, that must be Lenora.
My Dad moved to Louisiana from Beaumont, Texas in the late 1930's where he met my mom. I have been a lifelong resident of Baton Rouge, and have worked for 30 years in the Chemical Industry.
