Hi Betty, You said: I knew I probably had this mixed up. Who did Zachariah, son of John M. marry? He married Martha Emmaline McKenzie, daughter of Patrick McKenzie and Lavinia Getty. He died 26 July 1891 in Bloomfield Twp., Indiana, of heart disease. He died 12 days after a son was born to him and Martha, which must have been very difficult. I haven't found what became of Martha after his death, but she died before Lavinia Getty's death in 1909.
