Children of Zachariah REACH and Rosy BOOTHE 1800s NC

Surnames: REACH, HILL, CRISP
Anyone else descended from this couple (mar. 14 Dec 1801 Orange Co NC)? Besides a possible son (Zachariah Jr. in 1840 census Wake Co NC), I believe other offspring were:

Mary - mar. Lewis YATES 17 Dec 1823 Wake Co NC (Book 5 marriages - wit. Joseph BOOTHE)

Elizabeth b. 1807 Wake Co NC - mar. Berry HILL 3 Oct 1827 Wake Co NC

The latter daughter moved to Greene Co AL after her marriage, and later to Caddo Parish LA where she died in the late 1800s. I'm tracing her daughter Mary Catherine HILL who married Leroy R. CRISP in 1849.

More info on children of Zachariah REACH/RICH and Rosanna BOOTH(E) - from division of his property after his 1835 death in Wake Co NC.

Zachariah [presumably son]
Timothy of Wake Co. NC
Polly Yeats (widow of Lewis) [Chatham Co NC]
Sarah Reach [wife of Washington Marshall of Wake Co.]
Wm. Yeats (infant) Wake Co.
Joseph Reach (of AL)
Willie Reach (of TN)
Betsy (Elizabeth) (wife of Berry Hill of AL)
Delia Reach (infant, died 1836: will named brothers as heirs and mother as executor)

Perhaps these names will help someone's research.

I don't know of anyone by that name directly but I do know that the Reach side of my family was from the Shelby county area of Alabama. My dad was born in Alabaster Alabama and raised in wilsonville. My great grandmother's name was onzell reach and unfortunately that's about as far as I can go back. Who knows maybe you can fill in some blanks.

My REACH ancestor married a HILL in North Carolina and ended up in Louisiana, but our families could still be connected back in Virginia. Meanwhile, I did find your grandmother's marriage record -

Shelby County Alabama 1927 – 1930 Marriage Record Index
Reach, Martis Stone, Onzelle 3/26/1927 page 11

- and also her Social Security record:

Onzell REACH
Birth Date: 25 Jun 1907 Alabama
Death Date: 17 May 1995 Pensacola, Escambia FL
Social Security Number: 420-01-2361

Also, her obituary may be available:

Index To Obituaries 1990 – 1999, The Shelby County Reporter, Shelby County Alabama
Reach, Onzell 12-Jul-95

The Shelby County Reporter also offered an interesting story about the REACH family:

Please let me know if you discover where your REACH family lived before they came to Alabama - thanks!

That is awesome info thank you so much. Onzell was my great grandmother and thelma was my grandmother's name but the dates don't add up unless they are referencing a different thelma in the story. I'm trying to find out some more info from my dad Michael. I will talk to him more about it and let you know if I find out anything helpful.

Martha -
Glad to hear you're researching our common ancestor Zachariah Reach/Rich 1775-1836. The dispersal information I posted in 2006 came from research on the 1830 census reports in states cited beside the names of each of Zacharaiah's children. I believe this information was listed in Zacharaiah's will.

When you're researching in Raleigh, the following sources may be especially useful:

Wake Co., NC Record of Wills, Inventories, Settlements of Estates. 1834- 1841, Volumes 23, 24
Zachariah Reach, Volume 24, pgs. 129-130, Microfilm: C.099.80010 [Division of Land between heirs including Dower]

Wake Co., NC Record of Wills, Inventories, Settlements of Estates. 1834- 1841, Volumes 23, 24
Zachariah Reach, Volume 23, p. 542, Microfilm: C.099.80010

Wake Co., NC Record of Wills, Inventories, Settlements of Estates. 1841-1850, Volumes 25, 26
Zachariah Reach, Volume 24, p. 178 [May Term 1838] Microfilm: C.099.80011

Wake Co., NC Record of Wills, Inventories, Settlements of Estates. 1841-1850, Volumes 25, 26
Guardian Return for William Reach ward of Zachariah Reach, Volume 25 p. 70 [February Term 1842] Microfilm: C.099.80011

Wake Co., NC Deed Book 15, p. 212 Deed: Rosanna Reach [ mark] to sons Zachariah & William Reach. 18 June 1842, Registered August Term 1842 Witness: Samuel Green & Jeremiah Morris Jurat

I have not worked with this line recently but will see if I have anything else to pass on to you, and of course I'd appreciate any information you have on the Reach/Rich family.
