Thanks Denise for the info. Zach and Melinda were my uncle's gg-grandparents. Their daughter Annie Eliza was his g-grandmother. This isn't my line as my uncle is married to my mother's sister. My aunt and uncle have been researching their families for about 30 yrs and I have benefited from their years of research (big smile). I have the 1850, 1860 and 1870 census for Zach and Melinda, in the event you are missing any of these, I'd be happy to send them your way. i have no idea of Zach's parents either.
Thanks again
