Pleasant Jasper Zachary 1841 - 1929

Pleasant Jasper ZACHARY Co. C 1st Ky Cav. U.S. 

Dad copied some information from a Family Bible years ago when he was at a family funeral.  Some of the information is slightly different than other records and may be due to transcription errors (such as the year of birth for Margaret E. Tranbarger as being 1841).  Further, Dad had Jasper Pleasant Zachary written as Pleasant J. Zachary, which most records show as incorrect for this branch and generation.  Other than my correcting that for this transcription, I believe the following is how my Father had transcribed it. 


Pleasant Jasper Zachary 2-22-1841
Margaret E. Tranbarger 5/14/1841 <--- NOTE:  Others have this as 1843
Married 6/13/1869 by James Cope J.P. in Oakley Tennessee

Children: 
Nancy Alice Zachary     9/29/1870 <-my Mom said married name was Richardson 
James Alec Zachary       9/18/1872 
Mary Pamelia Zachary  6/16/1874 <-my Mom said married name was Sullivan 
Sarrah Susan  Zachary  2/22/1876 
Saphrona Ellen Zachary 12/9/1877 <-my Mom said married name was Huddleston .  
(AKA  "Phronie" or "Fronie")
Berthey Helen Zachary   3/31/1879 
Mandy Palestine Zachary  1/18/1881 <-my Mom said Mandy was blind and a small in stature.  
(Also recorded elsewhere as Amanda Palestine Zachary)
Thomas Grant Zachary   5/19/1883 
John A. Logan Zachary   8/15/1885 
Bettie Harrison Zachary 10/18/1888 <-married name may have been Johnson

Notes from the transcription:  
John A. Logan Zachary was named for General John A. Logan of the Union Army
Pleasant Jasper Zachary fought in the Civil War for the Union Army
Father of Pleasant Jasper Zachary was Jack Zachary from North Carolina <--- NOTE:  This may be conjecture by Dad or others.  I do not think it was in the Bible that copied from.  It does not match records by others.
Mother of Jasper Pleasant Zachary was Nancy Jane Smith NOTE: One of the great mysteries is who exactly the wife of John (Jack) Zachary (mother of Jasper Pleasant) was.  Some records say, Nancy UNKNOWN; others are Nancy DIXON, Nancy CRAIBORN, Nancy CLAIBORN, Nancy CLAIBOURN, Nancy CLAYBORN, and Dad's transcription has her as Nancy Jane SMITH.  I am going to make a leap of faith and assume her middle name was JANE since one of her daughters was Nancy Jane.
Father of Margaret E. Tranbarger was Jim Tranbarger from Virginia - Germany
Mother of Margaret E. Tranbarger was Mary Magdenlene Sells

More of my Mom's memory: Mandy Palestine Zachary chewed tobacco.  Mom once told of a family story that Mandy was not allowed to chew if the Preacher was visiting.  On one such occasion, blind Mandy asked the person sitting next to her "Is that Preacherman gone yet?"  The preacher leaned over to Mandy and said "No, not yet".

I believe Mom also said that Mandy wrote a song titled something like "There are no blind in Heaven."

Mom and Dad said that Thomas Zachary never married; took care of his mother until she died.  Lived alone in the woods in a dirt-floor cabin near Dale Hollow Lake.  Self sustained by hunting, fishing, etc.  Was around 77 years old when he moved in with his sisters Saphrona (called Aunt Fronie) and Bettie Harrison.
