John A. Logan Zachary 1885 - 1961



JOHN A. LOGAN ZACHARY was born August 15, 1885 in Overton County, Tennessee, and died November 01, 1961 in Fentress County, Tennessee. He married JULIA EVA WRIGHT circa 1906-1907. She was born January 06, 1890 in Fentress County, Tennessee, and died February 18, 1950 in Fentress County, Tennessee.  BOTH are buried in Taylor Place Cemetery, Fentress County, Tennessee.

(WEBSITE NOTE:  I can recall seeing John Logan Zachary only once in 1959 when I was 7-years-old.  If any family members have any stories to tell or photos to share, I’d love to make them part of this post.  Did he die in a house-fire or a barn-fire?  Was he a lifelong farmer or did he have other occupations?)

WALTER SIDWELL ZACHARY, b. May 12, 1916, Overton Co, Tennessee; d. January 26, 1985, Overton Co, Tennessee; m. MARY E. SLAVEN  (WEBSITE NOTE:  This is under revision)

(WEBSITE NOTE: yes, two Zachary brothers, Otha  and Walter, married two Slaven sisters)

CALLIE ANN ZACHARY was born on April 25, 1920 in Overton County, Tennessee.
(WEBSITE NOTE:  I have no further information on Callie Ann Zachary.  HELP!)

THOMAS CLAUDE ZACHARY, (WEBSITE NOTE:  I have also seen records with “CLAUSE” as the middle name, I believe “CLAUDE” is correct) was born on September 24, 1921, in Overton Co, Tennessee.  He died on December 24, 1921, in Overton County, Tennessee.

JOHNNIE PEARL ZACHARY was born April 3, 1924 in Livingston, Tennessee.  She died on March 26, 2011 in Lapel, Indiana.  She married Hubert Lavon Parks (WEBSITE NOTE: Date unknown).  She is buried in the Anderson Memorial Park Cemetery in Anderson, Indiana.

GABELLA RUTH ZACHARY, b. February 26, 1927, Fentress Co, Tennessee.

JULIA DELTA ZACHARY, b. September 22, 1932, Overton Co, Tennessee; d. May 11, 1934, Overton Co, Tennessee.

ZELTA ZACHARY, b. September 22, 1932, Overton Co, Tennessee; d. 1932, Overton Co, Tennessee.
(WEBSITE NOTE:  Do any family members have any information (or here-say) on Julia Delta Zachary and/or Zelta Zachary?  If the records I found are correct (many are not), it would appear they were twins; Zelta’s death is listed as the same year she was born, and Julia Delta’s death is listed as being 19-months after she was born.  It is possible that Zelta and Delta are the same child and that the records have been mangled together.)
