Date: 5/9/2002, 5:05 am
Looking for any desendants of Zacariah Godfrey. Born in Alabama 1825 possibly died in Texas in 1870. He married Martha Mays(es)(have large b/w picture of her.)She already had three children by a George G. Mayes(slave owner)from Tennessee. Mary Etta,Peter Adolphus,Monte Mayes. These 3 children were of caucasian lineage. The children she had by Zacariah were:Jeff,Lazarus,Solomon-Saul(Sol),Samatha,Rachel,Martha(Mag),Leon F. and Amelia/Permelia(Mettie/Melie),Margaret,Martha (6ys)GODFREY. She donated a large parcel of land to the local church for a cemetary and is buried there in the cemetary that bears her name. Located in the county of Chambers Double Bayou,Texas. I can't seem to get any more information about g-g-grandpa Zachiah. Amelia was my g-grandmother and she married an Alex VanLieu and had g-ma Annis Inez. G-ma Annis married Rev. John Andrew Carrington from Shepherd, Texas. According to the census report Permelia is listed as a Brown with two children 1.Lazario(8yr) 2.Tanny or Fanny A. Brown. Also list a Jake Brown as possible husband)I know these people had offspring that are out there that know something about their family history.
If any of these names appear in you family tree please contact me to help me add to my family tree
