Nancy,
I cannot positively say that Zachariah was NOT married before he
married Ellender Boyd, but I don't think he was.
Nor do I know if Ellender was a widow when she married Zachariah.
Zachariah Callaway was the son of William Callaway, Sr (formerly
William Callaway, Jr.) of Sussex Co, Delaware. This relationship is
proved by the following record published in "Store Accounts of John
Nelms of Salisbury, 1758-1787," by John E. Jacob, Jr., 1990 -
published by Family Line Publications, Westminster, MD. -
