Thanks Steve ! That would prove the same children listed in his 1850 Harris Co GA
household were also in Harrison Co TX and based on preponderance of evidence is good
enough for to be that Zach of Harrison TX was the same man of Harris Co. GA.

Donna,
Online marriage records (GenWeb) of Harrison Co TX show that Abigail,
Rebecca F, and Mary J CARPENTER all married in 1857. It shows Abigail
marrying a Henry "CRAN" but this should be CRAVER. Rebecca married Joseph
CRAVER. They stayed in Harrison Co. Abigail applied for a Confederate
widow's pension. Mary J CARPENTER married (according to the online
records) a David H LAW. I have as yet found no further record of them and
suspect that "LAW" was probably mis-transcribed.
Of course the name "Abigail" always sets off bells for me 8^)
Steve
