Orin:
I checked Grayson County records and found absolutely nothing
concerning Zachariah Wells. I checked marriages, deeds, censuses, and tax
lists. During the time he was supposedly there, there was no Grayson County.

Has anyone tried to look into this for further clues/confirmation?

I am unfamiliar with this work. Is there anything in it that identifies
his ancestry beyond what we have seen elsewhere?

was also James Wells from Somerset England.<<
Actually, he was the third generation. But, this family is not connected
to Zachariah as far as we can tell despite the published information to the
contrary.
