Zachariah Harris is on the 1830 Hurricane Montgomery Co IL census. He
obtained 3 land patents for land in Fayette Co IL in 1838.This is the
brother of Wooten referred to by Richard D. Brattin in an earlier post.
Below is a summary by another researcher of Zachariah and his daughter
Sarah. I do not have Zachariah's will. It is possible Zachariah and
Bathsheba were married in Franklin CO GA.

The families (Zachariah HARRIS, son, Ancil Mancil, daughters &
sons-in-law Elizabeth HARRIS & Thomas RHODES, and Sarah HARRIS & John GREEN)
moved together and settled in north Hurricane in Fayette Co., or Mongtomery
Co. IL near each other in 1829 (Fayette Facts, Vol. 13, #3, p. 51,). The

1830, next to his sons, Ancil Mancil and Benjamine, and sons-in-law, Thomas
and Anderson RHODES. John GREEN is listed in the Seminary Twp., Fayette Co.,

Bathsheba comes from Zachariah's will in which all heirs and spouses were
named.
