Biography

There was a marriage between Zachariah Callaway and a Mary Orchard on December 20, 1793 in Minster, Cornwall, England as per this transcribed parish record:

MARRIAGE
Day Month 20-Dec
Year 1793
Parish Or Reg District Minster
Groom Fn Zachariah
Groom Sn CALLAWAY
Groom Residence Forrabury
Groom Rank Profession Blacksmith
Groom Signed / Marked (S/M) S
Bride Fn Mary
Bride Sn ORCHET
Bride Residence Minster
Bride Signed / Marked (S/M) M
Banns / Licence (B/L) B
Witness 1 Joseph Keals
Witness 2 John Orchet (mark)

Determining with certainty the identify of Mary Orchard is complicated by the fact that there are 2 ideal candidates:

1 -- Mary Orchard baptised July 9, 1769 in Trevalga, d/o Digory Orchard & Mary Warren [1]
2 -- Mary Orchard baptised November 12, 1770 in Trevalga, d/o John Orchard & Mary James [2]

Research Notes

(Number 1) Mary Orchard's sister Philippa and Digory were both baptised in Minster. Their parents Digory and Mary were married in St Juliot, a parish nearby Minster.[3]
(Number 2) Mary Orchard's parents John & Mary were married in Forrabury which is next to Minster and at that time John was a resident of Trevalga.[4]

It is noted that one of the witnesses to the marriage of Mary Orchard to Zachariah Callaway was a John Orchard who made his mark X --- perhaps it was a relative? or, perhaps just a friend?

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Mary by comparing test results with other carriers of her ancestors' mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known mtDNA test-takers in her direct maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Mary:
