Biography

Mary Susannah Hobby is most likely not the mother of Zachariah Story's children. All children were born before their marriage and she is likely too old to have had so many births so close together. No first wife for Zachariah has been found, but it is likely that a first marriage occurred in South Carolina, since this is where is first two children were born.

More likely wife is Mary Shaw who matches age of Zachariah and is buried in same cemetery and listed as mother of at least three children by Find a Grave. one of Zachariah's daughters marries a Shaw

Zachariah was born in 1732. He passed away in 1811. He is buried in the Bangall Baptist Church #1 Cemetery, Dutchess County, New York, USA.^[1]
