Thanks very much. I did look at those census records that you mention. Actually, this Zachariah Wells father was Jacob Wells, b.1722, and his brother was Samuel Wells, b. 1720, and since I posted this question, I have confirmed that my ancestor was Samuel not Jacob, and Samuel's son was Henry Wells, b. before 1750 and his son was also named Zachariah Wells, b. between 1771-1780 Effingham Co. Georgia and d. 1836 Bryan Co. Georgia.
