Research Notes

1. At first, it may appear Elizabeth (Zachary) Collins may eventually need to be merged to/with ... or de-conflated from ... this profile. Be careful though, as the profile manager for this profile, Zachary-39, is starting to see content indicating there may actually be two different couples with names Elizabeth Zachary & Moses Collins (with some conflation going on between the two Elizabeth Zacharies.) (i.e. Even if there are 2 different couples with the same names, I don't think both of the wives have the same birth and death dates!)

Note most of the sources currently listed in the Zachary-95 profile are not primary sources. The bulk of the information comes from some else's family tree, which in turn might or might not be sourced ...

2. Elizabeth's parents are thought to be Benjamin & Elizabeth Odom Zachary. Her parents cannot be Benjamin & Elizabeth Odom Zachary, or each parent has incorrect birth years in their profile. Elizabeth's parents cannot have been born about 1775 if she was born about 1782-1784. This profile's current profile manager is therefore disconnecting Elizabeth from the parents mentioned until this can be cleared up.

3. According to the description at FindAGrave for the Moses Collins Jr. Cemetery, Elizabeth Zachary Collins has one of the two known graves in the Collins family plot at this location. She is described there as Moses Collins Jr.'s first wife and the mother of 11 children including John Hampton Collins and Moses Zachary Collins. She was daughter to Benjamin & Elizabeth Odom Zachary and was born about 1784, married 26May1802 in Richmond County, Georgia and died in 1827 in Hinds County, Mississippi.

4. The description at FindAGrave for the Moses Collins Jr. Cemetery and the description at FindAGrave for Elizabeth Zachary Collins' mention different birth years. The Cemetery description states 1784 while the personal memorial states 1782. For now, the date in the personal memorial, 1782, is used in this profile.

Elizabeth's FindAGrave entry mentions a son by name not mentioned in the Cemetery entry at FindAGrave: Caul John Collins.

Birth may be in 1782 in Barnwell Co., South Carolina.
