It's Family Time~Zechariah T. Deese

 Zechariah T. Deese was the youngest of four sons born to Samuel Deese and Sarah 'Sallie' Deese. If you believe the birth date on his tombstone and as recorded in the 1900 census for Anson County; Zechariah was born in October 1854. However this does not explain how he came to be included in the 1850 Census as a two year old. 

At age 42, Zechariah married Clara W. Gathings daughter of William W. Gathings and Charlotte Jones, on 22 December 1890 in Morven, Anson County, North Carolina. To this union was born five children; two sons and three daughters.
