Sallie or Dorothy Shackelford

Who did Zachariah marry?

Zachariah's wife is called "Dolly" in his DAR file. Dolly was commonly a nickname for Dorothy in that era. The Shackelford family trees list his wife as Dorothy. However, the Embree/Embry DAR files list his wife as "Sallie," a common nickname of that time for Sarah. Neither name appears in the will of John Embree, supposed father-in-law of Zachariah. For now, both Dorothy and Sallie will be used on his wife's profile, until more information can be found.
