Nancy, I have been researching Zachariah Lancaster for several years now and reach a dead end when I get to the Bohannon's.But my theory is that Zachariah Bohannon's oldest daughter was married to Zachariah Lancaster's father.I also believe that Zachariah Bohannon's wife Martha "Patsey" Lancaster Bohannon is related to the part of the Lancaster family that Zachariah Lancaster's father came from.
On the 1870 census Zachariah Lancaster and his mother were living with Zachariah Bohannon and family in Washington County, MO.Z. Lancaster was age 3, his mother age 31 (this age by the way fits perfectly with the age Z. Bohannon's oldest daughter would be and she is no longer showing as living in his household).On the census you cannot make out the name of Z. Lancaster's mother.However, she is said to be keeping house and she is a widow.
On the 1880 census Z. Lancaster and his mother are still living with the Bohannon's.It appears the census takers spelled his mothers name as Semira, but I question that this is correct because they spelled by phonetics and made their letters differently than we do today.
I have a lot of information (to include pictures) on Zachariah Lancaster as he is my husbands grandfather.I would give anything to find out who his father was as I think this would really open up the early history of the Lancaster's and their association with the Bohannon's.I have corresponded with another cousin of Z. Lancaster's and her grandfather spoke often of the Bohannon connection.However, she did not think to question him before he died and now that she is in to genealogy she wishes she had.
Let me know what specific information you need, and I would very much appreciate any input you may have to help solve this puzzle.
