| Notes | ||
In 1851, Zachariah David is living in Kingston Township, Frontenac, Ontario. According to genealogist Wilman Davis, "Zachariah died at the age of 67 from a bad cut he received while sharpening a scythe -- a wound that 'would not heal.' Neither Zachariah nor Rebecca were educated -- there being no schools available. Yet they could speak both English and Dutch. ... Zachariah was a religious man, a lay preacher of Wesleyan Methodism." |
