Event Notes Note (1) Date on headstone is Dec 14 1906, but death record states Dec 13 1906. A report of his death occurring in Moundsville was almost certainly a result of confusing that city name with Morgansville, the community in Doddridge County where he lived. Note (2) Zachariah Offutt's headstone contains no military information. But his entry in "Doddridge County Cemeteries, Vol. II," p. 8, includes the following: "Military Information. Offnutt [sic], Col. Zachariah. Married Harriet Neely on 25 November 1855. WUR [West Union Record] 21 December 1906. Reprint WUR 16 December 1937. Page 4. Also WVHE [West Virginia Heritage Encyclopedia], Page 47." We have been unable to find any primary source, to include Civil War records on file at the U.S. National Archives (www.fold3.com), to confirm that Zachariah Offutt had any military service. Note (3) His death record states his date of death as Sep 1878, age 2. But "Doddridge County Cemeteries, Vol II," p. 8, reports his death date as Sep 27 1878, with birth date Apr 24 1878.Name Index
