Zillah was born in Knox County, Ohio to William and Elinor (Toothman) Schooler. She married Melvin Wolfe there May 18, 1836. I’ve not discovered when her husband had died, but she was a widow when she remarried in 1888 to James R. Watson, a resident of Mount Ephraim, Noble County, Ohio. He was a widower, as well, with records showing his 1st wife (a Bates), died out west. Sadly, he passed away in 1926. She married one last time in 1928, as noted below:

June 9th, 1928: Both being widowed, Isaac and Zillah married. Isaac (known as I.V.) registered his occupation as a Deputy Sheriff, living in Byesville (Noble Co.), Ohio. He was born in Noble County to James H. and Adaline (Dougherty) Wilson. Zillah M. Watson registered her occupation as Housekeeper, living in Byesville (Noble Co.), Ohio.
