His son, Taylor Z. Haynes, died of smallpox while away from home and his burial place is unknown. The burial place of his daughter, Mary Ann, is also unknown. Another daughter, Evelyn Ivy, married Louis N. Inness and is buried in Janes Cemetery, Ravenden Springs, Arkansas.

Zachariah came from Arab, Alabama and enlisted in the 8th Alabama Infantry at 20 years of age. He fought through many battles of the Civil War, and was wounded and captured by the Yankees on July 3, 1863 at Gettysburg, PA. He was taken to Letterman Hospital to treat his wounds and then transported to Point Lookout, Maryland, Confederate prisoner camp where he remained until he took oath and was parolled. He was given transport to Nashville, TN. He met Elizabeth F Crouse in Rutherford County, TN and they were married there on Feb. 14, 1866. They went to Imboden, Arkansas with family members to look for land to farm and settled in Opposition, Arkansas, a town which no longer exists. It died out after Ravenden won the fight to have the railroad.

In 1914 after Lizzie's death, he returned to Georgia to reunite with his family, who had not seen him since he left for the war and thought he was lost. That's where the family was holding a big reunion and welcomed him back with gladness.
