    Note that even though Zach was reported as only 9 months old in November 1850, in 1860 he is reported as 12 years old.  Even better, in the 1900 census he is reported as 60 years old, making him born in18409, not 1850.  The 1900 census reports his birthday as Dec 1840.

    Several records under the name of Taylor Barnett appear to refer to Zachary Taylor Barnett.

    Some report him as a Civil War veteran.  He could have served but would have been only about 13 or 14.  The record indicates he was in a Tennessee regiment for the USA.  I have not found any Civil War record for his father Jorial Barnett.  But Zach's induction into service in the USA army in Tennessee in November 1864 seems odd, since the Barnetts were enumerated in Illinois in 1860.  This might be a different Taylor Barnett.  But the connection with Tennessee fits.  If this is the same person, Zachary would have traveled back to Tennessee to enlist, rather than enlisting in an Illinois Regiment, seems a little strange.

    The Taylor Barnett who served in the Tennessee Union Mounted Infantry moved to Oregon where he died.  The information on his wife matches Zachary Taylor Barnett's wife, Sarah.  Civil War pension records report her as Sarah A J Barnett, widow of Taylor Barnett.

    The 7th Tennessee Mounted Infantry was a Union regiment organized in Tennessee late int eh war.

    The Z T (Zachary Taylor) Barnett in this mariage report seems to be the same perosn as Taylor Barnett who married Sara Nicols (Duckett), and is so reproted by numeros genealogies.  Public records correlate well.  He and Sarah were married in Hill Countym, Texas, wher his grandfather Jorile Barnett was enumerated in 1870.  (I have not found Jorile in 1880)  However, it is odd that they were married in Texas then appear in 1880 back in the county where Taylor was born, Monroe County, Tennessee.

    Taylor's funeral was ordered (paid for?) by Baker County, Oregon. This must have been a pauper's funeral.

    Sarah's related funeral card has her name as Sarah H Barnett.  This card gives us further information that might indicate this Sarah and Taylor are a different couple from our Zachary Taylor Barnett and Sarah Nichols.  Sarah's funeral card reports more family information including Sarah's parents' names.  Her father is reported as John A Duckett, whereas the name of Zachary Taylor Barnett's wife was reported on their marriage record as Sarah Nichols.  The name Nichols might have been a previous married name, accounting for the name difference.

    Sarah's name on the Funeral Card is Sarah H Barnett, while her grave and the memorial on Find a Grave, as well as the photo of her gravestone,  have her name as Sarah A Barnett, matching the Civil War pension record name of Sarah A J Barnett..  In the 1900 census she was Sarah Ann.  I have found nothing further on the additonal initial J.
