"Zachariah Riley was a son of Gerard and Frances ( Wright) Riley of Surry County, North Carolina. Frances was a daughter of Capt.John Wright and Ann ( Williams) Wright and a sister to Isaac Elsberrys's wife, Agatha Wright.

One of these married a man named Hedspath who became a Tory Captain" "KInship had to be disregarded in those trying times. Isaac was a patriot and on hearing on that Capt. Hedspath had returned from his command to viist his family, Isaac planned to capture or kill him. Hedspath was warned of his damger and fled for refuge into one of those dismal swamps, being hard pressed one moonlight night by Isaac and his little squad of patriots, he law down on his back in shallow wateer simply leaving his nose above the water.After the war was over he told of the night of terror and his narrow escape. He said he saw Isaac and his party pass within a few feet of him and he was so frightened that his black hair turned gray" "Isaac Elsberry married Agaha Wright( dau. of John Wright who had married Ann Williams" Page 244 Isaac Elsberry's father died prior to 1803.
