Third Marriage
Zerelda married a third time, to Dr. Reuben Samuel (b. January 1829 – d. March 1, 1908), on September 25, 1855. Samuel has been described as "a quiet, passive man, was widely described as standing in the shadow of his outspoken, forceful wife". Dr. Reuben Samuel and Zerelda Samuel had four children:
- Sarah Louisa Samuel (b. April 7, 1858 - d. July 14, 1921)
- John Thomas Samuel (b. December 25, 1861 - d. March 15, 1934)
- Fanny Quantrill Samuel (b. October 18, 1863 - d. May 3, 1922)
- Archie Peyton Samuel (b. July 26, 1866 - d. January 26, 1875)
There has been some dispute as to the spelling of the surname "Samuel". Sometimes it is spelled "Samuels". However, the spelling "Samuel" is attested by birth records, family gravestones, and neighbor Homer Croy.
