It depends upon which Joseph. If it is Joseph, husband of the Virgin Mary, then almost certainly.
We are told that Elizabeth was the wife of Zechariah (not Zachary as you suggested), and we are also told in Luke Ch 1 that Elizabeth was a 'relative' (probably a cousin) of the Virgin Mary, the wife of Joseph.
In a society where family bonds were much greater than today, it is inconceivable, therefore, that Zechariah and Josepg were not known to each other.
If, on the other hand, you mean Joseph of Arimathea, who provided the tomb in which Jesus was laid, and from which Jesus resurrected, then almost certainly Joseph did not know Zechariah. When John the Baptist was born Zechariah (and Elizabeth) were already very old. It is therefore certain that they did not live much after John's birth. Joseph of Arimathea does not come on the scene until Jesus was a grown man 30 years or so later, and so their paths would not have crossed. What is more, Joseph of Arimathea, though originally from Arimathea was settled in Jerusalem while John, Elizabeth and Zechariah, like Jesus, was from Galilee.
