Notes - Mary was mentioned in will of grandfather Samuel Tibbetts as "Mary Corsen". On Ap. 17, 1742, "Mary Corson, daughter of Capt. Samuel Tibbets of Dover, deceased, conveyed to Capt. John Wallingford all right and title to an eighty-acre grant to said Samuel in the Salmon Falls Woods."
Zebulon was in the army in 1746 when the family was living in Somersworth, near Dover. He and Mary moved upriver to nearby Lebanon, York Co. ME in their later years with most of their adult children. Zebulon was baptized as an adult by the Rev. Hasey in June 1773. In July and Aug. of that year Hasey was at Zebulon's house to pray with his sick daughter Lydia.
On Jul 28, 1784 the Rev. Hasey wrote that 'Zebulon Corson said he heard a chorus of Angels' and after he became speechless that he "visited and prayed with him.
Zebulon was described as a laborer and died from "decay of nature". Mary died at the home of son Moses.

Name: Zebulon CORSON
Sex: M
Birth: 17 JUN 1712 in Dover, Strafford County, New Hampshire 1
Death: 28 APR 1786 in Lebanon, Maine 1
Note:
Zebulon was a laborer, and his wife, Mary, were both of the Somersworth
section of Dover, New Hampshire, sold to Thomas Wallingford of the same
town, for 25 pounds (British) that portion of an 80 acre grant not yet sold or disposed of that had been originally granted to Captain Samuel Tebbets, Mary's grandfather, and conveyed to her father, Samuel Tebbets and inherit-
ed by Zebulon and Mary. The deed was witnessed by G. Wentworth and M.
Hogden. The deed was signed by the 'X' marks of Zebulon and Mary, dated
April 17, 1742 and recorded on February 16, 1745. Zebulon was in the Somersworth Army under the command of Captain Thomas Wallingford as of
July 23, 1746. Zebulon was apparently residing at the time in the Rochester/Somersworth area of Dover, New Hampshire. (Somersworth was
only an administrative district of Dover). He later moved from there and sometime before 1766 was an early settler at Lebanon, Maine. This was
according to the journals of Reverend Isaac Hasey. Hasey was at Zebulon's
on February 4, 1773 and again on February 11, 1773. On April 5, 1773, reference is made to Zebulon having Hasey's horse to go to Pine Hill, in
Berwick, Maine. Zebulon was baptized as an adult by Rev. Hasey on June
27, 1773. Rev. Hasey was at Zebulon's house again on August 2, 1773, to
