    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
    pray with his sick daughter, Lydia.
