    Notes:

    From Sears Genealogy, pp. 102-103:

    Zachariah Sears, amd wife Mehitable, were adm. to 2nd Ch., Yarmouth, Aug. 5, 1750.

    He was a Lieut. in the Militia, and active in town and church affairs; was Constable, 1755; and Surveyor of Highways, 1765.

    Rev. E. H. Sears says he removed to Windham, Ct., but I find nothing to confirm the statement, and his descendants are quite sure he never lived there. He died and was buried in North Dennis, Mass.

    In 1778, he writes from Yarmouth to his son Roland, at Ashfield, intimating that he was an old man; that his wife was living; that he had sons Zachariah and Roland, and several daughters; that his son Zachariah, was a sea faring man, and on a voyage to the West Indies with"Capt. Tailor of hianus"; addressed. "Roland Sears living at Ashfield, Yrs. to the Lord".

    Gen. C. W. Sears, of Univ., Miss., and Solo. F. Sears of Ann Arbor, Mich., have old family letters and papers from 1770.

    He made his will Oct 26, 1786, and mentions his wife, (but does not give her name), children, Peter, Roland, Joseph, Bethia Howes, Mehitable Sears, and Hannah Crowell; gave the homestead to son Joseph. Peter and Joseph, Exrs.

    Oct. 3, 1755, Lt. Zachary Sears in com. "to see Mr. Dennis".

    Oct. 16, 1760, Mr. Zachary Sears to procure wood for Mr. Dennis.

    Aug. 24, 1761, allotted pew next to men's alley for £170, old tenor.

    Feb. 9, 1763, "Mr. Zachary Sears paid £170 for his pue."
