    Zephaniah Holcomb, the son of Return Holcomb and Jerusha Adams.

    Zephaniah Holcomb died in Otsego County, New York. He married (1) in Columbia County, New York in 1772 Tryphena Niles, and they had four children, all born in Spencertown. She died in Columbia County, New York April 1777. He married (2) on 10 June 1779 Mehitable Wetmore, born 7 Nov 1759, died 2 September 1836, and they had eleven children.

    Zephaniah Holcomb served seven years in the American Revolution, having become Assistant Paymaster in the command of General George Washington after having entered the army as a private in Captain Abner Hawley's Company, 8th Regiment, Albany County, New York militia. He is recorded in the 1790 U.S. Census of Hillsdale, Columbia County, as head of a family of two males over 16, five males under 16, and two females. Zephaniah Holcomb is enumerated in the town of Butternuts in 1800 and is found in a neighborhood several miles south of Barnabas Kinney, along the lower end of the Butternut Creek. He is referred to as "Capt. Holcomb" on the Tax Assessment records, 1800, 1801, 1802, 1803, and General Store records 1802. He also appears in another General Store record for 1815, 1816, 1817 along with his son Abner.

    Zephaniah removed from Butternuts, Otsego, Co, NY to Norwich County, NY, some time after 1817, where he is enumerated on the 1820 US Census in Norwich, Chenango Co, NY.

    After Zephaniah's death, in March 1822,nearly all of his children had moved to other parts of New York and/or Gallia County, Ohio.

    He may be buried somewhere in Norwich, most likely on the family farm. A relative wrote and said he was here.
