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.
