BIOGRAPHY: Larry Chesebro http://

1. Zebulon's father died when he was about four years old and his mother
married Asa Frink who came to Brookfield, New York in 1795 when it was
formed from Chenango County. This area was a part of twenty townships
created in 1788 when purchased from the Oneida Indians as part of the
Town of Whitestown, Montgomery County. Many settlers came to the
Brookfield area from Connecticut and Rhode Island on the first highways.
They came in Conestoga Wagons and built log cabins until sawmills could
be erected and frame dwellings constructed. Brookfield Village was first
called Bailleys Corners.
BIOGRAPHY: 2. Zebulon's ancestors had been active in the Baptist Church
at North Stonington, Connecticut where his great grandfather was a
Deacon. The new settlers founded the first Baptist Church in Brookfield
(then Clarksville) in 1798. The records from this church have been lost.
BIOGRAPHY: 3. In 1806 Madison County was formed from Chenango and
Brookfield became a township in Madison County. In 1807 Zebulon cleared
off a l/2 acre site near Brookfield Village which is no doubt where he
and Sarah raised nine children. They lived in the area of Gorton Lake on
one of the earliest remembered farms. When examining the deeds of Madison
County, it was found that in 1830 a Zebulon Brown purchased land in lot
47 in the town of Brookfield. In a deed recorded in 1831, Zebulon and his
wife "Sally" sold thirty-three acres on Beaver Creek, being a part of lot
57 in the 19th township which was Brookfield. It is not known whether
this is the same Zebulon since there were two Zebulon Browns in
Brookfield at that time. However, on the 21st day of March in 1854,
Zebulon and his wife, Sarah, sold seventy-one acres of lot 47 in the 19th
township. This appears to be Zebulon and the same who purchased the land
in 1830.
BIOGRAPHY: 4. In 1850, Zebulon and Sarah were living in Brookfield and
two children remained at home; John, who was twenty-one, and Eunice who
was sixteen. They probably lived on the same property as their son
Alonzo. Two census reports from that year show conflicting information.
The first report lists Alonzo and his family in a separate dwelling,
whereas, the second report shows the entire family of eight individuals
living in the same dwelling. Zebulon was 68 and Sarah was 58. By 1860,
the two families are shown living in the same dwelling. In 1865 the
family is still together, and listed in Columbus, Chenango County
