Zebulon Metcalf was the son of Benjamin Metcalf and his wife Sarah Abell of CT.
He married Lydia Bourn of CT and they had six children that lived to adulthood.
Lydia Bourn Metcalf died in CT in 1779.
Zebulon married his cousin, Mary Abell Clark, widow of Jared Clark, who died in 1775.
Sometime (some researchers claim 1794) before 1800 Zebulon and his second wife Mary and their combined family of sixteen children (many of them married with families of their own)came to Otsego County.
Some of Zebulon's family went to the further western NYS counties, and some went south to Delaware County.
Eventually the family owned four adjoining farms in Otsego Township in an area that became known as Metcalf Settlement.
Zebulon wrote his will in 1799, providing for his wife Mary and five of his children who still remained in the area.
He died three years later in 1802, and was buried in the small Cemetery established in their settlement high atop a wide ridge still known today, after more than 200 years, as Metcalf Hill.
He married Lydia Bourn of CT and they had six children that lived to adulthood.

Gravesite Details
The Metcalf section of the Pierstown Cemetery is in sad shape. A few stones are able to be read, but most are buried broken shards; but many Metcalf reasearchers agree that Zebulon was buried here.
