Notes:

In 1748 and 1749 his name appears on a petition with his father, Jonathan Farren, asking to be set off from South Hampton, New Hampshire and annexed to Newtown, New Hampshire. In 1749 he and his wife Alice renewed their baptismal covenant in the Amesbury Second Church. In 1755 he signed a petition at Newtown, New Hampshire for opening Highways.

Sometime before 1761 he moved to Sandown, New Hampshire. On 23 FEB 1764 the town votes to Zebulon Ferren all the common land on the upper end of his land. At the same meeting he is one of three names acknowledging receipt of full satisfaction for a highway going through their land. They were probably members of the Congregational Church in Sandown. The Congregational Society was organized in 1759, although the Meeting House was not built until 1774.

There is no trace of Zebulon after 1764 on any New Hampshire records. He undoubtedly left New Hampshire at least by 1767 when his wife Alice died. In FEB 1768, when his father died, his father gives only a modest bequest to "his well beloved son Zebulon" but leaves land in Sandown to Zebulon's three sons.

Zebulon married Alice Tucker on 9 Jul 1747 in Sandown, Rockingham County, New Hampshire. Alice (daughter of Benjamin Tucker and Alice Davis) was born in 1721 in Amesbury, Essex County, Massachusetts; died in 1767 in Sandown, Rockingham County, New Hampshire. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

• Military Service: 12 Apr 1776, Weare, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire; American Revolution

Notes:

In 1768, in the will of his grandfather, Jonathan FARREN [F1952], he is bequeathed one-half of three-quarters of 40 acres in Sandown, New Hampshire, but no record is known of its disposition. He appears on the Newtown (now Newton), New Hampshire tax lists in 1770 through 1774.

He married (1) in 1773 probably in Newtown, New Hampshire Mary CURRIER [F489]. His first child's birth is recorded there 19 NOV 1773.

On 18 MAY 1774 "Enos Ferren of Newtown, yeoman, buys of Jacob Tuxbury of Weare, N. H., 60 acres of land in said Weare for the sum of forty one pounds eight shillings." This land was in lot No. 41, range No. 1, and on the map of Weare, New Hampshire. It was in the southwest part of the town near the Francestown line. The old cellar hole was still seen in 1916.

Of his service in the Revolutionary War, the following has been found. His name is inscribed on a tablet in the Stone Memorial Building in Weare in memory of Weare men who served in the Revolution. In the "Town History of Weare, from a footnote on page 195, he was one of twelve men that Weare sent to Cambridge in 1775 for six weeks. This was in response to the alarm sounded by Paul Revere and others on 18 APR 1775, or shortly thereafter. He was one of eight men that Weare again sent to Cambridge for six weeks in 1776. On 7 APR 1777, a committee voted that "those who had paid out anything for the year should bring in their bills to this Committee who shall find out how much each should be allowed." Enos Ferren was allowed 1:7 for his services in 1775 and allowed __?__ dollars per month for his services in 1776. The "History of Weare" states that Weare men for the most part only saw camp service at Cambridge.

Enos remained in Weare about 5 years, and in OCT 1779 sold his land to Moses Eastman. Tradition says Enos removed to Chester, New Hampshire for a couple of years. This may mean "New Chester" which was the old name for Bristol, as some descendants relate that Enos walked from "Chester to Alexandria" searching for a place to build a house. He found a site on the hill road between Bristol and Alexandria, now known as the Atwood farm, and built a log house for himself and his family. It was the only house on this road. His wife Mary died about 1787 and was buried there, the first person buried in Alexandria. Her remains were afterwards removed to the Blake Fowler Place. Enos next moved to a part log house opposite the Henry Bailey place. When Enos first came here he had in his hand a willow cane cut by himself.

He put it in the ground just below the old Aaron Sleeper place on the right side of the road from Bristol to Alexandria. It sprouted and grew to be a large tree that was standing until recent times.

On 10 JUL 1781 Enos bought one third part of a lot of land of Jonas Minot in Alexandria, numbered 26 in the first division of lots. He lived in Alexandria, New Hampshire from 1781 to 1798. He was among those signing the petition of 10 JUN 1782 asking to be incorporated. On 23 NOV 1782 this request was granted.

He married (2) OCT 1788 at Alexandria, New Hampshire to Judith CORLISS, widow of David CROSS. They were married by Pastor Whipple. She had five children. Their children were about the same age and were brought up in the same household.

Enos appears often in the town records until 1798. On 4 JUL 1798 he swapped farms with William Crawford of Hebron, New Hampshire. From then until his death he appears in the Hebron town records. He is referred to from that time in as Deacon Enos Ferrin.

He died 3 MAR 1811 at East Hebron, Grafton County, New Hampshire; and was buried on his property there, with a common field stone to mark his grave. In 1916 a bronze tablet was erected in his memory.

Notes:

In 1802 he received a deed from his father Enos for land in Hebron, near his brother Aaron. This was evidently on the East Hebron shore of Newfound Lake and likely part of his father's farm. However, he must have already owned land in 1799, since he appears on the Hebron tax list in 1799. He is on the tax lists until 1809. He is not on the lists in 1810 and 1811, but reappears from 1812 until 1815. Deed records show that for those two years he had sold his land in Hebron and moved to Orange, New York. He then sold the land in New York and moved back to Hebron.

They then sold their land again in Hebron in 1815 and started in the fall by oxcart for New York. He first settled in Sardinia, near Concord (which is now Springville), Erie County, New York. He resided at Sardinia until sometime between the censuses of 1830 and 1840, when he moved into Concord. He settled on Lot 52, range 6, township 7, and lived there until his death.
