Biography

Zacheus Waldo was born on 19 Jul 1725 in Windham, Windham, Connecticut He was the son of Edward and Thankful Dimmock Waldo. Zacheus died on 10 Sep 1810 and was buried at "Old Scotland Cemetery (North)", in Scotland, Windham, Connecticut. His first wife is sometimes noted incorrectly as "Tabitha" Kingsbury Waldo.

Some of the Children of Zacheus and Talitha:

CYPRIAN (ZIPHORAM) (1747 - 1797)

ZACHEUS JR. (1756 - 1834)
JOSEPH
TALITHA
DANIEL (1762- 1864)
MARY
EBENEZER
OZIAS
More about Zacheus and Talitha's twelve children is found on page 142 of Waldo Lincoln's "Genealogy of the Waldo Family." These twelve children are coded using the Lincoln system providing an easy way to trace each person back to Cornelius Waldo and Hanna Cogswell, the American Waldo progenitors. "Talitha" is the correct spelling according to Lincoln.

Waldo Lincoln describes Zacheus's record in Wills and his involvement in the Separatist Church, an on-going conflict that the majority of Zacheus's family including parents and siblings were embroiled in. There is much more about the Separatist conflict at Zacheus's father, Edward's profile.

Lincoln writes that Zacheus had a second wife Catherine, the widow of Moses Graves . Catherine's last name at birth is yet undiscovered. The likely year of this marriage was 1790, and it is thought to have occurred in Connecticut.

Zacheus and his son Zacheus Jr. show up on the 1790 US Census at Windham with 7 and 6 in their separate households. There are two females in the father Zacheus's house, one of whom may be Catherine Graves Waldo. There are 4 younger males in his household. [1] [2]

"Not all that Genevieve Waldo had learned reflected well on her family. The inventories in the attic’s trunks listed Zacheus’ furniture, books, oxen, boots, and an elderly slave couple of the 1750’s. Gennie knew that the house was old not only in age but in ideas. Connecticut after all had the largest number (3,000) slaves in New England at the eve of the Revolution. Like leading families of the time, Zacheus’ family had a male slave to help build stone walls or cut firewood outside and had a female slave to spin the wool and clean the house inside. Gennie knew the profound effect that this institution had on the slaves and on those who fought it. Her father was among the earliest abolitionists, joining the American Anti-Slavery Society in 1833. He worked, lived and studied with freed slaves in abolitionist schools in the 1830s and sought immediate unequivocal emancipation. His ideas would have been considered peculiar if not radical by the vast majority of Americans at that time. But he believed deeply, 'Jehovah would triumph and free his people'."[3]

Last Will

Zacheus wrote his last Will on Feb 12 1795 and it was proved on Sept 17 1810. In it he mentions his wife Catharine, six sons, and various others. His estate is valued at $4948.14. [4] More Detail at Waldo Lincoln source.

There was a Death Notice for Zacheus printed in the Middlesex Gazette, Issue 20 Sep 1810

Note: http://ourwebsite.org/nevins/nevins-p/p10.shtml#i227. This site reports that his wife was Tallatha-Tabatha Kingsbury (d. 1789) and that they had a daughter, Ruth (b. 28 Nov 1748, d. 27 Dec 1834).
