Deacon Zenophon Janes followed more nearly in the path of his honored father than either of his brothers, all of whom carried themselves honorably through life. He was chosen town clerk, and held the office through the balance of his natural life, as did his father. He was also an officer in the church, and a representative in the general court as was his father. He maintained a good standing in whatever position he was called to occupy.
He was universally regarded as a man of worth, of sterling integrity, and unflinching justice. Social in habit, he cultivated a large acquaintance, and from the households of numerous relatives, there was a constant contribution of company to the old fireside, and sometimes to repletion. The numerous relatives and friends always found a warm welcome around this domestic hearthstone. The hand of kindness was always extended to the less fortunate, and Christian love generally shone in this domestic circle, during a period of many changes in the domestic realm, and the many dark shadowings of time. When death threw his sable mantle over a mourning household, the mind that had counseled and the heart that had loved, was indeed hushed in the silent shadows of death. The nine children were all then living, and some of them had large families.
He married Sarah (Sally) Patrick of Windsor, Vt., 27 January 1796. She was born November, 1775, and died 3 May, 1814. He married (2) Tirzah Childs of Deerfield, 6 January, 1824. She died 5 April, 1858. He died 21 October, 1829.
