"Zebulon Norton, the youngest son of Sylvester, took up the farm situated on the road from North Lvermore to the Falls, about three-quarters of a mile from the former place, upon which he resided till his death in October, 1865, at the age of eighty-eight years."
"Mr. Norton was a selectman for many years, and was a man of strict integrity and great firmness of character; a man who could not only say "no" when duty or principle required, but who was not easily moved from his opinions. once at a school meeting when his brother Ransom pleaded earnestly for the use of the school-house for the purpose of holding a religious meeting, and besought the voters to be accommodating and not stubborn and set up their own wills against their neighbors, "Uncle Zeb," as he was familiarly called, replied,"I had rather have my own will than anyboy else's will, and so had you, brother Ransom." The point against "brother Ransom," who was not unlike "Uncle Zeb" in the firmness with which he held his opinions, was thought to be peculiarly well taken."

"There is a monument to Mary and Zebulon in a cemetery in Machias, although they are both buried at the Babb Cemetery in N. Livermore."
