Dot,
I am very interested in Zenas and Mary Scudder Marston. I believe they lived in my house but can't find too much detail on them. I especially want to know when he died.
All I know so far is:
"Captain Zenas Marston, born June 28, 1802, was the oldest of seven children of Clement Marston Jr. He was married to Mary Scudder in 1826. At some point, perhaps near the time of his marriage at age 24, he acquired the family homestead in Hyannis Port from his uncle Nymphas, whose wife died in 1820. None of their three children lived to adulthood. Zenas was a Master Mariner who operated large schooners carrying bulk cargoes up and down the East Coast. He was a meticulous man who is said to have carried a large trunk of clean pressed white shirts on each of his sea voyages, so he could wear a clean shirt every day. He lived till at least 1850."
I did get some very nice photos of them which you can see on my house website: http://www.catboat.com/b&b/history.html
If anyone has any info on any of the Marstons mentioned on this site I will be most gratefull.
Sincerely, Marcus Sherman
