Robert Givens "discovered" in the Nathan Hale Collection of Burials in Maine at FamilySearch that Zebulon and Lydia Andrews were buried in the Libby Plot on Watson Mill Road in Saco, York, Maine. (See attached photo)

Says Robert "This makes perfect sense as this is the first road to the west of Broadturn Road in Scarborough where all the Carter's lived. John Carter and Zebulon Libby both owned land that strattled the Scarborough and Saco community line - which line is between the two roads above".

Zebulon served as a patriot Captain in the Revolutionary War.^[1][2]
