Zaccheus was a Rev. War pensioner (file S12196) and his children were born in or near Marlow, Cheshire City, NH.

Zaccheus Beebe married Lurannah Mack, about 1770; she was born circa 1755; and died on 12 Aug 1836. Lurannah's name has been recorded spelled in various ways.

A correction card in the New Hampshire archives says the correct spelling of her name is Lurannah.
