A One-Name Study for the BARNUM/BARNHAM Surname
Zacheus Barnum married (1st) Susannah Wolcott, daughter of Samuel Wolcott; she died in October, 1790. No children were born of that union. He married (2nd), in 1791, Sarah (Cary) Bush, widow of Eben Bush. In 1792 he settled with Sarah on the farm which she had inherited from her first husband. Zacheus and Sarah had four children.
