Note: With all of this talk about Ebenezer, we may have forgotten his sister, Keziah Wing Handy who, among her other children, had a son, Zaccheus Hand

Zaccheus Wing (Keziah Wing, Nathaniel Wing, Stephen Wing, Rev. John, Matthew), was born January 16, 1707/08 in Sandwich, Massachusetts, and died 1787 in Rochester, Massachusetts. He married Mercy Freeman on January 16, 1728/29 in Rochester, Massachusetts, daughter of John Freeman and Mercy Watson. She was born April 24, 1707 in Eastham or Plymouth, Massachusetts, and died February 24, 1744/45 in Sandwich, Massachusetts.

Notes for ZACCHEUS HANDY:

Handy, FTM CD171, NEHGR, pg 200:

He married first, 16 Jan 1728/9, Mercy Freeman (Rochester VR's) daughter of John Freeman by his wife Mercy Watson...Her line is traced back to Elder William Brewster, of the Mayflower. Zaccheus Handy married, secondly, 5 Sept. 1745, Susannah Freeman, daughter of Prince Freeman by his wife Mary Doane, born May 173. Her descendants have a proven line back to Elder William Brewster. The two wives were second cousins.

Zaccheus is listed as a Sandwich householder in the Rev. Benj. Fessenden's list of March 1729/30.

Although both marriages are recorded at Rochester and not in Sandwich, Zacceus continued to live in his native town until late in 1747. A deed, dated 27 Aug. 1747, shows that Zacheus Handy "of Sandwich, carpenter" fought from "John Freeman of Rochester, yeoman", several tracts of land there for 700p. The property included Freeman's "dwelling house and homestead where I now live with the barn and orchard fencing". Also a grist mill, with a dam and stream called Seppican Mill River, with two thirds of the running gears, also that parcel of land knows as William Noye's homestead, about 85 acres and 30 acres of meadow ground (acknowledged 28 Aug., recorded 29 Aug., 1747 P LCD, 39:84).

Child of ZACCHEUS HANDY and MERCY FREEMAN is:

9. i. KEZIAH7 HANDY, b. April 15, 1729, Sandwich, Massachusetts; d. 1754, Sandwich, Massachusetts.
