From History of the Waldo Family by Waldo Lincoln, 1902
Zachariah Waldo was killed in a fall from his roof in Royalton, VT. buried in Royalton served in the Revolutionary War in CT, enlisting in Mar 1781 as a private for 3 years; spelled his own name at that time "Zachara" From Vermont Gateway, Pomfret:
Zachariah Waldo was an organizer of the town of Pomfret.
Son of Jonathan Waldo and Abigail Whitemore
Husband of Abigail CORBIN
Father to John, Sarah, Ralph, Jonathan, Sullivan, Moses CORBIN, Mahala, John, William Putnam, Louisa Ann, and Joseph Warren.
Zachariah was killed by falling from the roof of his house. His gravestone at Royalton erroneously shows 1819. He removed to Royalton about 1794, in which year his name first appears on the Grand List of that town, but he had apparently visited the town at an earlier date and perhaps lived there for a time, since in a deed dated July 10, 1787, by which he purchased of Timothy Durkee one-half of an hundred acre lot in Royalton, he is described as of Royalton. The name "Zacheus Waldo," on the Grand List of Royalton for 1793, is probably intended for him, in which case he went to Royalton in that year, probably soon after the birth of his eldest son, which is recorded at Thompson, Conn.
Aug. 24, 1818, Abigail Waldo was appointed "Administratrix on the estate of her late husband Zechariah Waldo, late of Royalton, deceased." The appraisal of his estate names a farm of one hundred and thirty acres with buildings, in Royalton, valued at $1,000. The personal estate was valued at $730.50. This farm, some years after his death, came into the possession of his son Sullivan, by quitclaim deeds from the other children.
He was a soldier in the Revolution, and his widow Abigail made an application for a pension Oct. 16, 1838, at which time she was sixty-four years of age and residing at Royalton, and the same was allowed by reason of her husband's service in the Connecticut troops during the Revolutionary war. Papers on file show that he "enlisted in the month of March, 1781, as private, for three years; in what company she cannot say, but was in Col. John Durkee's regiment, Thomas Grosvenor Lieut.-Col., in Gen. Huntington's Brigade."
"April 5, 1805. This may certify that I do not agree in religious opinions with a majority of the inhabitants of this town.--Zachara Waldo." The foregoing shows an independence of mind Characteristic of many members of the family. What his religious belief was, however, has not been learned.
He married, Feb. 4, 1793, at Thompson, Conn., Abigail, daughter of Moses and Sarah (Bacon) CORBIN of Woodstock, Conn.; born Mch. 16 1774, at Woodstock; died Dec. 26 1859, at Royalton, of typhoid fever, aged 85 years, 9 months, 10 days.
Nov. 5, 1811, "Zachariah Waldo and Abigail Waldo, both of Royalton, County of Winsor and State of Vermont, yeoman, and Jemima Newton and John Bailey and Sally Bailey of Thompson, Conn., Yeoman, and Moses Corban of Troy, N.Y., and Benjamin Saxton and Susanna Saxton of Hutzen (sic), N.Y." quitclaimed unto Enoch Bacon to land in Sturbridge, Mass., "it being all our share set off to the heirs of Sarah Corban late of Woodstock deceased, it being her share in her mother Sarah Bacon's thirds late of Vershire, County of Orange, Vt., deceased."
Zachariah and Abigail Waldo are both buried at Royalton. The births of their children are not recorded there, but according to family tradition they were all born there, save the oldest, whose birth is recorded at Thompson. The following are the inscriptions on their gravestones:--
"Zachariah Waldo | died | Aug. 3, 1819 | æ 86 yrs."
"Abigail C. | wife of | Zachariah Waldo | died | Dec. 26 1859 | æ 86 yrs."
