I don't have any info. on the Zacchues in question but I found this online about another Zacchues: 1712-1769 Zaccheus Colby, son of Zaccheus and Mary (Eastman) Colby, was born in Newton, 1749. He fitted for college at Dummer academy, Byfield, Mass., and graduated at Dartmouth college, 1777. After stndying theology, he was ordained pastor at Pembroke, March 22, 1780. Early in his ministry the Presbyterians became interested in his preaching, and arrangements followed which resulted in the union of the two societies. His ministry was fruitful in increase to the church. During the latter years of his ministry, however, dissension arose which led to the sundering of the pastoral relation. He was dismissed May 11, 1803, and the same year installed over the Presbyterian church in that part of Chester now Auburn. Health failing, he was dismissed in 1809. He died August 10, 1822. He married Mary, danghter of Col. John Calef, of Kingston.

He is a staunch Republican, but has never been especially active in politics except in the mayoralty contest of 1906, and his able conduct of that campaign will long be remembered in Haverhill, because of the illustrated newspaper articles showing what he considered the financial mismanagement in connection with the building of the new high school.
