    3. Zebulon to be featured on TV show Friday by Rachel McDaniel Wednesday, January 19. 2011 Viewers can see Zebulon featured on this week's Georgia Traveler Friday evening at 8 p.m. on Georgia Public Broadcasting channels. Around 200 years ago, Zebulon was home to the only black Georgian known to have fought in the American Revolution - Austin Dabney. His near-fatal wound and brave service at the Battle of Kettle Creek in Washington, Ga. earned him his freedom from slavery, land in Georgia and a federal pension - all three unheard of at the time. Georgia Traveler host Rickey Bevington visited Dabney's gravesite just outside of Zebulon during filming for the show. Watch Georgia Traveler on GPB Channel 8 Friday, Jan. 21 at 8 p.m., Saturday, Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, Jan. 23 at 7:30 p.m.
