  1. I am a descendant of Zechariah Boodey and live on Zechariah’s ll’s Farmstead in New Durham, NH which he and Mary Demerriot settled in 1768. Brother Robert Boodey lived in New Durham for a number of years before moving onto Limington, Maine.
    My generation donated the Origin Cape to the town. I have been involved a the Zechariah Boodey Farmstead Committe for many years. We have the Cape in storage and are going to reconstuct. The covertant of the Freewill Baptists was signed in the East room of the old house in June 1780. I am happy to share. And will enjoy hearing from other descendants.

  2. Zechariah Boodey is my 8th G-Grandfather through his son Moses. Anyone found more details on where he might have been from?
