Zebulon was a laborer, and his wife, Mary, were both of the Somersworth

Notes:

Samuel, along with Bartholomew Stevenson, Peter Mason Jr. and Stephen Jenkins were charged in September 1701 with aiding in the escape of Grace Hall, daughter of the Deacon John Hall, after being charged with bastardy (she was 27 years old at the time). Samuel was witness against Joanna Potts, his mother-in-law, for selling drink in 1707.
He owned 20 acres of land in 1719, presumably on his father Cornelius' grant on Fresh Neck Creek in Dover, left to him by his father. In 1719 Richard Waldren filed a suit in court against a dozen people "Pretenders to Land at Cocheco Point", including "Samuel Cosen. Planter." The suit dragged on for nine years and was settled in 1728 by dividing the land in question and giving half to Waldren. It appears that Samuel left his father's grant early in the 1720's but not because he was dispossessed. During the time of the lawsuit Samuel held a homestead in the Rollingsford (or Somerswirth) section of Dover. He was granted land in 1722 in Rochester, receiving a "thirdly third share," or one share to be divided equally between three poeple. He sold this property in 1725, but never lived on it, as the first permanent settler didn't move into Rochester until 1728.
Samuel's land was noted in Somersworth 9 March 1727 in a plan to lay out a highway from Salmon Falls to Cocheco, passing between Samuel Corson's land and the Wallingford's land.
Samuel "Cason" along with other inhabitants at the Somersworth section of Dover, signed a petition 17 April 1729 asking to separate Somersworth from Dover, stating: "the Dwellin places of your Ptitioners are at a great distance from the house of the Publick Worship of God in the Town of Dover where your petitioners live, by which their attendance thereon is rendered very difficult....It is humbly prayed by them that your Excellency .... sett them off as a Parish .... amongst themselves."
Samuel is believed to have moved into Berwick, Maine in the early 1730s, probably shortly after 17 March 1729/30 when he and his wife sold their homestead to Thomas Wallingford. The earliest mention of his name in York County was "Samnuel Corson of Berwick" among a group of men who bought the mill privileges at Great Falls in Somersworth in 1737. On 6 June 1739, Samuel Colson of Berwick, labourer, sold his property to Samuel Lord for 50 pounds. By 1742 Samuel was on the Rochester tax list, and there is no evidence he lived in Rochester before that date.
Samuel signed his "O" mark 19 Sept. 1753 in a deposition with two other men stating the "mark and dry pitch pine standing .... exact location then given .... seen the Letters thereon and have known it to be the reputed Bounds of Dover ... for thirty years past and upwards and further saith not." He received a summons issued to him in February 1756 for defaulting on a note on behalf of Job Clememnts.Judgement was obtained in Portsmouth by Clememnts for the balance plus two pounds, 18 shillings and 6 pence in costs.
He lived probably to 1764, and had moved over the Rochester line into Somersworth. In the First Annual Report of the City of Sommerworth a new road "over ye rocky hills" is described as "running ... to the old way below Samuel Corson's house."
By this time there were two other Samuel Corsons - one Samuel's son removed to Cherryfield, Maine, and his grandson Samuel (son of Zebulon) and in his 30s. His grandson was in the list of inhabitants of Lebanon, ME in 1760 and had purchased the land he was living on by 1766.

Samuel married POTTS, Mary after Apr 1708 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. Mary (daughter of POTTS, Thomas and ROBERTS, Joanna) was born on 6 Jul 1690 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA; died in 1775 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

The name has had many spellings, but we stick with the present Corson. Cornelius was known as Cosenwhit, Cossen, Cursenwhitt, and Corson. David Allen McNeal theorizes he may have been a Dutch mariner from New York, appearing first in Dover in 1685. He married Hannah Hobbs before 3 Feb 1686.
He was charged on that date with striking his mother-in-law, Hannah Hobbs. A Cornelius Cossen and Joanna Armitage, both married people were found in naked bed together and charged in Suffolk County (Boston) in June 1686. They were ordered to wear signs declaring they were being punished "For Adulterous and Lascivious Behavior to each other" for one hour, and that he was to be whipped with 25 stripes on the naked back and she was to get 20 stripes, or pay 70 pounds each.
Cornelius was listed as a resident lieutenant in Frost's Garrison in Kittery in 1704. Genealogical dictionaries suggest this was a son of Cornelius, but it may well have been the Cornelius who owned the 23 acre grant at Lower Salmon Falls River just above the Frost Garrison. It would have been very easy for him to get there by canoe (five miles at most). Cornelius' grant was on the lower, or south side of the present (1987) bridge from Dover to Eliot.
Research has suggested that the New England Corsons are not related to the New Jersey or South Jersey groups, though the lines may merge farther back than that. Cornelius may have been a descendant of John Cousins who settled on Cousins Island as early as 1627, or may have been associated with a William Cosin who lived in Boston in 1649 (a convenient time frame for Cornelius' birth).

Notes:

John Tuttle, originally from Northern England, arrived in what would become Dover, New Hampshire, around 1638 after surviving a shipwreck off the Maine coast in 1635 (the Angel Gabriel, according to family legend) and spending some time in Ipswich, Massachusetts. He received a land grant from King Charles II, estimated at about 7 acres, situated between two rivers. This land marked the beginning of his farming venture.

In 1640, John married a woman named Dorothy in Dover. The same year, he appeared on a list of Dover's principal citizens, protesting against a plan to bring Dover under Massachusetts' control. This action suggested that John preferred the governance style of Mason and Gorges over the Puritan rule of Massachusetts.

John's farm was located on the east side of Dover Neck, about forty rods southeast of the present-day Henderson's Field. Initially, he owned eight acres there, and this land has remarkably stayed within his family for generations. He also had thirty acres on the Great Bay and received additional land from the town, later given to his son, Judge Tuttle, in 1706.

John was a prosperous farmer, and his dedication to farming laid the foundation for a family tradition that would endure for centuries. His farm eventually grew to about 240 acres, including various types of land. Notably, this farm became recognized as the oldest continuously family-owned farm in the United States, a testament to the Tuttle family's long-standing commitment to agriculture.

John passed away in May or June 1663, around the age of forty-five. His wife, Dorothy, was appointed to manage his estate, as he died without a will. She reported to the court on June 30, 1663. John's legacy continued through his descendants, who maintained and cherished the farm he started, keeping it operational and in the family for generations. The Tuttle family farm remains a significant part of American agricultural history, symbolizing enduring dedication and resilience.

John married UNKNOWN, Dorothy about 1640 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. Dorothy was born in 1620 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA; died on 30 Jun 1663 in Dover, Strafford, New Hampshire, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
