Marriage Notes (Zechariah Sears)
Zachariah Sears, and wife Mehitable, were adm. to 2d Ch., Yar., Aug. 5, 1750. He may have bought land there.
He was a Lieut. in the Militia, and active in town and church affirs; was Constable, 1755; and Surveyor of Highways, 1765.
Rev. E.H. Sears says he removed to Windham, Ct, but I find nothing to confirm the statement, and his descendants are quite sure he never lived there. He died and was buried in N. Dennis, MA.
In 1778, he writes from Yarmouth, to his son Roland, at Ashfield, intimating that he was an old man; that his wife was living; that he had sons Zachariah and Roland, and several daughters; that his son, Zachariah, was a sea-faring man, and on a voyage to the West Indies with Capt. Tailor of hianus;" addressed, "Mr. Roland Sears living at Ashfield, Yrs. to the Lord." Gen. C.W. Sears of Univ., Miss., and Solo. F. Sears of Ann Arbor, MI, have old family letters and papers from 1770.
He made his will Oct. 26, 1786, and mentions his wife, (but does not give her name), and children, Peter, Roland, Joseph, Bethia Howes, Mehitable Sears, and Hannah Crowell; gave the homestead to son Joseph. Peter and Joseph, Exrs.

Nancy Leach Crowell Day
Quilter, founded Day Engineering Co.
EAST DENNIS--Nancy Leach Crowell Day passed away March 2, in the 12th month of her 90th year.
Born in Elizabeth, New Jersey, in 1919, she was the second daughter of Christopher Chase Crowell and Olive Atwood, both of Brockton.
For many years she was a member of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Brewster. She was an elegant quilter, an active member of Stitch 'n Chatter and Bayberry Quilters, and she made beautiful quilts for her children and grandchildren. Together with her quilting group members, she lovingly made quilts for soldiers overseas, and she and her friends made the Town of Dennis quilt that hangs in the Dennis Town Offices. She was a gifted seamstress who took delight in her color choices.
She loved to play Scrabble or Solitaire with her mother's deck of cards. She was an avid reader and a member of the Dennis Historical Society. She loved Cape Cod, the birthplace of her great grandfather, Uriah Howes Crowell, and grandfather, Thomas Foster Crowell, and treasured her family history, saving carefully kept photograph albums and family records that date back to the Pilgrims.
Mrs. Day was a skilled technical draftsman during World War II. After college and marriage in 1947, she and her husband built their first home in East Dennis. She did the drafting for the engineering design business they founded, Day Engineering Company, and it was during this time that she also held a real estate broker's license. Together they designed and built their present salt box home on the Cape in 1972, and enjoyed sailing in the boat her husband designed and built in their backyard and launched at Sesuit Harbor in 1977.
She is predeceased by her husband, Kenneth David Day, and their son, Anthony Crowell Day, as well as her sister, June Crowell Angier. She is survived by her daughter, Barbara Day Mathis of East Dennis; two grandchildren; three great-grandchildren; her sister, Rosamond Crowell Robinson of Hingham and Littleton, Mass.; her brother, Christopher Crowell of Bedford; and many nieces and nephews.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to First Church of Christ, Scientist, Brewster and Orleans, P.O. Box 696, Brewster, MA 02631, or Dennis Senior Center, Route 134, South Dennis, MA 02660.
