Zeb is an old pet form of Zebulon or Zebedee, so look for the same person under Zebulon as well.
Zeb is a short form of Zebulon and Zebedee, and sometimes of Zebadiah.
Do not take Zeb and Zebulon for two different people too quickly. Compare ages, places and the names of relatives to confirm that both names belong to one man. Because Zeb served for more than one name, see which full name the same man carries in other records.
