From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Zebedee
     a Galilean fisherman, the husband of Salome (q.v.), and the
     father of James and John, two of our Lord's disciples (Matt.
     4:21; 27:56; Mark 15:40). He seems to have been a man of some
     position in Capernaum, for he had two boats (Luke 5:4) and
     "hired servants" (Mark 1:20) of his own. No mention is made of


     him after the call of his two sons by Jesus.
