• Notes

  Ebenezer was killed in the French and Indian Wars in Lake George, Warren County, New York, recorded in the Belchertown, Massachusetts, Congregational Church Records. He was a carpenter in Belchertown, Massachusetts in the 1750's with his son William. A petition for a war pension for Ebenezer was made in March 1759 by his son Salmon. Ebenezer was already dead at this time, so it appears that Salmon was trying to get a monetary security for his mother Mary.
