  • Notes 
    • It was said he was an excellent singer and would entertain his friends far into the night with his sweet songs. He was raised by Deacon Chandler in North Yarmouth, a close relative. It's also state within the pension application that he may have had a brother Thomas and a sister Jane who was also known as Jenny. I haven't seen any records for either. I am wondering if Ebenezer's parents had removed to Falmouth from York and subsequently had two more children after Ebenezer.
