General Notes:
Ebenezer went to Somersworth about 1717. "He went to
Somersworth as a lad of twelve years and found employment as a
farmer's boy in due time, but took up land in Somersworth about
one and one-half miles from the present village of South
Berwick, Maine. He lived in a log cabin until 1731 when he
built a house of solid oak frame which is still standing
[19O9]. He was described as an 'artisan", probably meaning a
skilled carpenter or builder. He received sixteen acres of land
in Somersworth from Samuel Hall in 1736. He was listed in
Somersworth's "army" in 1746. They lived in Somersworth, near
South Berwick, ME. Mary survived him and was executrix of his
will. The inventory of his estate showed a value of 5802.10.0,
quite a substantial sum at that time.
Ebenezer married Mary ROLLINS in 1733 in Somersworth, Strafford, New Hampshire. (Mary ROLLINS was born on 23 Jan 1714 in Dover, Strafford Co., New Hampshire and died after 1793.)
