Note on Husband: Ebenezer * HINDS

(His picture appears in the Middleboro History book with these words: Ministry of Rev. Ebenezer Hinds, 1753-93) Ebenezer Hinds was born in Bridgewater, July 29, 1719, and was at one time a member of the Second Baptist Church in Boston. During his ministry a revival of religion occurred, whereby this church was increased to one hundred and four persons. During the French and Indain War he served as Chaplain in Captain Benjamin Pratt's company, and was with them in their march to Saratoga, where he often preached. He was a man of unusual ability, and an earnest and devout Christian pastor, who did much to build up his church and increase the spirituality of its members during his forty years of service. He was remarkable for his bodily health and activity, and it is stated that at the age of eighty years he would spring upon his horse unaided and take long rides to visit his parishioners. Probably on account of his great age, he gave up his pastorate about the year 1793, and until the year 1805 there seems to have been no regular pastor, Mr. Hinds preaching occasionally as his strength would allow. At his death, April 29, 1812, he conveyed to the church the parsonage which he had built and the land upon which it stands.
