Ebenezer was the youngest, born June 9 1743.  He married 8 Dec 1763 in Townsend, Mass, Rachel Avery of that town. They moved to Rockingham Vermont about 1770 coming into posession of what has of late years been known as the "Walter Wiley Place" on the "Upper Meadows." He felled the great trees of the almost unknown forest of which the farm was at that time a part.  Ebenezer, his wife Rachel, and six eldest surviving children, were baptized and received into the first chunk of Rockingham Sept 15, 1776.  He later became a deacon in the church.
