Family:Whitney, Ebenezer (c1712-a1737)
Ebenezer5 Whitney (Nathaniel4, Nathaniel3, John2, John1), son of Nathaniel4 and Mercy (Robinson) Whitney, was born circa 1712, calculated from age at baptism, and baptized 25 Apr 1714, Weston, MA, aged -- years [probably 2 years].[1] Apparently he died before 1756, because his son Ebenezer had a guardian appointed then.
Ebenezer married 6 Feb 1733, Sutton, MA, Lydia Goodell (record says 1753, but this must be erroneous).[2] She was born about 1714, calculated from age at death, and died 8 Nov 1796, Sutton, MA, aged 82 years.[3]
Children of Ebenezer5 and Lydia (Goodell) Whitney, both baptized Sutton, MA:
i. Elisabeth Whitney6, bapt. 22 Jun 1735;[4] m. 27 Feb 1754, Sutton, MA, Stephen Bartlett.[5] ii. Ebenezer Whitney, bapt. 24 Dec 1737;[6] m. Abigail Brown.
