In his book, HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF ANDOVER, NEW HAMPSHIRE, 1751-1906, John R. Eastman states (in a footnote on page 317) that "No record has been found to show definitely whether it was Ebenezer son of Samuel (see p. 318) or Ebenezer son of Thomas; who m. Mehitable Tucker. But it is known that Ebenezer son of Thomas resided in Andover and the weight of evidence shows that he m. Mehitable." A definite answer to this question is found in the Abstract of the Revolutionary War Pension File of Ebenezer, son of Samuel (listed on Page 3052 of White, ABSTRACTS OF REVOLUTIONARY WAR PENSION FILES, op. cit.), which states "a res of Andover NH, in 1820 sol was aged 65 with a wife Mehitable aged 63 & a son Parker aged 17." Ebenezer's Pension Number is S45143, for which he applied 7 May 1818. He had served for one year (December 1775 to December 1776) in Colonel Poor's Regiment of New Hampshire Volunteers. In his pension application, he states that he, Mehitable and Parker were all in poor health, and that he had been unable to do any work for several months. He was awarded a pension of $8 per month.
