"No record of his marriage has been found, and all that is known of his wife is that her Christian name was Lois."

The statement in this sketch that their son Ebenezer was born 1703 appears to be an error, since his birth is, in fact, recorded in the published Derby vital records as having occurred 15 Apr 1707.
