Person:Ebenezer Damon (9)

DEAMON, Ebenezer, "from Brookline", [died] Dec. 30, 1813, a. 28. [Damon, Fever, CR1]

DAMON, Ebenezer, typhus fever, Dec. 30, 1813, a. 28 y. CR1.

[Note: the name is about all that can be read from the gravestone. However, this memorial page has used the age at death to misidentify Ebenezer's parents. The son of Jonathan and Mary was living in Dedham (still) in 1811 when sued by the other heirs of his father. He married Mary Holmes (see for example MF5G, Vol. 20, part 3, p. 203) and appears to be living in Roxbury in 1820 (see [1]). Meanwhile the probate of the Ebenezer who died in 1813 mentions his only heir, daughter Susanna Brigham Damon, and no wife, plus ownership of land in Orange and called him of Brookline. Combined with the various deeds cited on this page, it is clear that he is the son of Ebenezer Damon and Anna Hemenway of Orange.]
