Person:Ephraim Wetherbee (8)

Children of Capt. Ephraim Wetherbee [#6] and Elizabeth Hall: 2) Ephraim.b. Stow 1724, d. Lunenburg 1747.
[Note: the death date appears to be based on probate file 63056, which would indicate Ephraim was over 21 in 1747 so born by 1726. There is great uncertainty about when Paul was born, probably either 1726 or 1727 (discussion on Paul's page), so Ephraim's birth appears estimated to fit between Ruth, whose birth is known, and Paul.]
