- There are three geographical parts to Ebenezer's life: childhood in Lexington, marriage in Gloucester with children, more children and death in Arlington, and this arrangement is given in whole by some secondary sources. However, others do not seem to tie these pieces together: for example, Bond shows the person born in Lexington going to Arlington, without any reference to Gloucester. The following items tie these together: the age at death in Arlington matches the birth in Lexington nearly perfectly; the marriage to Elizabeth in Gloucester and the marriage of widow Elizabeth a year after his death in Arlington; the records stop in Gloucester and then Ebenezer shows up in a house "lately purchased" in Arlington. The probate names John and Elizabeth born in Gloucester, Abigail born in Lexington, and youngest son Ebenezer born in Arlington.
