- ↑ Thomas Bragdon's Co
- ↑ 8. Ebenezer Cole, probably a native of Somersworth, N. H.; resided there in early life. He removed to Lebanon as early as 1773, where he resided until he enlisted in the Revolution. He was a private in Lieut. Thomas Bragdon's Co., stationed at Kittery Point, Me., 5 Nov., 1775. He was in the service three or more times. The Rev. Isaac Hasey recorded in his diary, 11 Aug., 1776 : "Bill up by Mrs. Cole for her husband in ye army;" and 18 Aug. again: "Bill up by Mrs. Cole for her husband sick in ye army." The "Parson" wrote 9 Nov., 1776, "Bill up by E. Cole for his son returned from ye army."
Between 30 May and 13 June, 1777,, he enlisted in Capt. Samuel Derby's Co. of Col. John Bailey's Battalion, and his name was reported with others mustered by Joseph Bragdon on a muster-roll, dated "York, 13 June, 1777."
On 14 March, 1778, Hasey recorded, "Bill by Mrs. Cole for her husband in ye army;" and on *15 May he wrote, "Cole died in ye army." He was at Valley Forge 25 Jan., 1778. (See Mass. Archives, Vol. 10, p. 81.)
His wife was Mary (Molly) daughter of Ebenezer and Sarah (Roberts) Wentworth of Somersworth, N. H. She was born about 1744, and became a member of Hasey's Church 11 July, 1773.
Mr. Cole resided on a part of the farm now (1896) owned by the heirs of Benjamin C. Hurd; and a section of this farm called the "Cole Field" perpetuates the name of this hero who gave his life for our American Independence.
His children, baptized at Lebanon 20 Aug., 1773, were Abigail, Esther, Mary and Sarah Wentworth; 25 Sept., 1774, Ebenezer, Jr.; and 21 Dec, 1777, Ruth. After Mr. Cole's death, his widow married a second time according to the Wentworth Genealogy, which also mentions another daughter by Cole, named Phebe.
He either had a son in the army in 1776, or his father was the E. Cole referred to by Mr. Hasey.
