Person:Ebenezer Richardson (9)

RICHARDSON, Ebenezer, s. of ---, [died] Sept. 8, 1783, in his 61st year.
RICHARDSON, Eben, s. of ---, buried Sept. 9, 1783.

Ebenezer Richardson [#1712], s/o Thomas Richardson [#1580] and Rebeccay Wyman, b. Woburn 26 Aug 1722, d. Woburn 8 Sep 1783, m. (1) (int.) 7 Oct 1747 Mary Richardson, m. (2) 21 Mar 1776 Sarah Richardson.
[Note: Vinton has made a couple of serious errors in this family that show up clearly upon investigation of the probate file, which he must have never consulted. Primarily, since his widow is clearly named Mary, the second marriage is fictitious, and appears to be confusion caused by a misrecorded intention for his son. (For this reason, everything he says about the second wife should be ignored, and his reporting on Sarah Richardson [#1971, p. 224] is also probably flawed.) Second, Ebenezers's daughter Judith married James Dodds, not James Wyman, whom Vinton contradictorily married off to two different Judith Richardsons (here and on p. 248).]
