  2. The birth estimate of about 1675 comes from Source:Porter, William Leaton. Genealogy of the Porter, Merrick, Sherwin and Allied Families, p. 15. The distribution of his father's estate mentions (presumably males, then females, each in birth order): Robert the eldest in Vergin'a, 3 representatives of Ebenez., Jacob, Elizabeth, Mary, Francis, Sarah, Hannah, Abigall, Ellinor (Essex Probate 25204). This makes Ebenezer the second son. Since Ebenezer's marriage in 1699/70 suggests a birth before 1680, this would place him before Mary b. 1679, Frances b. 1681 and Sarah b. 1683.
