Children of Sergeant Abraham and Mary Staples: 2)Ebenezer, inherited the homestead in the village [Mendon]; married thrice; was a blacksmith by trade. [If this is him, as it appears to be, he would have been approaching 90 at the time of his death, since this source places him before Jacob in birth order, probably based on the signficance of his inheritance. As Jacob married in 1690, he would have been born bef. 1670.]
