Person:Ebenezer Waite (3)

Ebenezer Waite [#11], s/o Samuel Waite [#7], [no birth date given], d. Paxton 13 Dec 1859 [sic, see following comment], m. 11 Feb 1771 Susanna Frothingham.
[Note: the parentage is presumably based on Ebenezer "sells to bro. John, all right in father's estate, 1786". But no birth date is given to select which of the 2 wives was his mother. One would presume it was Elizabeth Pratt whose father was named Ebenezer. This requires Ebenezer be born by 1746 when Elizabeth died. His marriage in 1771 would suggest he was born by 1750, which rules out third wife, and the second wife had 2 known children in 4 years of marriage, so she seems unlikely. See also, further comments attached to death record. The death date given in this source is basically impossible (over 100 years old) and probably belongs to his son.]

[Note: There is a Find A Grave memorial that appears to correspond to this death date. The birth date given is 21 Mar 1747, which would only be 53, not 54. Unfortunately, the picture on this page corresponds to an Ebenezer Wayte that died in 1740 in his 16th year, s/o Thomas, so the picture is a different person than the text on the memorial page.]
