Neither Eleazer nor his wife appear to have been members of the Sandwich First Church, though the Rev. Benjamin Fessenden listed Eleazer Bourne as one of the Heads of Families in 1730. The inventory of Hezekiah Bourne lists a "lot of land in Sandwich now Eleazer Bourne's," which suggests that the latter was still alive on 26 Feb. 1745. site cited The Rev.
