Biography

Ebenezer d. between 23 Feb., 1799, and 12 June, 1799, as on the former date his will is dated, and probated on the latter. "He resided on a farm at North Salem, of nearly 200 acres, leased by him from Stephen Delancey—before the Revolution, and afterward purchased by him at sheriff's sale."

At the Register's office at White Plains, N. Y., we find deed from "Epenetus Ward to Ebenezer Lobdell," dated 15 April, 1771 : 10 acres near the "house that Jacob Lobdell formerly lived in." Also "Samuel Lyon to Ebenezer Lobdell. 6 Sept., 1788, 160 acres in Cortlandt Manor." now in possession of Ebenezer Lobdell—^"adjoining lands of John Iobdell."

Ebenezer was closely identified with St. James Episcopal Church. I think one of its first trustees, after its incorporation, 3 June, 1786.

Ebenezer was corporal in His Majesty's Seventh Company of Militia in the upper battalion, in Westchester Co., in the French and Indian wars of 1755-60. in his father's (Joshua II) Co.. under Col. Wm. Willett.
