Research Note

In the Barbour Collection for Kent town records, entries for children of Ebenezer and Rachel may be found. This biography did not include sourcing children.

Also useful is the genealogy of The Children and Grandchildren of Thomas Beeman and Phebe Parke of Preston and Kent, Connecticut which seems to be well sourced. It includes Ebenezer and Rachel, and their children.
