Biography
Name: Ebenezer Austin (also Ebinezer)
Ebenezer was born August 27, 1662[1] in Charlestown, Middlesex, Massachusetts.
Ebenezer first married a widow, Thankful (Stow) Benjamin, 8 Jul 1685 in Charlestown, Massachusetts. This marriage produced three children.
- Sarah Austin b. c1686
- Elizabeth Austin b. c1687
- Thankful b. c1688/9 died very young.
Ebenezer's first wife Thankful passed away in March of 1691.[2] Ebenezer then married Rebekah/Rebecca Sprague 27 Jan 1691[see Research Note 1.] in Malden, Middlesex, Massachusetts.[3] There were several children born of this marriage, among them:
- Benjamin Austin
- Rebeckah Austin the 1st Rebecca; died in her teens.
- Timothy Austin the 1st Timothy; died young.
- Ebenezer Austin
- Joseph Austin
- John Austin
- Rebeckah Austin the 2nd Rebecca.
- Timothy Austin the 2nd Timothy.
Ebenezer passed away January 16, 1722/23 in Charlestown, Middlesex, Massachusetts Bay Colony[4] and was buried in Phipps Street Burying Ground, Charleston, Suffolk, Massachusetts Bay Colony.[5]
Research Notes:
- This date is puzzling as it seems as if his first wife Thankful lived until 17 Mar 1691; but the date in the image is unmistakable.[6]
