Biography

Rev. Dibblee was born in 1715 to Wakefield Dibble in Danbury, CT; Ebenezer Dibble was born in 1706 to Zachariah Dibble in Stamford, CT. Bowditch Dexter (1885) supports Wakefield Dibble as his father. Rev. William Tatlock delivered a memorial sermon in 1881 that states 16 April 1715 was Rev. Dibblee’s date of birth, and attributes his parentage to Wakefield Dibble of Danbury, CT. [1] The Dexter source attributes parentage to Wakefield Dibble, and affirms year of birth was 1715 (Dexter, 1885, p. 507). This is confirmed by Bowditch Dexter (1885). The Youngs (1932) source from the Protestant Episcopal Church echoes the Wakefield Dibble parentage (p. 51).

Rev. Dibblee married Joanna Selleck Bates in 1736. His wife Joanna’s parentage is attributed to Jonathan Bates and Joanna Selleck of Stamford, Connecticut, and sources report that Joanna died years before him (1885, p. 508).

According to Bowditch Dexter (1885), Ebenezer was conferred a Doctorate in Divinity by Columbia College in 1793 and used the title Dr. Dibblee (p. 580). The use of this title is also mentioned in Cutter (1913).

He died on 9 May 1799.[2]

Research Notes

Ebenezer is described in the “History of Stamford” (1868) as born in 18 July 1706 to parents Zachariah Dibble and Sarah Clements, who married on 13 Aug 1699. He is noted to have graduated Yale in 1734 and died in 1799. [3]

His birth date and parentage are substantiated by town records recording the birth of “Ebinezur” to “Zachariah Debble” on 18 July 1706. [4] This source appears to be mixing up two different people with similar names.
