Biography

Ebenezer Felloes (or, later, Fellowes or Fellows) was born on 10 Nov 1692, in Salisbury, Essex County, in the Province of Massachusetts Bay. He was the son of Samuel Fellows, Jr., and Elizabeth Barnard.^[1] He was baptized at the age of 13, on 18 Nov 1705, in Salisbury.^[2]

Ebenezer married Elizabeth Brooks in Kingston, Rockingham County, Province of New Hampshire, on 12 Nov 1718.^[3] They had at least eight children, all probably born in Kingston, who lived until at least 1745 (not necessarily in order of birth):

1. John Fellowes (b. 27 Apr 1720, Kingston)^[4]
2. Abigail Fellowes (b. 6 Nov 1721, Kingston)^[5]
3. Mary Fellowes (b. 31 Dec 1723, Kingston)^[6][7]
4. Ebenezer Fellowes (b. 19 Aug 1727, Kingston)^[8]
5. Benjamin Fellows (b. 16 Mar 1730^[9] or 6 Nov 1730)^[10] Note: The 16 Mar 1730 date is, suspiciously, exactly a year before Joseph's, while the 6 Nov 1730 date would conflict with the 16 Mar 1731 date for Joseph.
6. Joseph Fellowes (b. 16 Mar 1731, Kingston)^[11]
7. Elizabeth Fellowes (b. 22 Jun 1738, Kingston)^[12]
8. Ann Fellows

Ebenezer Fellows died in Kingston on 5 Feb 1742.^[13] His widow, Elizabeth, and his eldest son, John, were named administrators of his estate on 28 Apr 1742. At the division of his estate, on 22 Jun 1745, his heirs included his eight known children.^[14]
