Biography

Ebenezer Harris was born on 6 Jul 1705 in Plainfield, Connecticut to parents Ebenezer Harris and his second wife, Christobel Crary. Ebenezer had a half-brother named Ebenezer as well, born in 1694. This Ebenezer 1705 married Sarah Trull on 5 Jun 1732 in Lisbon, Connecticut. Children: Azariah, Ebenezer, Ann, Elizabeth. He died about 1779 in Plainfield, Connecticut.
See his wife's profile for a discussion as to her LNAB and her parentage. She was not Sarah Tracy, Sarah Trace, Sarah Trall, Sarah Trail, Sarah Jewell or Sarah Hull as can be found online and in print. These errors are found in the Plainfield Vital Records, many secondary sources and online.

Harris-33016 and Harris-5029 are clearly the same person. Same birthdates, same birth locations, same parents. Married a woman named Sarah in 1732 in Plainfield, CT either in Jan or Jun (could be a misreading of the scripted month). It is unlikely that Ebenezer married two different Sarahs exactly five months apart, given that both lived past 1840. Yet the birth and death dates for these Sarahs are quite different. Since Harris-33016 and Harris-5029 are the same person, I suggest merging them and resolving the two Sarahs at a later date.

The mother shown died more than 5 years before his birth

Updated: I replaced his mother with the correct one.

I suspect the date of birth for one of the Ebenezer's needs to be changed, as they both have the same dob, but two different mothers. Don't think that's right.

The bio makes it clear that this is the Ebenezer that was born in 1694, but the bio appears to have just been copy and pasted.
