Ebenezer was married only once and then to Elizabeth Benedict, b. 1706, Danbury, dau. of Thomas Benedict & Elizabeth Hickox or Hickock. After Thomas Benedict died, his widow m. a Samuel Smith. Her children may have taken the name Smith which led to this error. Thomas Benedict was son of Samuel Benedict & Rebecca Andrews. Rebecca Andrews was dau. of Francis Andrews & Anna Smith. Anna Smith was dau. of Giles Smith, of Hartford, Conn."
[Note: The idea Francis Andrews' wife Anna was a daughter of Giles Smith appears to have been disproved; see Giles Smith (abt.1603-abt.1669) and Ann (Unknown) Smith (1620-aft.1664).]
At any rate, if the 1953 book by Alfred Averill Knapp is to be trusted enough to be the main source for this page, then it would seem that the same author's later supplement should be trusted enough to revise it. This would also affect the page for Rachel (Knapp) Spaulding (1737 - 1821), who is currently shown on Wikitree as a daughter of Ebenezer Knapp and "mother unknown".
