Biography
Ebenezer Wilcox was a son of Eleanor (Rathbone) Wilcox (abt.1742-) and Edward Wilcox (1726-1812) of Exeter, Rhode Island.
He married Iantha Mason (abt.1752-abt.1800).
- Note: The year of their marriage (1785) as earlier input to this profile probably is not accurate, especially in view of the birth dates of their children during the timeframe from 1774 to 1779. Additional sourcing with clearly evident citation(s) is encouraged.
- Note: A different, possibly second marriage to Patience Kenyon (1768-1856) also has been put forth, however no supporting evidence has been produced to support that premise. More robust sourcing for this profile, and for its attached family members, is encouraged.

Per the Wheeler (1900) History of Stonington [[1]], this Ebenezer Wilcox and his 2nd wife, Iantha Mason, had daughter Mehitable Wilcox who married Jessie Wilcox (1762-1828). Might there be sufficient data on Mehitable to enable building a profile for her, then attaching to Jesse? After that is done, they had 7 children to attach respectively. Thanks.
