Ebenezer Sr. married Lydia Fish, daughter of Jonathan Fish and Abigail Fish. The couple had 10 children, most of whom moved to Brooklyn in Cuyahoga County, Ohio.
After his children had settled in Ohio, Ebenezer and wife Lydia followed. His son Moses provided his parents with an 8 acre farm which was located south of Denison Avenue near what later became West 22nd St.
Not long after establishing himself in Brooklyn Village, Ebenezer passed away at the age of 70. He was buried in Denison Cemetery in Section 3, Lot 61. A grave stone noting his military service as a Revolutionary War soldier now marks the spot of his final resting place.
