According the the Hartwell Genealogy,215 “Ebenezer inherited much land from his father, and by deed of date June 3, 1698, his father-in-law conveyed to them the south half of the house and lot in Concord Village where John S. Keyes lived about 1885, and a tract of land just across the line in Carlisle, to which he probably removed. He and Samuel Jones were appointed a committee to plant 30 trees for shade on the sheep common, penalty for cutting any of them to ten shillings. From records he appeared to be a man of superior business acumen, as we find he made a point of putting down in writing, with witnesses, different tracts of land that he owned and where they were located. He was a field driver (hayward) in the north quarter in 1696-7, fence viewer in 1700, and a field driver in 1702 and 1708. He died intestate, and his estate valued at £520-5-4, was partitioned by agreement amoung [sic] his heirs.”

Note that the Hartwell Genealogy gives Ebenezer’s birthdate as “Apr. 6, 1665-6” on vol. 1, p. 2, which is confused (double dates only have meaning from Jan-Mar), but gives his birthdate as 5 Apr 1665 on another page where Ebenezer is listed among his father’s children.
