Rose, could your Ebenezer Sr. be the same person as the one who married Sarah Elizabeth Mather? I see that the 1870 Census of Knoxville, Knox Co IL lists Ebenezer Westfall age 67, b. OH with his wife Sarah E., age 54, b. NY. Then in 1880 Census of Knoxville, Knox Co IL Ebenezer is 77 b. OH Par: VA/VA, and Sarah age 64 b. New York City Par: CT/CT I'm not related, but found this entry on rootsweb. http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=rmather&id=I3056 The names and birthplaces seem to fit well with the census information. The rootsweb entry indicates that Sarah was married previously to a John Bergen in New York City. This item is a long shot: I Googled "Ebenezer Westfall".....and one hit was the 1825 enumeration of Darke County Ohio males over age of 21. Several Westfalls....one of them an Ebenezer Westfall (the later Knox Co censuses would indicate his birth to be about 1803 - therefore would be 22 years old in 1825 in Ohio) http://census.dcoweb.org/1825alph.htm [However, now that I just looked at the Darke Co OH GenWeb site, I see that the marriage of Ebenezer Westfall is to an Elizabeth Cox......I think that's a totally different fellow. Sorry about the mislead.] I expect you maybe have all this data already.....but it is interesting to have a chance to "look around" on behalf of someone else. Good luck!
