Do you know the religion of the family. Possibly one of the siblings will show up even if Ambrose doesn't. Further on Dutchess county. Dutchess County was a large area that was reworked in 1791 with Putnam County being split off. Thus some records showing Dutchess county may really be in Putnam county. also a long standing boundary dispute with CT in your time period would also put records in NY or CT. Since Merry family grounded in CT and Ebenezer's marriage recorded in Kent, CT with some saying they or possibly she was were from Amenia in Dutchess county NY give more clues.
