Hi Sally, Our ancestor, Ebenezer Dan, was born 21 July 1768 in Stamford, CT, and died about 1808 "at Neversink," Sullivan County, New York. He married Sarah Jones on 1 December 1790 at the New Canaan Congregational Church, CT. Sara was born 19 October 1773, probably in CT. She died 17 April 1845 in Downsville, Delaware County, NY, having married Isaac Wilson about 1809. Sarah is buried in the old Downsville Cemetery, by the covered bridge. Ebenezer and Sarah Dan had 9 children: Amariah, b. 15 November 1791, Ridgefield, CT; d. 20 August 1870, Virgil, Cortland Co., NY Sarah, b. 19 May 1793, CT; d. probably after 1840 in Colchester, wife of William Young Phebe, b. 9 April 1795, CT; died ?, wife of John Goodrich and possibly later a "Mr. Pond." Ebenezer, b. 19 September 1796, Ridgefield, CT; d. 5 October 1872 in Walton Enoch, b. 13 September 1798, CT; d. between 1850-1860, possibly in Deposit Asa T., b. 17 April 1800, Ridgefield, CT; d. 20 March 1965 in Walton Matthew, b. 10 January 1802 in CT; d. 31 May 1882 at Northfield (Walton) Darius, b. 13 October 1803, Neversink, Sullivan Co., NY; d. 8 September 1892 at Walton Harvey, b. 31 January 1806, Neversink, Sullivan Co., NY; d. 29 april 1862 at Downsville The "1796 Ebenezer" is my ggg-grandfather. I believe that he and/or his two oldest children are the ones who submitted an anti-slavery petition to The House of Representatives in 1838.
