Since sending y e-mail, I've found that Peter B. Hill, in the Five Generations books for the Doty family, vol 1, also makes reference to Ebenezer, with a note he was baptized on 12/11/1748. The source of information for that notation is: Berkshire Co. PR 18:26-7, which I'm assuming are the probate records. But whose probate records? Neither Steven or I can find reference to Ebenezer in James Ayrault's will. You do make a very interesting point that Ebenezer was not a name used in the Ayrault family - you're right, and it's very thought provoking. There are lot's of possibilities here, but it's going to take a lot of digging; I may not be able to access all the records needed. I'll keep digging and let you know what I find. If you get the time and find anything, would appreciate a note. Weather in Wisconsin has passed the peak of the color season so we're getting into late fall. Take care.
