• Notes

  Ebenezer had two sons (Ebenezer and Samuel) and three daughters (Polly, Rebecca, and Mehitable). Ebenezer was shot and killed in Indian attack known as the Preble massacre. Refer to the book Preble Family in America, Page 16. The footnote gives an account of his death and the capture of his children. There is also a "Preble Massacre" paper by Henry O. Thayer that describes this event.

  [S219] The First Three Generations of Prebles in America, Geo. Henry Preble, Page 16 Footnote (Reliability: 2). Enenezer was shot by Indians while working in the field, his wife was killed in the house, and the children taken to Quebec, where they remained prisioners four or five years. After the war they were all brought back by their grandfather Brigadier General Harnden (who went to Quebec for that purpose), except the oldest daughter, Mehitable, who was taken by a French family and became attached to them. She eventually married in France.
