This information obtained from:

There is a question as to the identity of Ebenezer Colson who married Vashti Thayer 17-06-1762. Was he the son of Thomas and Mary (Bolter) Colson, or the son of Lt. Ebenezer Colson. G.W. Chamberlain states that Ebenezer Colson, son of Thomas married Vashti Thayer, but he also states that Ebenezer died young. The Vital Records of Weymouth, to 1850 list Ebenezer Colson Jr. as marring Vashti Thayer. This probably being the son of Lt. Ebenezer Colson who was Chr'nd in October of 1758 and probably born much earlier.
