Location of Residences, record of movement, migration, etc. Property : A statement in his pension file : “He resided at Windham until February 1782, then moved to Norwich, Hampshire County, Massachusetts and lived there eight years. He then moved to Benson, Rutland County, Vermont where he lived the remainder of his life.” This is not exactly correct, as Ebenezer was living in Malone, Franklin County, New York, at age 75 years, when he gave a deposition in his brother Christopher’s pension case. He may have lived in Vermont at the time of his death.
