Notes for Ebenezer Bowditch

Notes for Ebenezer Bowditch

!SOURCE Five Genealogies of Bowdish and Bowditch Families in America...by Cyrus and Maryella Bowdish: "I have estimated Rebekah's birth date at about 1780. She died in May 1805 at Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts. I have estimated May's birth date to be about 1777. She died May 16, 1819. I think the marriage date for Ebenezer and May is incorrect. She is listed as his second wife, but, the dates shown would indicate that she was actually the first wife. Their children were born after the death of his first wife, Rebekah. Ebenezer died of Palsy."
