      REF: The New Plymouth Connection: Woodworth, Damon, Howland, Smalley, Hopkins & Snow
      "The First Yankee" Lebanon Crank, CT

      Federal Census
      1790 listed in Lebanon, Windham, CT with his wife and two other females
      1800 listed in Lebanon, Windham, CT with his wife and one other female

      It is not likely that Ebenezer Sr moved to Dorchester since he is not listed in NH as an older person living with one of his sons, but rather listed in CT. His son, Ebenezer is listed in NH.
