Ebenezer Richmond was born in Newport, Rhode Island in 1676, the son of Johh Richmond and his second wife, Abigail Rogers Richmond. His father spent a lot of time in Newport because of the surveying work he did there. The whole family would go along since they had a home there as well as in Taunton.

Ebenezer was active in the Middleboro, MA and Taunton communities as a businessman, constable, and in other elected positions. He was also a large land owner, much of it inherited from his father John. There was also the constant worry about the Indians which continued for several years.

In 1700 he married Anna Sproat of Scituate, granddaughter of Henry Samson of the Mayflower.

The six children of Anna and Ebenezer were all born in Middleboro, MA. They were Ebenezer, Robert, Anna, Rachel, Elizabeth, and Sylvester.
