About Ebenezer Frisbee, Jr.
Ebenezer Frisbie was born 14 Apr 1705 in Branford, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, and died 20 Oct 1793 in Sharon, Litchfield, Connecticut, USA. He married Silence Brockett on 24 Dec 1731. He was the son of Ebenezer Frisbie and Hannah Page.
Deacon Ebenezer Frisbie
He was buried in Ellsworth burying ground on the south side of the road between the two churches. His stone reads: In Memory of Dn EBENEZER FRISBEE ESQ/ died Oct 20 1793/ How short is life we mortals see/How long is vast eternity/In time prepare for death and be/Happy to all eternity/
The 1926 Genealogy says: "Ebenezer Frisbee 'was from Branford, Ct....He came to Sharon with the first settlers, and being a surveyor, he was much employed in laying out lands in the early location of the township. He was town clerk from December 1743 to January 1746, and one of the deacons of the Congregational Church nearly the whole time of his residence in the town...'
"About 1736, the northwestern part of Connecticut, till then unsettled was divided into townships and sold at auction. From 1738 to 1740 settlements were made in all these towns, the land surveyed, and shares allotted to the purchasers or to their assignees. Ebenezer Frisbee appears to have been among the earliest settlers, and to have been a leading man in the affairs of the town. In the records of 1741 he is one of the commissioners who allotted the lands. He remained in Sharon till his death, October 20, 1793. He made no will, but gave the lands he had remaining, February 3, 1776 to his son Hezekiah, to whom the deed says he had already given the same."
