Ebenezer Saunders

Origins

Mary married (3) Mr. William Thomas,(+) and was granted a commission of administration on his estate, 1678. The appraisers were William Downing, Sr., and Samuel Webb. She died 1683-4, and Ebenezer Saunders and Edward Saunders, her sons, were granted letters of administration on her estate, and gave bond of 30,000 pounds of tobacco. The appraisers were Thomas Webb, John Cocke, William Horem and others. (Northumberland Records.) It is best to conclude with Edward2 Saunders, the second son, before going on with the line of Ebenezer, the eldest.
