4. EPHRAIM OVERMAN2,10 was born on 9 March 1681/2 in Wethersfield, Hartford County, Connecticut.1,8 He died on 2 September 1732 in Pasquotank County, North Carolina.1,2

The birthdates of the children of Ephraim & Sarah are transcribed in ENCYCLOPEDIA OF AMERICAN QUAKER GENEALOGY numerically. I presume they are Quaker dates, i.e. 3rd month, 19th day, 1709 but are given as 3-19-1709. Computer programs do not handle this well - they are transcribed as O.S. dates, so are actually two months off and the above date would have been 19 May 1709.

Ephraim liberated to marry Sarah Belman on 13 Mar 1708 [13th day, 3rd month 1706 - Quaker dating] "At a Monthly Meeting held at Herabegun Creek 13th Day of 3rd Mo 1706. Friends Met According to there former notice to Inspect into the affairs of Said Meeting. Ephriam Overman and Sarah Belman appeared & Declared their Intentions of taking Each Other in Marriage the second time no Accusation brought against them they are left to their lyberty to Accomplish their Design."

On 15 Sep of 1711 Ephriam condemned his misconduct. [He has assisted an officer and defended himself with weapons.]
