16. V. Ebenezer3, born 9 April, 1677 [96] [1]

Ebenezer (16. V.) son of Samuel and Mary (Benning) Wentworth, born 9 April, 1677, was sometimes of Boston, Mass., and sometimes of Portsmouth, N.H. He was a sea-captain. In 1707, he was selected to command the store-ship of fourteen guns and twenty-eight men, sent in the expedition for the reduction of Port Royal (Annapolis). He died 14 September 1747. He had married, 9 August 1711, Rebecca, daughter of David Jeffries (who married Elizabeth, only child of Gov. John Usher byu his first wife, who was daughter of Peter Lidgett, of Boston who was made "freeman" in 1673/) She died at Piscataqua, 2 July, 1721, aged 28.

Ebenezer and Rebecca (Jeffries) Wentworth had children:

  1. 97. Samuel, born 15 November 1714; married Rebecca, daughter of James and Rebecca Lloyd Oliver, of Boston Mass. She was granddaughter of Nathaniel Oliver (born 1652), who married Elizabeth, daughter of Capt. Thomas Brattle. Samuel removed from Portsmouth to Merrimack, N.H. about 1771, where he died childless aged about 70. His widow (as such appears in deed 17 July 1789) married a Simpson, of Merrimack, who died suddenly while on a visit to Portsmouth.
  2. 98. David, born 17 October 1716, died in Portsmouth, making his will 4 August 1741, giving £100 to his friend David Rogers of Portsmouth, £200 to Mary, daughter of Joseph SHerburne, of Portsmouth, and the remainder to his brother Ebenezer, who was executor.
  3. 99. Ebenezer, born 20 May 1720. He is supposed to have had wife Mary in 1748, and to be dead in 1760; but it is a question whether this does not confound him with Ebenezer (91), son of Lieut.-Gov. John. [2]
