About Sgt. Ebenezer Averill

The burying-ground on Haverhill street, now known as "Pine Grove Cemetery," is the oldest burying-ground in Topsfield. The church was located here as early as 1663 and interments were probably made about the same time and perhaps earlier. Here lie buried Rev. Joseph Capen, Rev. John Emerson and Rev. Asahel Huntington, early ministers of the church in Topsfield; Thomas Perkins, the eminent Salem merchant; Jacob Kimball, the musical composer; the ancestors of Joseph Smith, the Mormon and many soldiers of the Revolution. The oldest stone having an inscription that can be deciphered, is one erected to the memory of Sergeant Ebenezer Averill, who died Dec. 22, 1717.

Topsfield VR has her daughter, "Susanah, d. Ebinesar and Susannah, [died] Nov. 11, 1699." Given that Ebenezer married again, this record likely belongs to the mother.
