    • Note from Pamela Miller regarding this Ebenezer.

      Hi Kris,
      I am a related to Patrick and the source of some of his information. Ebenezer was long thought to be the son of Ebenezer Cutler and Mary Stockwell. However, I have a letter written by a grandson of Sarah Cutler Hill, daughter of Capt. Ebenezer Cutler and Anna Whitney telling that family legend was that Sarah had a brother, Ebenezer, who was a Loyalist and went to Nova Scotia. I later found Ebenezer's Loyalist claim. In it, he names his brothers, Zaccheus, Jonas and Elisha "the oldest". Then I found this baptism record: Town of Weston births deaths and marriages 1707- 1850

      15 Jan 1748/9 Weston, Mass

      Church records, page 457. "Janry 15, 1748-9 Elisha, Jonas Anna, Mary, v.p.10 Sarah, Millecent, Ebenezer, Zaccheus, Eliakim - Children of Ebenezer & Anna Cutler." Listed with other Baptisms.

      More recently, Ebenezer is profiled in "Embattled Farmers" by Richard C. Wiggin.

      -----------------------------
      From "The Loyalists of Massachusetts and The Other Side of the American Revolution" By James Star, 1910
      Page 470:
      After a few years Ebenezer Cutler went to England on a visit and there married Mary, daughter of Colonel Hicks, of the 70th Regiment. Two Children were born in England and four in Nova Scotia. He was Protonotary of the County of Annapolis, and was a zealous Episcoalian. He died there in 1831, quite aged. Mary, his widow, died at the same place in 1839. He was proscribed and banished in 1779. August 3rd, the jedge appointed a commission to settle his estate. His first wife, Miriam, died at Northboro, Mass., and her estate was inventoried Sept. 10, 1784, amounting to 100 Pounds. He had by her eight children.

      Ebenezer Cutler, son of the aforesaid, was born at Oxford, Mass., August 27th, 1765. He was a student at Harvard at the commencement of hostilities, when he was obliged to leave. Opposite his name in the College archives, is the name “Traitor” which means just the opposite, that he was a Loyalist. He went to Nova Scotia with his father. He was an expert accountant, and crown land surveyor.

      Ebenezer Cutler, son of the aforesaid,* settled in the town of Oxford, Mass., as an inn keeper and trader. He married Miriam Eager, sister of his brother Zackeus’ wife, and daughter of James Eager of
      Westboro, Mass., Nov. 24, 1764. Mrs. Cutler was a sister of Colonel Eager, who was a Loyalist and settled in Victory, Nova Scotia. Before the commencement of hostilities he tried to be neutral, but
      when the tea troubles arose, he went quietly at night, and purchased a quantity of it, on the return with his supply a masked band interrupted him, took the tea from him and burnt it. That decided him, which side to take, and he became a staunch loyalist.
