In March 1797 Ebenezer's father sold the whole of his farm in Becket; at the time of the sale he listed his residence as Lee, Berkshire, Massachusetts. The family moved to New Milford, Litchfield, Connecticut sometime after 20 January 1798, when Ebenezer's mother inherited land there from her father's estate. Although it is likely that Ebenezer was born in Lee, it is not known with certainty. In historical records his birthplace is sometimes shown as Connecticut and sometimes as Massachusetts.
