Eleazer Coburn was born March 4, 1735, in Dracut, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, the son of Aaron and Marcy Coburn.
Eleazer served in the American Revolutionary War, as an enlisted man, in Captain Butterfield's company of Colonel David Green's Regiment, that marched on the Lexington alarm April 19, 1775. He also served in Captain John Ford's company in 1776, marching from Chelmsford, July 25, 1776, discharged at Albany, New York, on January 1, 1777. His Daughter the American Revolution Ancestor number is A023967.
Eleazer married Bridget Hildreth, daughter of Robert Hildreth, of Dracut, Massachusetts. Their intention to marry was published November 1, 1760. Eleazer and Bridget resided in that part of Dunstable which was afterwards set off as Tyngsboro, in northern Middlesex County, Massachusetts, where their children were born.
In 1790, after the death of his oldest son, and the marriage of three of his daughters, he moved with his remaining family to Lewiston, Maine, where his brother-in-law, Paul Hildreth had settled. In 1792, they came to Canaan, Maine, where the second daughter, Deborah, wife of John Emery,lived. She and her husband received them in their home and John Emery, who was one of the early settlers of Canaan, gave them fifty acres of land, a part of the grant he had received from the Kennebec Company.
Eleazer Coburn soon built a log house near his daughter and her husband, where the family lived until Eleazer's son Eleazer, the second, at the time of his marriage, built the first frame house on the same spot. The children of Eleazer and Bridget married and settled round them and they passed their old age in the home of their son, Eleazer.
