FAG Volunteer Ann (#46833496):
He was the son of General DeLoach (1797-1884). Ebenezer's mother was Sarah Bohannon Deloach.

Ebenezer's first wife was Harriet (Heart) Amanda Corbett. They had four children: William Riley DeLoach, Alice DeLoach Webb, Indiana (India) DeLoach Payne, and Sarah DeLoach Padgett.

Ebenezer had a farm in Lowndes County, Georgia and then at Lee, Madison County, Florida. After 1915, he farmed in Taylor County, Florida. He grew corn, cotton, peanuts, and sugar cane. In Madison County, Ebenezer made sugar cane syrup from sugar cane. He used a mule on a pole walking in a circle to turn the apparatus to mash the cane. He played the fiddle and his son William Riley played the banjo at Saturday night dances in homes and so forth. Ebenezer's favorite tune to play was "Pop Goes the Weasel" He liked giving a big pluck on "Pop". The words went: "All around the potato house, Sally's got the measles; Polly's got the whooping cough; Pop goes the weasel!"

During the birth of their fourth child, Heart Amanda suffered 62 convulsions. Recovery may not have been complete and her sister Martha Corbett took her in to nurse. Heart Amanda lived her life out with Martha.

Ebenezer's second wife was Georgia Denmark Bohannon, who had two children from a previous marriage. The children Ebb and Georgia had together were Annie Mae DeLoach Sadler and Ebenezer D. DeLoach, Jr. They lost their son Rhoan at birth. When Ebenezer's daughter Alice was almost dying with a kidney infection, he drove his wagon to her husband's farm and brought Alice to his farm. Then he told his present wife Georgia to nurse his daughter back to health. She did although Alice was bed ridden for six months. Thanks to Georgia's care, Alice returned to her farm to have more children with her husband J. Louis Webb.

Ebenezer was at his daughter Alice's farm when he had a stroke. Alice attended Corinth Primitive Baptist Church in Lee, Florida. Since Ebenezer couldn't walk right after his stroke, the whole church would come out on Sunday after their regular services to have a sermon or two as well as the singing of hymns for Ebenezer at Alice's farm.
