Excerpt from "Records of William Spooner, Second Generation: "Ebenezer, the youngest son of William Spooner, the elder, was born on the old Spooner homestead at Acushnet. At an early age, he entered the family of Mr. William Crow, of Plymouth, by whom,was reared and adopted.
Ebenezer lived afterwards at Marshfield, where, in June, 1691, he was qualified as a freeman. Subsequent to 1694, he removed to Dartmouth; and there, with his wife, he became a member of Rochester Church. From Dartmouth he returned about 1703 to Plymouth, where he passed the remainder of his days.
His gravestone is standing on "Burial Hill" and is the oldest monument of the family in this country. The stone is a blue slate, soft and scaly, and is somewhat defaced, but is as follows:
"Here Lyes The
