  • Notes 
    • Ebenezer Bisbee moved to Plainfield, Mass. with his brother Luther. There are dded records in Hampshire County for the years 1795, 1808 and 1819.

      He served in the Revolutionary War and was one of the first settlers of Plainfield, coming there as early as 1779. He lived on the farm now (1891) occupied by William Packard in the S. W. part of town. He was chosen Selectman in 1788 and served for 15 years thereafter.

      The 1790 US Census for Massachusetts lists: "Ebenezer Bisbee of Cummington, Hampshire Co. 1 m. 2 fem." which is correct for Ebenezer, Jr. Also, "Ebenezer Jr. of Plainfield, Hampshire Co. 5 m. 2 fem." This record seems to be correct for Ebenezer Sr. Ebenezer Bisbee was a witness to the will of WIlliam Holmes of Halifax, Mass. 20 June 1760.

      Revolutionary War records of Massachusetts soldiers and sailors lists: "Ebenezer Bisbee of Bridgewater, Private in Capt. Elisha Mitchell's Co. Col. Simeon Cary's Reg't. Payroll for 5 days service between time of enlistment and time of marching, dated April 2d, 1776." Also "in Capt. Abraham Washburn's Co. Col. John Cushing's Reg't. enlisted 9-20-1776. Service 59 1/2 days, Newport, R. I." Other records, "He drew a pension as a Rev. soldier of $20 per year."

      From church records, "Confession of Faith, First Cong. Church, Plainfield, and List of Members." "Ebenezer, Deceased bef. 1892, member in 1797. Mehitable, Deceased bef. 1892, member in 1797. Mary, Moved 1816, Deceased 1851. John, Moved 1816, Deceased 1851. Galen, (Moved) 1827. Eliza, Moved 1827. Jared, Moved 1831. Penelope, Moved 1831. No members listed 1852 to 1892. [4]
