Occupation* | | Ebenezer Howard, as he was known in Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England), was a stonecutter and carver of gravestones.5 |
Relationship Note* | | Ebenezer was fourteen years younger than his cousin Nathan Hayward, and it is likely that Ebenezer learned to carve gravestones in his cousin Nathan's shop in Bridgewater, Plymouth County, Massachusetts Bay Province (New England).
