Ebenezer Spooner, , the youngest son of William Spooner, the elder, wasborn on the old Spooner homestead at Acushnet. At an early age he enteredthe family of Mr. William Crow, of Plymouth, by whom, as we conclude fromthe record he was reared and adopted. In Mr. Crow's will, dated Feburay11, 1683, and proved March 6, 1683, the following provision is made:

' I bequeath to Ebenezer Spooner and to Ephraim Thomas all my land andmeadow lying near Monponset pond; also I bequeath to them on e hundredacres of land which was long since granted to my uncle, Atwood by Court,lying at a place called Doty's meadow, which lands and meadow shall beequally divided between them when Ebenezer shall be 21 years old. I alsobequeath to Ebenezer Spooner an heighfer commonly called his.'

Ebenezer lived afterwards at Marshfield, where in June, 1691, he wasqualified as a freeman. Subsequent to 1694, he removed to Dartmouth; andthere, with his wife, he became a member of Rochester church. FromDartmouth he returned about 1703 to Plymouth, where he passed theremainder of his days.

This branch of the family continues to be largely represented inPlymouth.
