Ebenezer Small 1760 Abby Leighton 1760

Note: This is where the family line becomes muddier. 

Ebenezer is supposedly married to Abigail (Family Group Sheet) and had all of these children. However, another source claims he was married to Elizabeth Jenkins. I can't find a thing on Abigail, but I found an Ebenezer's and an Elizabeth's gravestones in the East Wales Cemetery AND a record of the marriage. Perhaps Abigail was his first marriage? This desperately needs clarification. 
4/2011 Note:  There are some people working on this line at this moment and I will let you know how the story unfolds.
