General Notes (Wife)
Find birth record Canterbury for a Hannah Smith, dau of Jedediah and Abiel. Canterbury is very close to Mansfield, where other early Agard and Preston records are found, making this a reasonable match. The AEt is illegible on Hannah's tombstone, and as yet I have not found suitable marriage documentation, so this data is unconfirmed, with respect to belonging to Ebenezer's wife. [Though we can verify her DOD and that her given name was Hannah.] - Canterbury CT VR 207
