     Elizabeth Durand [Du9] Durand Family, p 17:

"Resided in the northern part of Derby, Conn., now called Seymour."

     Hannah Johnson Beach Letter of 27 Feb 1899:

"Hannah White was second wife to Ebenzer born 1724... His first was also named Hannah. Whose dau. she was I do not know. She died in 1852 [sic] in childbed, leaving no children."

Derby CT Vital Records, certified copies:

"Hannah Durand the Wife of Ebenezer Durand Died July 26^th 1752"

But her family was an old established family: see Jacobus, Families of Ancient New Haven, 1032: "Hannah [Johnson], b 16 Feb 1729/30 DV, d 26 July 1752 DV; m Ebenezer Durand" which shows her to be dau of Joseph and Margaret (Harger) Johnson.

Five Durands married five Johnsons!

Joseph Johnson son of Jeremiah & Elizabeth (Johnson) Johnson had children including

     Joseph Johnson who married Elizabeth Durand [Du9] and had children including
          Jeremiah Johnson who married Hannah Johnson son of Samuel and Mary (Durand) below
     Samuel Johnson who married Mary Durand [Du10] and had children including
          Hannah Johnson who married Jeremiah Johnson son of Joseph and Elizabeth (Durand) above
     Hannah Johnson who married EBENEZER DURAND [Du11]

Joseph's sister Elizabeth Johnson married John Chatfield and had children including

     Sarah Chatfield who married John Durand [Du2]

Joseph and Elizabeth's brother Abner Johnson married Abigail Durand [Du8]. Hannah was born at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 16 February 1730.^3,4 She married EBENEZER DURAND [Du11] on 16 September 1751.^5,6,4 Hannah died on 26 July 1752 at Derby, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, at age 22.^7,8,1,9,4

     Eunice Durand [Du48a] Since mother Hannah Johnson died in childbed, with no children, per the Beach letter of 27 Feb 1899, it follows that Eunice died either in birth or infancy.

Beach letter, 27 Feb 1899:

"His first wife was also named Hannah. Whose dau. she was I do not know. She died in 1852 [sic] in childbed, leaving no children." Eunice was born at New Milford, Litchfield, Connecticut, USA, circa 26 July 1752.^2,1 Eunice died.¹

     HANNAH WHITE The Frederick Beach letters indicate an uncertainty as to which Hannah White is the correct one for this genealogy: Hannah, daughter of Ebenezer, who was born 1721, or Hannah, daughter of Joseph, who was born 1724. And this uncertainty is stated in the letter of 18 Jan 1899, after the letter of 6 Jan 1899 on which the Ebenezer White line, herein, is based.

The "Durand Family" book states that Hannah, daughter of Ebenezer, is the one. But there are two possible Ebenezer's. See ?MARY MORSE text for details.

But here is another possibility: Manwaring's Digest of Early CT Probate Records 3:131 has the following:

"Page 192, 344.

White, Ebenezer, Hebron. Invt. L108-12-10. Taken by Ebenezer Wilcock and Matthew Ford. Will dated 14 May, 1733.

I, Ebenezer White of Hebron, in the County of Hartford, do make this my last will and testament: I give to Hannah, my wie, all my lands lying and being in the Township of Middlebury, in the County of Plymouth and Province of Massachusetts Bay ... Obadiah, my son ... my two sons, Ebenezer and Joseph ... Rebeckah, my daughter [less than 21] ... Having given the principal part of my estate to my wife, I leave the care of my three youngest daughters, Hannah, Cheanna and Mehetabell, with her, to provide for them as God shall enable her. I appoint Hannah, my wife, only and sole executrix.
Ebenerzer, White, LS.
Witness: Ebenezer Wilcock, Samuel Filer, Matthew Ford.

Court Record, Page 94 -- 3 July, 1733: Will exhibited by the executrix.

Page 27 (Vol. XII) 17 May, 1735: Rebeckah White, age 16 years, and Hannah White, age 14 years, children of Ebenezer White, chose Capt. Hezekiah Gaylord to be their guardian.

Page 41 - 11 March, 1735-6: Account of Adms. accepted."

So this Hannah White would have been born in about 1721 with father Ebenezer White. Hebron is east of Hartford, now in Tolland Co.

Harvey Durand's SCW affidavit has Hannah White born in Marshfield, MA on 13 Mar 1720/21, died in Derby CT on "+ Feb. 1811 ae. 90" married in Middletown CT on 17 March 1754 to Ebenezer. The marriage date and place is wrong for this item, so I doubt the rest of it too.
HANNAH was born at ?Marshfield, MA, on 13 March 1721.^4,3 She married EBENEZER DURAND [Du11] at Congregational Church, New Milford, Litchfield, Connecticut, USA, on 17 December 1754. The Durand Family gives New Milford as the place, but the vital record of the event I obtained is from Derby CT. Nevertheless, the church record is from New Milford. Note that this marriage is "just in time" for the birth of son EBENEZER 24 Feb 1755. Harvey Durand gives the marriage as 17 Mar 1754, Middletown, CT which has the advantage of plenty of time for the EBENEZER pregnancy but unfortunately disagrees with the marriage records in both place and time..^{5,6,7,8,9,10,3} HANNAH died in February 1811 at ?Derby, CT, at age 89.^5,3

     EBENEZER WHITE The Frederick Beach letters indicate an uncertainty as to which Hannah White is the correct one for this genealogy: Hannah b 1721, daughter of Ebenezer (of Marshfield), or Hannah b 1724, daughter of Joseph. And this uncertainty is stated in the letter of 18 Jan 1899. Or even a third possiblity, Hannah dau of Rev Ebenezer and Mary White (of Danbury), where Mary is b 1721. See ?MARY MORSE text for details.

If he is Rev Ebenezer then we know this about him from "Pastor Robbins Sermon", in "Barnum - The history of Danbury", http://members.aol.com/MoonPie001/Robbinsindex.html:

"... the church and people [of Danbury CT], in great harmony, invited Mr. Ebenezer White to settle with them in the ministry. He was accordingly ordained March 10, 1736.
...
About the year 1762 religious controversy began in this town, and was carried to a great extent for many years.
...
At the time above mentioned, Mr. White having altered his sentiments and preaching in several particulars, some uneasiness arose among his people. The efforts of several ecclesiastical councils to heal the division proving ineffectual, it finally issued the dismission of Mr. White from his pastoral charge, March 1764. A major part of the members of Mr. White's church joined with him in denying the jurisdiction of ecclesiastical councils and renouncing the form of church government established the churches of this State. ... Soon after this Mr. White and his adherents separated from the church and society and formed a separate church; they were general denominated 'Mr. White's adherents.' In October 1770, a number of inhabitants of the town individually named in the act, principally those who composed this separate church, were incorporated a society by the name of 'New Danbury.' Prior to this they built a good meeting-house, its dimensions about fifty feet by forty, in the year 1768, which was consumed in the general conflagration of the town. In the same year Mr. Ebenezer Russell White was ordained a colleague with his father over that church.
...
The society of New Danbury continued regularly, though constantly diminishing, till July, 1774, when the Rev Ebenezer Russell White, with a number of the society, united with the Sandemanians. Public worship was maintained irregularly afterwards for two or three years, till the society finally expired.
...
The Rev. Ebenezer White died Sept 11, 1779 aged seventy."

I take this to refer to Ebenezer White, and to his son Ebenezer Russell White, one of which might be our EBENEZER WHITE.

According to the Roderic Davis website, Rev EBENEZER WHITE and MARY MOSS had an unnamed female child as firstborn, ie about 1737, which is about right for our HANNAH.

All we can really say is that his name is EBENEZER. That he is Rev EBENEZER described above is still in doubt. EBENEZER was born at Weymouth, Norfolk, Massachusetts, USA, on 21 December 1709.^3,4 He married ?MARY MORSE (MOSS) at Danbury, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA, on 20 October 1736.^5,4 EBENEZER died on 11 September 1779 at Danbury, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA, at age 69.⁴

     POLLY ANN MILLS See husband's text. Helen Schatvet Ullman, expert on the Mills family has shown that POLLY MILLS cannot have been a member of the Treat and Abigail (Curtis) Mills family. POLLY was born at Huntington, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA, on 27 November 1755.^1,2 She married Pvt EBENEZER DURAND [Du48] at Huntington, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA, on 22 May 1774. Beach gives this date as 4 Oct 1784 (actually it is handwritten in red ink into the Beach manuscript, perhaps by Prof William Frederick Durand). Durand Family gives it as 4 Oct 1784. Harvey Durand gives it as 22 May 1774, Huntington CT..^3,4,2 POLLY died on 8 October 1806 at Stepney, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA, at age 50. Her husband's second marriage took place on 1 Jun 1810. Her last known birth occurred 14 Sep 1803. Harvey Durand affidavit gives it as 8 Oct 1806, Stepney CT, ae 50 yrs 10 mos 11 das., implies birthdate is 27 Nov 1755..^1,2

     ?Capt TREAT MILLS [Mi31] Stiles, Windsor, 496:

"Treat (Capt.)."

Peter Mills, p 56:

"31. TREAT^4 MILLS (Jedidiah^3 Peter^2,1), son of Jedidiah and Abigail (Treat) Mills, was probably born in Ripton Parish, then in Stratford but now Shelton, Conn., about 1734. He died in January 1771, probably in New York City, although his will was proved in both New York 25 January 1771 and Stratford 14 June. He married, surely by 1756, ABIGAIL CURTIS who was born in Stratford 10 October 1731, daughter of William and Prudence (Judson) Curtis (StV).^[1] She was living at least as late as 1781 if not 1795 (see below). William Curtis' will dated 12 June 1767 mentions his daughter "Abigal, the wif [sic] of Treat Mills of Stratford."^[2].

Treat bought land in Styratford in 1756 and 1757, received gifts of land from his parents in 1761 and 1762 and sold some in 1763 and 1768. In the last of htese deeds, on 11 January 1768, he was still "of Stratford" (StD 15:145). Perhaps he lived some time in New York City or possibly only owned property and did business there. He also owned land in Derby and Woodbury, Conn. He was appointed ensign of the Ripton Co. in the 4th Regisment in October 1760. In October 1763 he became lieutenant and in October 1766 captain of the same company.^[3]

His will, dated 4 January 1771, was proved in New York City 25 January 1771^[4] and in Stratford 14 June 1771. The latter copy reads:

I Treat Mills of Stratford ... my beloved wife Abigail Mills and my children to wit my Daughter Abigail, my Son William Curtis, my Daughter Mary Ann, my Daughter Sarah, my Son Jonathan Treat, my Daughter Triphinia and the child or children wherewith my wife now is or at the time of my departure from her was pregnant ... I appt my said beloved wife Abigail Mills and my brother Elisha Mills ... [executors] ... nominate and appt my friend Benjamin Stout of the city of New York [executor in N.Y.] .... ^[5]"

     Rev JEDEDIAH MILLS [Mi13] Stiles (Windsor), pp 495-6:

"Jedidiah3 (Rev.) (Peter,2 Peter1), gr. Yale Coll. 1722. Dexter's Annals Y.C. says of him: "During his college course he was one of the the Wethersfield secession, gaining his education mostly from Rev. Elisha Williams. He showed such promise in theol. study that he was called, 2 Dec., 1723, to the then vacant ch. in North Haven, Conn., but, in preference, accepted the pastorhsip of a new society in the northern part of Stratford, Conn., called Ripton (now Huntington), where he was ordained, 12 Feb., 1723/4. It offered but a poor living, but he remained there until his death (52 yrs.), "greatly lamented after a few minutes' illness," 19 Jan., 1776, in his 79th year, and the 52d of his ministry, having had a colleague in Oct., 1773. He eked out his scanty living by preparing students for college, among whom was Rev. David Brainard, after he was exiled from Yale Coll, and until he was licensed "a dear man of God" who "talked like one who was no novice in divine things." He was "a warm-hearted divine, and entered fully into the spirit and preaching of Whitefield and Tennant, and co-operated with Bellamy and Edwards.

""The Treat Family" by J.H. Treat says that she was the daughter of Capt. Robert and Abigail (Camp) Treat (pp. 181, 198), but neither the administration of Robert's estate in 17212 nor Milford deeds confirm this." She was baptized at Milford, New Haven, Connecticut, USA, on 11 June 1704. Religion: (an unknown value).^4,1 She married Rev JEDEDIAH MILLS [Mi13] at Stratford, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA, on 16 June 1726. Abbott gives 16 Jun 1727; LDS 16 Jun 1726. Orcutt does not give date but gives name of wife as Abigail..^5,6,1,7,3 ABIGAIL died on 2 November 1775 at Huntington, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA, at age 71.^6,1,8,3 Her body was interred at Huntington, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA.^6,3

     Polly Stow See text for husband. She is probably Polly Stow who m1 Mr Williams. Evidence is Ahira Brooks' affidavit in EBENEZER DURAND's pension file where he claims that his wife and Polly Stow were sisters and that Polly Stow was her maiden name. In Polly's own affidavit she claims to have been Polly Williams at her marriage to EBENEZER but does NOT say it was her maiden name, despite claims to that effect elsewhere in the file.

There is an 1810 CT Census for Waterbury, New Haven Co that has this:

Polly Williams 2M 0-10 1F 26-44.

Helen Ullmans' researches:

"A Polly Stow, daughter of Daniel, was born at Torrington, Connecticut, on 7 September 1775 [7]. There were several Stow families in Middletown, Connecticut, where Ebenezer tried to obtain pension funds from a bank in 1823."

("7. Rev. Samuel Orcutt, History of Torrington, Connecticut (Albany: J. Munsell, 1878), 767. Other children were Prudence, b. 17 Sep. 1769; Daniel b. 10 Aug. 1771; and William, b. 9 June 1773. A Mary Stow married Daniel Williams in Massachusetts on 11 March 1804 (IGI), but this appears in Vital Records of Marlborough, Massachusetts ..., 328. The same volume shows that Daniel died on 25 Oct. 1810 age 35 (p. 402)."). Polly was born circa 1775.^1,6 She married (?) Williams before 1810.^7,2 She married Pvt EBENEZER DURAND [Du48] at Harriet Bacon's father's house, Barkhamsted, Litchfield, Connecticut, USA, on 1 June 1810. "Ebenezer's pension file contains depositions by Ahira Brooks and Harriet H Bacon... Taken together with census records for Sturgis, MI, it seems that the marriage must have taken palce in Ahira's house in Barkamsted." Helen Schatvet Ullman's draft re EBENEZER..^8,1,9 Polly was listed as the head of a family on the in 1810 Census at ?Waterbury, CT. I am not positive this is our Polly Stow Williams.^4,10 She resided at Litchfield, Connecticut, USA, on 31 January 1826.¹¹ Polly was listed as the head of a family on the in 1830 Census at Barkhamsted, Litchfield, Connecticut, USA.¹² She moved circa 1834 at Branch, Michigan, USA.¹³ She moved circa 1852 at Iowa, USA.¹⁴ Polly applied for a military pension at Benton, Iowa, USA, on 20 April 1854.¹ Polly died at Benton, Iowa, USA. Durand Family actually gives Benton IA as deathplace, but I believe this should be Benton Co to be consistent. NB Benton IA is not in Benton Co IA..¹⁵
