Excerpt from PALMER GROUPS, by Leavitt: "Ebenezer Melvin resided on his father's homestead farm and owned and managed a saw mill in Groton, Grafton County, New Hampshire. A granddaughter now living (1901-5 in Plymouth, New Hampshire, says that her grandfather was a very devout and religious man and that, when a little child and he was living at her father's home, she used to stand by his door where she was attracted by the sound of his voice as he poured forth such fervid prayers, long and marked by such beauty of faith as to deeply impress her childish mind, as he plead for the spiritual welfare of his children in the home of her mother, where his last years were passed."
He was married to Joanna Bailey on 20 Feb 1777 in Hollis, Hillsboro County, New Hampshire. Joanna Bailey was born 30 January 1758 in Hollis, Hillsboro County, New Hampshire. Ebenezer and Joanna (Bailey) Melvin had fourteen (14) children born of the marriage.
