3. EBENEZER, son of Ebenezer (1).
The following from the pen of Judge Barton appeared in the Worcester Spy soon after his death :-
" He was born, lived and died upon the 40 acre lot originally assigned to his father, who was one of the 30 English settlers. . . . At the commencement of the Revolution Capt. Humphrey was in the vigor of his manhood and early participated in the privations and perils of the war. He was out as First Lieut. at New York in 1776, at the taking of Burgoyne in 1777, and after- wards commanded a company stationed near Rhode Island to guard the shores. But during the war his services at home were little less valuable than in the field. It is a singular fact but it must be an acknowledged one that the war of the Revolution originated in the spirit of our towns, and was prosecuted by their means. . Capt. Humphrey shared largely in the administration of these municipal affairs, and notwithstanding his means were limited he con- tributed what would be equivalent to one-third of the support of one soldier during the war. Under the pension law of 1832 he received a partial return

for the great sacrifice he had made in the service of his country. He always spoke with much feeling of the distresses of the people after the war, grow- ing out of a depreciated currency, coupled with enormous taxation. It finally led to Shays' Rebellion. But although Oxford was a Shays town Capt. Hum- phrey stood firmly on the side of the government and the laws; and when he found great numbers of his friends embodied and about to rush into civil war he coolly advised them that they 'had better go home.' He was a patriot in the true and best sense of the term. His patriotism was based on a sense of civil and religious duty and not on a miserable selfishness that seeks nothing but popular favor. He was long one of the deacons of the Congregational Church in Oxford. His character was not less remarkable for his piety than his patriotism : and he will long be remembered as a sample of those men of another age who not only had the valor to achieve, but the virtue to perpetuate our national independence."
He was in 1777 chosen selectman and later from 1785 to 1802 was every year re-elected and from 1795 was chairman. From 1796 onward for six years he was each year moderator of the annual town meeting. He was a man of more than ordinary physical strength, and was of a commanding aspect; in temperament genial and inclined to humor, by trade a mason, in- dustrious and exemplary. He m.
