LEARNED, EBENEZER, brother of Isaac, one of the 30 proprietors, settled at "upper falls," then the extreme north part, H. 130. In choosing this isolated locality he showed an independence characteristic of him. His dis- cerning eye saw in the water-power a desirable acquisition, and building a house with a palisade about it for protection and a saw-mill at the falls he lived and died here. His dwelling, considerably enlarged since first built, is still standing and is among the oldest houses in the town. Of his military history we have no record, he was, however, an officer in the militia from 1718 to 1750, and was known in all the region in his later life as "Colonel Learned." He was active in public affairs, a constituent member of the Church, and on the completion of the second Meeting-house at the north common 17 Nov., 1752, perhaps as donor of the building spot, had the first choice of the pews. He and his son-in-law, Edward Davis, were owners of large tracts of land in the northerly part of Oxford and Charlton. He also owned land in the North Gore and on Prospect Hill. Between 1717 [then aged 27] and 1756 he was 32 years selectman, many years the chairman, and between 1726 and 1762, 15 years moderator at the annual meeting; in 1718 Ensign, in 1726 Captain, in 1744 Major, and in 1747 Colonel; in 1731 and 1751 he was representative; justice of the peace. In 1749 a controversy arose in Brookfield involving the location of a Meeting-house. The matter was referred to three " uninterested worthy gentlemen;" of this committee Col. Learned was chairman. In his will he bequeathed more than 1000 acres of land to his sons Ebenezer and Jeremiah, and the homestead, which was a very large tract, to Jeremiah, on condition that he maintain his mother and the black servant Mingo, he

Ebeneser Learned 1777 2. EBENEZER, son of Ebenezer (1), inherited military tastes and became in those matters by far the most noted man of the town. He was early in the Oxford Company under Capt. Edward Davis, and when the French and Indian war came on was very influential in enlisting men, and at 28 years of age took command of a company raised for the service. Of his early life little is known, but there is evidence that he gave very little attention to study. On 27 Nov., 1750, his father deeded to him 200 acres of land on Prospect Hill, where he soon built the house now standing, H. 126.
While preparations for the northern expedition were in progress Col. Chand- ler wrote to the authorities at Boston as follows :-
" WORCESTER, Apr. 22, 1756.
"The bearer, Capt. Ebenezer Learned, is to have command of a company of men in Col. Ruggles' Regiment, and as guns and stores will be wanted for his company he will engage to bring them up if you please. " What Learned engages to do will be faithfully done." [Mass. Archives, LXXV., 536.]
During the summer of 1756 he enlisted, equipped and drilled his company, with the valuable aid, as tradition informs us, of Rev. John Campbell, who was skilled in military tactics, and on the ninth of September we find him at the head of 51 men, at Lake George, whither he had marched from Oxford. Of the details of his services here we have very little. Mr. Jennison in his papers, now in the archives of the American Antiquarian Society of Worces- ter, says he served from 1756 to 1763, and was at Fort Edward when Fort William Henry was beleaguered and marched without orders to its relief. There is reason, however, to believe that he returned home as early as 1758 as he was elected selectman in that year and each year following to 1764.
In Mass. Archives, B. LXXVIII., p. 242, appears a petition to the authori- ties setting forth that when he was in his Majesty's service in 1757, he " was taken bad with the small pox," and was put into the hospital at Fort Edward and continued there 28 days at a large expense to himself, asking remunera- tion, which was voted.
From the northern campaigns he returned to his farm where he for five years kept a public house, and as a town officer entered considerably into public business. The troubles with the mother country began soon, and in the excitement which followed he took a decided stand with the patriots and officially was active in influencing the doings of the town in that period of doubt and perplexity. In 1773 he was appointed agent of the town to sue for and collect the stock of ammunition yet outstanding, which service he did. When hostilities began he entered heartily into the contest, doing

efficient service, of which some account may be found under Revolutionary History.
His patriotism has never been questioned. He was unwavering in his devotion to his country, standing almost alone in his family and among the people of his neighborhood in his loyalty, and at the time of the Shays rebellion was almost the only man in his section of the town who adhered to the government. He was a marked man in this controversy and, as related, the Shays men decided on a certain night to pay him a visit. Having heard of their plan he took down a favorite gun, which he had carried in his Revolutionary campaigns, and procuring a musket for his son-in-law, Adjutant Pray, put them in order and loaded them with powder and ball, making no secret of what he had done. The visit was indefinitely postponed.
Gen. Learned was prominent in civil affairs, 25 years between 1758 and 1794 selectman, moderator several years, 1772 one of a committee of three to make answer to the petition of the inhabitants of the northeasterly part of the town, who, with parts of Worcester, Leicester and Sutton, asked to be set off as an independent corporation, later Ward; in 1778 he was chosen one of the first board of assessors, the selectmen having previously acted in that capaci- ty, in 1779 delegate to the convention at Cambridge for forming a State gov- ernment, and in 1783 representative. In Aug., 1776, the Court of Sessions at Worcester appointed him one of a committee to superintend the inoculating hospitals in Worcester County. He was a justice of the peace and officially present at the terms of court at Worcester for 1776, 1778, 1780 and 1783, and every year from 1787 to 1795.
He was one of the original proprietors of the town of Livermore, Me., which was granted to soldiers in the French war, and aided in dividing the lands to the settlers. A pension was granted to him for disability "com- mencing from 1793 and continuing until his death, 1801."
He received from his father the land on which the village known as "Texas" stands. Selling his farm on the hill he removed soon after his return from the war to a house, now taken away, which stood on a small rise of ground near the river a short distance north of the present Texas Village, and lived there until he had built the mansion known as the " Learned House," now standing, H. 117. In person he is said to have been above the average in size, erect, and in manner sedate and dignified. He was esteemed as a townsman and as a neighbor, was an efficient member of the Church, a con- stant attendant on public worship and for many years active in ecclesiastical affairs. The late George W. Hartwell, speaking of him said: "My father" (Samuel Hartwell, Esq., a man of ability and intelligence, and inti- mately acquainted with the General), "uniformly spoke of him with the greatest respect, and as I know held him in the highest esteem." He also remarked that Samuel Stone, Commissary under Learned, had a like regard for the old soldier. General Learned possessed the prerequisites of a great soldier, and so far as he had opportunity developed those qualities, and although hampered by a lack of early educational advantages, and in later years by ill health which cut short his service, he was able to establish for himself a worthy military reputation. Whatever his faults may have been no hint of them appears in the records. We may point with pride to the achievements of those two autumnal days in '1777 and say that in those terrible conflicts, when as it were the fate of our country was trembling in the balance, he did in his sphere invaluable service, and there earned for himself the gratitude and honorable remembrance of succeeding generations.
