Ebenezer Wood Ebenezer Wood (M) b. 06 Oct 1729 in Middleborough, Plymouth, Massachusetts , d. 18 Apr 1810 in New York, NY Ebenezer married Margaret Hubbard Ebenezer was the son of Jabez Wood (1690-1772) and Mercy Fuller (1696-1737) Ebenezer Wood begins with his appearance at Tappan, precise date not known, but not earlier, probably, than 1750. He was Deputy Sheriff of Orange Co. It is said that he was never known to be surprised into a sudden excitement of passion. "His uprightness and his mental and moral balance appeared conspicuously during the trying times of the Revolution, when every effort was made to entice him, as a conspicuous public man, into the support of the British cause. Deeply devoted as he was seen to be to the American interest, he was approached first from the stand-point of corruption, and then from that of intimidation, and when neither of these could move him, he was thence forward, in consequence of his fidelity, bitterly hated, sharply marked, and actively abused by the enemy. The end to him was the loss of all he had. The accumulations, such as they were, of his industry and prudence during the preceding 20 years and more, and even his official papers, were all carried off by a raid. At the close of the war he found himself with about $1600 in Continental money in his hands, which was soon found to be entirely worthless. The country was inundated with counterfeit money by the British, and this quickly depreciated the money of Congress to nothing, because the one could not be distinguished from the other. Sheriff Wood threw his paper at once into the fire, and quietly remarked, "We have our independence and I am satisfied."
