Company A

Private

Ebenezer, in an apparent burst of patriotic fervor, enlisted at age 51; he evidently became ill soon thereafter, and spent most of his enlistment period in the hospital. I've found numerous subsequent post-war requests for a disability pension. His son, Dwight Wilson Bennett, ran a store in Silvermine (or Wilton?).
