Jeannie-ology
1.  WILLIAM BREWSTER (WILLIAM5, BENJAMIN4, JONATHAN3, WILLIAM2, WILLIAM1) was born Bef. 1701 in Lebanon, New London County,CT.  He married MEHITABLE ABEL 13 Dec 1716 in Lebanon. Is this WILLIAM BREWSTER the same who was brought up at Lebanon, CT, where he lived with his first wife, and married a second time at New Haven, New Haven County, CT, and then moved to "The Oblong" (The Oblong was a strip of land two and one-half miles wide along the Connecticut border, which had been ceded by the State of Conn. to New York in 1731 in exchange for lands along Long Island Sound) where they lived until 1754, when they moved to Virginia?  They remained in Virginia where General Bradick was defeated by the French in 1755.  In 1757, the indians drove WILLIAM and his family off, and they returned to "The Oblong" where he was still living as of February 1764. The Oblong adjoined the town of Ridgefield, Conn., and at the time was in
Dutchess County, NY, (later Putnam County). Some of the villages of the Oblong were called Nine Partners, Pawling, Crumebow, Phillips Patent--in New York, and New Milford, Sherman, New Fairfield--in Connecticut. EBENEZER BREWSTER, brother of WILLIAM, above, was born 1 Feb 1702/03 in Lebanon, CT.  He married ELIZABETH DE WOLF 13 Nov 1721 in Lebanon, CT, daughter of CHARLES DE WOLF and PRUDENCE.  It is very possible that ELIZABETH died after the birth of their 4th child in 1729, and EBENEZER may have remarried, producing a "second" family.  EBENEZER and WILLIAM were in "The Oblong" as early as March 1746/7, and were taxed there in 1747/48 through June 1753.  It is highly likely that both EBENEZER and WILLIAM removed with their families to Virginia.  We know that WILLIAM returned to "The Oblong" in 1757,
and was still there in 1764.  However, we do not know anything further about EBENEZER and his descendants, unless they remained in Virginia, and are part of the puzzle of those seeking the ancestors of COMFORT BREWSTER who died in
Wythe County, VA, in 1799.

I am trying to make the connection with my Tilden family in Lebanon, CT to the STEPHEN TILDEN family in Scituate, Mass.
