• Notes

  According to History and Genealogy of the Gov. John Webster Family of Connecticut (citation details below), while his parents lived in Salem, Massachusetts in 1676, he "lived near Lebanon, CT", which is where the Barbour Collection records the 1720 birth of Ebenezer Swetland, son of John and Sarah. Note: From 1724 to 1826, Lebanon was in Windham County, after which it was returned to New London County. The will of John Swetland can be read at ancestry.com here.
