The Fiske family: a history of the family (ancestral and descendant) of Wm Fisk Sr. of Amherst, NH; compiled by Albert A. Fiske, Chicago, IL 1867
EBENEZEK FISK
Ebenezer, 4th son of William and Susanna Fiske, removed from Wenbam to Amherst, with his father, when but eleven years of age, and resided in that place until his majority. Owing to the reduced circumstances of the family, occasioned by the bankruptcy of his father's brother-in-law, (Mr. White), for whom his father had largely endorsed, and the early demise of the latter after his removal, Ebenezer Fisk had few educational privileges. But, like his elder brothers, he inherited a powerful physical frame, a strong native intellect, and possessed, with good moral qualities, an indomitable will. Many and remarkable are the feats of strength and endurance related of him, when in the prime of his powers, while his excellent common sense and well-known integrity made him a trusted counselor among his fellow-townsmen, in Mt. "Vernon, where he subsequently resided and for many years filled various local offices.
In 1782 he married Abigail Woodbury, born in Beverly, Mass., March 7, 1766, and 2nd daughter of James Woodbury, of Mt. Vernon, N. H., (near Amherst), to which place he at once removed.
