83. Mehitabel HANCOCK was born in 1698 in Farmington, Hartford Co., CT. She died in 1756 at the age of 58 in Farmington, Hartford Co., CT.

Mehitabel HANCOCK and Ebenezer BARNES were married on 28 September 1743 in Southington, Hartford Co., CT. Ebenezer BARNES, son of Ebenezer BARNES and Deborah ORVIS, was born on 7 February 1700 in Farmington, Hartford Co., CT. He died on 12 December 1781 at the age of 81 in Farmington, Hartford Co., CT. The information available about Ebenezer Barnes is thoroughly confused. There was another Ebenezer Barnes b. 1697 who m. Mehitable Miller. Ebenezer b. 1700 married (1) Abigail abt. 1727 and (2) Mehitable Hancock abt. 1743. The children are variously distributed among them, sometimes before they were married. Mehitable Hancock would have been 45 when she married Ebenezer and probably past child-bearing age. Until better evidence is available, children should not be regarded as proven.
