"Ebenezer was a boatbuilder, clockmaker and mechanic. He lived at the Hyland House in Guilford, making improvements on it that survive to this day. He was also one of the first Colonial clockmakers, making several timepieces for churches, including one for Guilford's Congregational Church. That clock now is on display in the attic of the Rev. Henry Whitfield's Stone House. West Parish church records show he was named collector Dec. 15, 1719, and again on Dec. 22, 1724. The Guilford selectmen gave him permission Dec. 15. 1741, to build a wharf 'at the common landing place' with his own money, providing he let the public use it. Records of Christ Episcopal Church show that he was paid for work on the church on Jan. 2, 1746. And on Dec. 20, 1748, a motion was made for Ebenezer to install a window in the north side of the Meeting House over the canopy of the pulpit." (Jim Walters, "The Parmelee Family Magazine," Vol. 1, No. 3, May-June 1996, p. 56)]
