It would appear Ebenezer married twice. The monument is confusing in that it doesn't distinguish between the two wives. The name "Maria" for the second wife (?) seems to be squished in on the monument and does not list a separate date of death. Cemetery records indicate a death of "Mrs. Ebenezer Briggs January 14, 1875". Maria Briggs is thus being listed as such.
Marriage record located: E. Briggs to E. Maria Lindsey, 24 Mar, 1858. Published; Buffalo Morning Express 31, Mar 1858)
This would be her second marriage - her first husband was John. Elizabeth Maria was widowed by the 1855 census.
