1st wife: Permala (Clemons) Landon (1762- abt 1810)
2nd wife: Mary (Slater) Landon (1780-1845)
There is another memorial for Ebenezer Landon next to his 2nd wife Mary, which is a fake headstone with a fake death date at Berkshire Cemetery in Delaware County, Ohio. There are no records as to why this headstone was erected. Perhaps it is simply a cenotaph with the wrong death year. Memorial #31923668

EVENING CHRONICLE SYRACUSE AUG 29 1854:
DEATH OF AN OLD SOLDIER.--Besides the death of Mr. Townsend and Wm. W. Forsyth, both of Albany, we have also intelligence of the death of an old Revolutionary soldier, one of the few links between this age and the days that so tried mens souls. EBENEZER LANDON was born in 1760 and has just died at Sharon Springs in his 94th year.
He joined the Revolutionary army at the age of 17 and was in
most of the operations about New York in the latter years of the war. He had seen and conversed with Gen. WASHINGTON, and witnessed the Execution of Maj. Andre. And finally, at the conclusion of the War, he was one of the
seventeen, from a full company, who survived.
He left the city of New York in 1777, and has not been there since. For upwards of seventy years he was a member of the Episcopal church. He resided, some years after the Revolution, in Connecticut, moving from thence, first to Vermont then to Ohio, and finally finished the journey of life—having discharged its duties faithfully—at Sharon Springs, surrounded by his children, grand-children and great-grandchildren, leaving more than an hundred and
forty descendants
