Which Ebenezer Sherman was Bathsheda Ford married to

Question

Bathsheda Ford [[Ford-12756|Bathsheba Ford (abt.1691-)]] married an Ebenezer Sherman. The question is which Ebenezer Sherman did she marry, the father [[Sherman-536|Ebenezer Sherman (1680-1759)]] as a second marriage, or the son [[Sherman-4044|Ebenezer Sherman (abt.1712-1786)]] as a first marriage as currently listed in WikiTree? She would have been 39 years old when she married the son Ebenezer who would have been 18 years old based upon the marriage source. It seems more appropriate that she is the 2nd wife of the father.

The father is part of the Mayflower Project WikiTree. I don't want to make changes without guidance.

Answer 1

I believe it was the father.... From his father's bio it says ...

The will of Ebenezer Sherman of Marshfield, “labourer” dated 10 January 1759 and proved 14 February 1759, mentioned his sons: William (eldest), Ebenezer, Elisha, Robert and John; daughters: Rachel Joyce, Elizabeth Witherell, Abigail Carver, and Barsheba Walker; and his wife, Bathsheba Sherman^[6]

Bathsheba is not mentioned as a wife for the elder Ebenezer Sherman. His first wife died in 1726.
