I bought a photocopy of Ebenezer Deuel's will, and the transcription below is mine. I had some trouble with just a few words and some names.
I think that Ebenezer was the son of George Deuel and Margaret Soule,who were second cousins.
This will shows that Ebenezer was the father of Permelia Deuel, who married Richard Russell. Richard and Permelia moved to Ohio, according to other records besides this will.
I descend from Richard Russell, but I do not have the names of Richard's parents. Any help appreciated.
