Calling Descendants of General Ebenezer Mattoon
For all of you that descend from the General and his wife Mary Dickinson Mattoon, I thought I'd let you know that Amherst (where he lived and died) is celebrating their 250th anniversary next year (2009). As part of that celebration, the city is renovating, replacing, repairing tombstones in the old graveyard including the General's that has been broken in half. Some of us plan to participate in the parade (possibly in period costumes) and/or participate at the "unveiling" of the new tombstone. If you're interested, e-mail me at [email protected] and I'll give you the Amherst celebration website. The General and Mary are my 4th g.grandparents.
