Ebenezer Battle

Captain Ebenezer Battle, also known as Ebenezer Battelle, represented Dedham, Massachusetts in the Great and General Court.[1] He was also a selectman in 1779.[2] Battle fought the retreating British soldiers following the battles of Lexington and Concord.[3] One of his men, Elias Haven, died at Menotomy.[3] After the fighting ended, his men walked the entire length of the battlefield, collecting weapons and burying the dead.[3]

He had one son, Ebenezer Battelle.[4] He was described as "one of the industrious honest yeomanry of the good old bay state who duly appreciated the value of learning."[4]
