Son of Jeremiah Carleton and Eunice Taylor.
Married 3 Jun 1784 New Hampshire to Rebecca Farrar.
To their union was born 5 children:
Timothy Carleton, Ebenezer, Carleton, Rebecca Carleton, Jeremiah Carleton, and John Montgomery Carleton.
They resided at Danbury Four Corners, Danbury, Merrimack, New Hampshire; Fisk Place in New Hampton, Belknap, New Hampshire and on north bank of the Smith's River; and in 1799 were the first settlers on a farm in the Borough, Hill, Merrimack, New Hampshire.
Revolutionary War Soldier:
Ebenezer's descendants claim that he was General George Washington's Purveyor, and this claim appears to be well taken. By the Revolutionary War Rolls it appears that he first enlisted 1 Aug 1775, in Captain Benjamin Mann's Company, Col. James Reed's Regiment. He was in Col. Scammel's Regiment from 1777 to 1781, and his company was selected by General George Washington as his body guard, 1 Jan 1779, and was known as "Washington's Life Guard." That Washington should select one of this Company for his purveyor was but natural. He was discharged for disability occasioned by being thrown from his horse. At his discharge General George Washington presented him with a pair of pistols and Rebecca Carleton with a gold watch, as tokens of regard.
