He signed up for nine months and trained in Rhode Island for a month before eventually deploying north to Springfield, Massachusetts, in October 1779, where he signed up for another nine months and was variously placed under the commands of the 6th company of Colonel Hathaway's regiment, Captain L. Bailey's company, and Captain Woodbridge's company. Ebenezer was discharged on April 11, 1780. His service records describe him as 5' 10" tall with a dark complexion, brown hair, and gray eyes.
