Ephraim Packard

  General Notes:

Ephraim went "Westward" with his brother Abraham to settle in Belchertown, which later became part of Enfield, a section of which became known as "Packardville". He was originally buried in Enfield, but was reinterred in Quabbin Cemetery, Ware, Mass. in the 1930's.
------------------------------

Ephraim married Sarah Packard, daughter of Zaccheus Packard and Sarah Howard. (Sarah Packard was born on 19 August 1682 in North Bridgewater, New Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States ^{1 2 3} and died on 14 February 1754 in Bridgewater, Plymouth, Massachusetts, United States.)

  Marriage Notes:

Note: If the age of Sarah is correct, then I believe that this marriage is highly doubtful. There is a difference in age of over 69 years between Ephraim and Sarah. Sarah's last born child was in 1706 when she was already 23 years old. By the time Ephraim was born, Sarah would have already been about 69 years old which means that by the time Ephraim was about 20 years old and ready for marriage, his bride would have been about 89 years old. Very doubtful! [Brian L. Lightfoot]
