[137] Excerpt from an old letter." Ephraim said in 1823 that he had beenmarried, had two children and buried his wife. His second wife wasGratie Hancock who most likely died during childbirth. After herdeath Ephraim left for parts unknown and was never heard fromafterward by his niece Harriet Wright of South Troy, VT. His nephew,Rufus A. French of Saxonville saw him in South Andover, MA in 1827,but knows nothing later of him." Murray M. Brown, Descendents ofIsaac Amsden of Cambridge Massachusetts, (1934).

[52] It would seem that he died a comparatively young man or about 1760from administration papers of his estate in 1760: Worcester ProbateCourt Records. It is from these papers that we learn that he had 60acres of land, valued at 46 pounds 13 shilling and 4 pence, in thetown of Petersham. .It seems entirely probable that this Ephraim wasthe forbear (sic) of the Petersham Ephraim who married Betsey Woodwardinstead of Ephraim, the son of Jesse of Soughboro, Mass. The names ofall his children are found in these administration papers. Murray M.Brown, Descendents of Isaac Amsden of Cambridge Massachusetts, (1934).
