Ebenezer Gove came to Wentworth, from Hampton, N. H., about 1774 or 1775.
He came in company with Enoch Page, one of the original grantees of the
town, and was one of the first settlers here. In 1787 he located on the farm
where his grandson David now resides, and lived there until his death in
1840. He married twice and reared a family of seven children. His sons,
Enoch, Winthrop, Edward and William, all occupied the old homestead until
their death. Mr. Gove took an active part in town affairs, was selectman,
&c. His son Winthrop was selectman many years, and William represented the
town in the legislature. The former reared a family of five children, three
of whom are living, as follows: Mrs. Dolly Marden, of Plymouth, and David
and Ebenezer, both of this town.
