Rev. Ebenezer Redlon' (3), third son of Ebenezer³ (2), was born in

extraction, and resided several years in Gardiner, Kennebec County.
He removed to the West in 1837, and was a settled preacher many years.
Deceased at Pierceville, Ind., in 1873. When a young man he embraced
religion and became a gifted exhorter, but was swallowed up by the de-
moralizing doctrines of the notorious Jacob Cochran, and was an enthusi-
astic promulgator of the same pernicious principles; but in a little time
Cochran was exposed, and his followers scattered abroad. Ebenezer Red-
lon saw the folly of the whole system and subsequently became an able
defender of the doctrines of the Free Will Baptist Church. He was
quite tall, broad-shouldered, and compactly built; had the type of features
so common to the early Redlons. He had issue seven children, of whom
hereafter.
