CREHORE, EBENEZER, came to Walpole as early as 1780. A deed in the possession of his 
grandson, John D., of Cleveland, Ohio, discloses the fact that he purchased of one of the Bellows
family a plot of fifty acres of land embracing the site where Mrs. William Buffum now resides, 
and the tradition in the Crehore family is that he built the house. He was a mechanic by 
occupation and did all the turning, by a foot lathe, for the pews of the old meeting-house, 
which was built in 1789. The old lathe is in the possession of Henry S. Allen, of this town, 
and does good service yet. It is inferred from old deeds in the possession of his grandson above
mentioned that he was a large landholder on Carpenter’s hill at one time, where he lived and 
died. He d. Sept. 23, 1819, aged 54; his wife, Hannah, d. Oct. 5, 1805, aged 71. Ch.
