Mr Sergeant; I am the Great x 4 Grandson of Ebenezer Sargent and PhebeColburn, ("the widow Flanders") in your records. I thought that this might be of interest to you as I got it from "The Sons of the American Revolution" and a book about Phebe's family.
Respectfully,
Anthony W. McPherson (Tony)
Revolutionary War Vet from Orange County, Vermont. (According to "The History of Clinton and Franklin County, New York) He was stationed in Chateaugay, New York after enlistment and apparently stayed in the area.
According to pension records however, he was from Weare, New Hampshire. His daughter, Hannah, was 15 when he applied for a pension in 1820, which would make her of the appropriate age in these records. He was living in Franklin County, New York when he first applied for a pension in 1818. His widow applied for his pension in 1836 at age 95.
According to "Virgil White's Rev. War pension Abstracts, Vol. III p. 3018." (written as printed in that document)

His second wife Phebe was "the widow Flanders", her last name is thought to have been Colburn:
After her first husband, John Flanders, drowned, she married Ebenezer Sargent according to "The Flanders Family from Europe to America", compiled by Edith Flanders Dunbar, The Tuttle Publishing Company, Inc Rutland, BT 1935, page 120 -- Information from Gail Dreher--
She applied for her husband's pension in 1836 at age 95 according to "Virgil White's Rev. War Pension Abstracts, Vol III, p.3018". The same source notes that in 1820 she was 65 when her husband applied for a pension. These two applications puts her birth from 1741 to 1755
