Notes - Boomer Elsbree is listed as "cousin" in the 1759 will of Lydia Boomer of Freetown, MA. She was his grand-aunt.
Boomer Elsbree, listed as Bomer Elesbery, served as a Revolutionary War soldier. He was a Corporal in Captain Joseph Durfee's company at Freetown. He was also a Colonel in Pope's regiment. He was engaged 7 Dec 1776 and discharged 17 Dec 1776, during which time he served 10 days when the company marched to RI on an alarm. I don't the other dates during which he may have served -- needs more research.
In the 1790 Federal Census, Boomer Elsberry is listed as a resident of Freetown, MA. His household consists of: 2 FWM 16+, 4 FWM <16, and 4 FWF. Possibly the two FWMs 16 and over are Boomer himself and his son Joshua. It appears that there are 4 more sons and three daughters, plus his wife, most likely.
In the 1800 Federal Census at Freetown, Bristol Co., MA, Boomer Elsbree and household are listed as follows: 3 males <10, 1 male 10<16, 3 males 16<26, 1 male >45, 1 female 10<16, and 1 female >45; no people of color are indicated. If all these individuals are the immediate family, we can assume that in 1800 Boomer had at least 7 sons and 1 daughter living at home. This needs more research.
Boomer is listed next to Joseph Brightman 3rd.
Ephraim Elsbree is also listed in Freetown. This may be Boomer's father, or possibly another relative.
In 1810, Boomer Elsbra and family are in Somerset, MA. There are 9 individuals in the household, including only one daughter who must be Mercy..
In 1820 Boomer and family are in Troy, Bristol Co., MA (Fall River). In addition to Boomer and Hannah, there are 3 young males in the household -- probably Edumund, Aaron, and Thomas. I don't see evidence of Rebecca.
I am not sure about whether the last two children really belong here, but they are included in "The Luther Genealogy" p. 280. They don't appear to be in the censuses with the family in 1810 or 1820.
According to family notes, "Boomer was given half the farm from the shore to Elsbree St. Boomer sold it to a Brownell for $1200. Boomer and Brownell went to Tolland, Conn. to settle . . . "
