Birth unknown, but Pennsylvania logical choice

Military: Joined Mormon Battalion and after his discharge from service, he went to the Gold Fields of California and was lost track of by family. Pam Johnson said that Ebenezer is listed as a founding pioneer of California, but disappears a few years later. He went there with the Mormon Battalion but stayed on when the company was disbanded. He never returned home or contacted family again. He was presumed dead. [Vaughn Families of Elizabethtown, Leeds, Ontario by Pamela Call Johnson June 1994]

Elder Little talked with the president of the United States who received him kindly and stated that he believed the Mormons to [p.411]be loyal Americans. It was at this time that Colonel Thomas L. Kane took up the cause of the Mormons knowing them to be brave souls enduring more than should be asked of any people. The first plan was that a Battalion of one thousand men be raised, officered by its own men with the exception of the commander. President Polk hoped that a thousand more could be sent by way of Cape Horn in a United States transport to dash into California and take possession of it in the name of the United States. This plan was changed through the influence of Senator Benton of Missouri.

Then came the adoption of the general plan of operation involving the calling of five hundred volunteers. Colonel Kearney was authorized to receive into service, as volunteers, a few of the Mormons on their way to California, "with a view to conciliate them, attach them to our country, and prevent them from taking part against us." Upon receipt of the orders Colonel Kearney, Commander of the Army of the West, sent Captain James Allen to the camp of the Saints to muster the Battalion, march them to Fort Lavenworth where they would be armed and equipped.
Enlisting the Men
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.4, p.411
It was on Wednesday July 1, 1846 at Council Bluffs, that President Brigham Young introduced Captain James Allen of the United States Army to the people who had gathered to hear his message. Captain Alien addressed the people and told them that through the benevolence of the President of the United States an order had been given to S. F. Kearney to enlist men to take part in the war against Mexico. He read the orders which had been issued at Mr. Pisgah explaining the part the Mormons would play.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.4, p.411
When addressing the assembly on this day, President Young said he wished the brethren to make a distinction between the action of the United States government and the oppressions to which they had been subjected in Missouri and Illinois. He said: "The question might be asked, is it prudent for us to enlist to defend our country? If we answer in the affirmative—all are ready to go. Suppose we were admitted to the Union as a State and the Government did not call on us—we could feel ourselves neglected. Let the 'Mormons' be the first men to set their feet on the soil of California. Captain James Allen has assumed the responsibility of saying that we may locate on Grand Island until we can prosecute our journey. This is the best offer we have ever had from the government to benefit us. I propose that five hundred volunteers be mustered, and I would do my best to see all their families brought forward, so far as my influence can be extended and feed them when I have anything to eat myself.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.4, p.411
"Captain James Allen said, that he would write President Polk to give us leave to stay on the route where it was necessary; the soldiers' [p.412]daily rations would be eighteen ounces of bread and twenty ounces of beef or twelve ounces of bacon and they should be paid every two months."
President Young and Heber C. Kimball decided that they would go to Mr. Pisgah where part of the Saints were camped to further the recruiting. From Mr. Pisgah, written July 7th, a letter was sent to the Saints at Garden Grove:
"We must take these five hundred men from among the teamsters and send them without delay. If there is anyone among you over eighteen and under forty five that wants to and can go, let him be at Council Bluffs forthwith. Drummers and fifers are wanted. Where is Bro. Hames and the rest of the band? The places of these five hundred teamster-soldiers must be immediately supplied, and we want you to gather up all the old men and boys and all the others who are capable of going into the army, driving oxen, herding cattle and sheep, milking cows, chopping wood, drawing water, cutting grass, pitching and stacking hay, etc., from the farms, and those who may be in Missouri at work and all others within call, and dispatch them to Council Bluffs forthwith, or five hundred teams must be left without drivers. Captain Allen guarantees to us the privilege of staying anywhere we please on Indian lands if we send these five hundred men to California but recommends Grand Island in the Platte River, as the best place."
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.4, p.412
Again on July 7th, 1846, another letter was sent to the few who remained in Nauvoo, Illinois telling of the plan offered by the government of the United States. In the closing paragraphs President Young said: "Now, brethren, is the time for action, and if you succeed in selling all our property in Hancock County, and we unitedly succeed in removing all the poor Saints this fall, we shall soon be where we can rejoice in each other's society, and by early spring, can move a portion of the camp over the mountains and next year plant our corn in yonder valley. This is the first time the government has stretched forth its arms to our assistance, and we receive their proffer with joy and thankfulness. We feel confident that the Battalion will have little or no fighting. Their pay will take their families to them. The Mormons will then be the older settlers and have a chance to choose the best locations. The principle of the thing is not new to us, though we have thought best to say but little about it; it is all right and we have given you particulars the first opportunity.
Most of the volunteers started immediately for Council Bluffs after receiving the instructions.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.4, p.413
I have come among you, instructed by Col. S. F. Kearney of the U.S. Army, now commanding the Army of the West, to visit the Mormon camp, and to accept the service for twelve months of four or five companies of Mormon men who may be willing to serve their country for that period in our present war with Mexico; this force to unite with the Army of the West at Santa Fe, and be marched thence to California, where they will be discharged.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.4, p.413
They will receive pay rations, and other allowances, such as other volunteers or regular soldiers receive, from the day they shall be mustered into the service, and will be entitled to all comforts and benefits of regular soldiers of the army, and when discharged as contemplated, at California, they will be given gratis their arms and accoutrements for which they will be fully equipped at Fort Leavenworth. This is offered to the Mormon people now. This is an opportunity of sending a portion of their young and intelligent men to the ultimate destination of their whole people, and entirely at the expense of the United States, and this advanced party can thus pave the way and look out for the land for their brethren to come after them. Those of the Mormons who are desirous of serving their country, on the conditions here enumerated, are requested to meet me without delay at their principal camp at Council Bluffs, whither I am going to consult with their principal men, and to receive and organize the force contemplated to be raised.
Treasures of Pioneer History, Vol.4, p.413
I will receive all healthy, able-bodied men from eighteen to forty-five years of age.

Note—I hope to complete the organization of this battalion in six days after my reaching Council Bluffs, or within nine days from this time.
It was on Monday, July 13th, when according to appointment, Jefferson Hunt called out the first company of volunteers. Willard [p.414]Richards and William Clayton took minutes of the proceedings. President Young addressed the group and promised that, "the blessings we are looking forward to receive will be attained through sacrifice…. We want to conform to the requisition made of us and we will do nothing else until we have accomplished this thing. If we want the privilege of going where we can worship God according to the dictates of our own conscience we must raise this battalion….We can do what other people cannot, all the fighting that will be done will be among yourselves. There are more than eight hundred men on their way from Mr. Pisgah, but we do not want to wait for them. We can raise five hundred now and those who come up will take care of the teams you leave. The Revolutionary Fathers attributed their victory to Providence. We reverence them."
He then reminded the people that they had been told so many times to get out of the places where they had lived, and now a privilege had come to them for which he thanked God and the President of the United States. He promised them that the private would be as much honored as an officer and the suggestion was made and passed that the President choose the officers for the several companies. Captain Allen said it was necessary for a soldier to take, "a blanket and great coat, shirt, pantaloons, socks and shoes on his back—take that which you use everyday, if you choose. You had better take woolen clothing which will last; blankets can be procured and they are necessary."

History of Mormon Battalion: http://www.mormonbattalion.com/history/brief.shtml
The need to assist the U. S. Army in the Mexican war was urgent [1846]. President James K. Polk instructed the Secretary of War, William L. March to authorize Col. (later General) Stephen W. Kearney, Commander of the Army of the West, to enlist a battalion of 500 Mormons for this purpose. Captain James Allen was ordered to proceed to the Mormon Camps in Iowa to recruit five companies of 75 to 100 men each.
The Mormons had many reasons to be reluctant to enlist: They had received no protection from persecution and mob action in Missouri and Illinois; their families were destitute and spread over a wide area; they had hundreds of miles of hostile Indian territory to cross; they worried how their families would suffer in the bitter plains winter; and of course, the Mormons had particularly close family ties and were concerned about protection for their families located on the western frontier.
However, President Brigham Young and the governing Council of the L.D.S. Church urged the men to enlist, telling them it was their patriotic duty to join. Five companies totaling over 500 men were mustered in at Council Bluffs, Iowa on July 16, 1846. There were 32 women, of which 20 were laundresses hired at private's pay, that left with the Battalion. They made the longest march in military history consisting of 2,000 miles from Council Bluffs, Iowa to San Diego, California.
President Brigham Young told them: "Brethren, you will be blessed, if you will live for those blessings which you have been taught to live for. The Mormon Battalion will be held in honorable remembrance to the latest generation; and I will prophesy that the children of those who have been in the army, in defense of their country, will grow up and bless their fathers for what they did at that time. And men and nations will rise up and bless the men who went in that Battalion. These are my feelings in brief respecting the company of men known as the Mormon Battalion. When you consider the blessings that are laid upon you, will you not live for them? As the Lord lives, if you will but live up to your privileges, you will never be forgotten, without end, but you will be had in honorable remembrance, for ever and ever."
In addition to the 500 men, some of the officers chose to take their families and their possessions and their own wagons at no expense to the government, which the Army permitted. There were 15 or 16 families, including 50 or 55 children and dependents, who left Council Bluffs with the Battalion.
In 1954 the present organization called the U. S. Mormon Battalion, Inc. was formed to help fulfil Brigham Young's prophecy to those Mormon Battalion men. Also an Auxiliary to the USMB was formed for the women.

"Original Circular to the Mormons"
(Presented by Brigham Young and Captain James Allen
on July 1, 1846 at Council Bluffs, Iowa)

"I have come among you, instructed by Col. S.F. Kearney of the U.S. Army, now commanding the Army of the West, to visit the Mormon camp, and to accept the service for twelve months of four or five companies of Mormon men who may be willing to serve their country for that period in our present war with Mexico; this force to unite with the Army of the West at Santa Fe, and be marched thence to California, where they will be discharged.
"They will receive pay rations, and other allowances, such as other volunteers or regular soldiers receive, from the day they shall be mustered into the service, and will be entitled to all comforts and benefits of regular soldiers of the army, and when discharged as contemplated, at California, they will be given gratis their arms and accoutrements for which they will be fully equipped at Fort Leavenworth. This is offered to the Mormon people now. This is an opportunity of sending a portion of their young and intelligent men to the ultimate destination of their whole people, and entirely at the expense of the United States, and this advanced party can thus pave the way and look out for the land for their brethren to come after them.
"Those of the Mormons who are desirous of serving their country, on the conditions here enumerated, are requested to meet me without delay at their principal camp at Council Bluffs, whither I am going to consult with their principal men, and to receive and organize the force contemplated to be raised.
"I will receive all healthy, able-bodied men from eighteen to forty-five years of age."
