(Please don't make changes again to the Life Sketch I wrote without checking with me first. Just common courtesy. Thanks!)
According to the book, "History of the Kimball Family in America..." which can be found online here: https://archive.org/stream/historyofkimball00morr#page/36/mode/2up (see page 51), Samuel Kimball married September 20, 1676, Mary Witt, daughter of John and Sarah Witt of Lynn, Massachusetts. This is true. However, other sources claim that Mary Witt, daughter of John and Sarah, married at Lynn one Samuel Stocker, 6 June 1666, and it was her sister Martha, born 5 March 1658/9, who married Samuel Kimball in 1676. (For example, see The Witt Genealogy, which can be found online here: https://dcms.lds.org/delivery/DeliveryManagerServlet?dps_pid=IE184841). This is false. The Mary who married Samuel Stocker in 1666 was this Mary's sister-in-law, the widow of her brother Jonathan. There is ample evidence of this, including the fact that after his death, Jonathan's daughter picked her step-father, Samuel Stocker, as her guardian.

There is no birth record for Mary. There is, however, compelling proof that the wife of Samuel Kimball had to have been born about 1660, or perhaps just a little before.
If Mary was born about 1660 she would have been about 16 years old when she married Samuel Kimball. Her first child was born in 1677 and she continued to have children until Jerusha was born in 1703. If she was born in 1660 then she would have been 43 years old at the time her last child was born. This is probably about the right time frame - women in the 1670s would not likely have been married any earlier than about 16 years old, and could not have children any later than about 43 years old. She spent more than 26 years having children, which is about the absolute maximum possible.
In Wenham vital records, the following marriage record appears:
Kimball, Samuell and Marah Witt, Sept. 20, 1676.
This name, Marah, looks not quite like Mary, and not quite like Martha.
Several of Samuel's children have birth listings in Wenham vital records:
Kimball, Samuell, s. Samuell, Aug. 19, 1677. CTR
Kimball, Sarah, d. Samuell, 6: 7m: 1678. CTR
Kimball, John, s. Samuell, Nov. 13, 1687. CTR
Kimball, Thomas, s. Samuel and Mary, Feb. 22, 1695-6.
Kimball, Benjamin, s. Samuel and Marey, Apr. 17, 1698.
Kimball, Abbigall, d. Samuel, sr. and Marey, May 25, 1700.
Kimball, Jerushah, d. Samuell, sr. and Mary, Apr. 30, 1703.
In addition to the above information in Wenham vital records, the above-referenced book on the Kimball family supplies a birthdate for the "first' Martha of 24 May, 1680.

In all, this couple had 13 children - a very large family. The other children have only estimated birth dates in the Kimball book. See page 51.

So, it is a fact that in the birth records of many of his children, Samuel Kimball's wife is listed as "Mary" or "Marey" and not Martha. There is a record in Lynn for what is likely the birth of her younger sister, and it looks like this:
Witt, Martha, d. John and Sara, 5: 1m: 1658-9. CTR
John Witt's will, written in 1675 (see his listing on www.findagrave.com), mentions married daughter Ann Barnitt (Barney), daughter Elizabeth, daughter Sarah, unmarried daughter Marye unmarried daughter Martha, son John Witt, son Thomas Witt, wife Sarah, grandchild Hester Witt (and her father Jonathan Witt).
I am not sure when she died. There is a listing in Wenham vital records that looks like this:
Kimball, Mary, wid., at Beverly, Oct. 28, 1729. CR
and I think this is her husband's listing in Wenham vital records:
Kimball, Sameul, Ens., Oct. 3, 1716.

Mary blev gift med Samuel Kimball den 20 sep. 1676 i Wenham, Essex, Massachusetts, USA. Samuel (søn af Richard Kimball, Jr og Mary Cooley) blev født i 1651 i Ipswich, Essex, Massachusetts, USA; døde den 3 okt. 1716 i Wenham, Essex, Massachusetts, USA; blev begravet den 6 okt. 1716 i Wenham, Essex, Massachusetts, USA.

Ebenezer is listed in the book, "History of the Kimball Family in America..." which can be found online here: https://archive.org/stream/historyofkimball00morr#page/68/mode/2up . See page 68. According to this source, Ebenezer was the son of Samuel Kimball and Mary Witt. There were 13 children altogether - a very large family. Eight of the 13 children have exact birthdates provided. For Ebenezer is only says "about 1690." Some siblings have records listed in Wenham vital records:
Kimball, Samuell, s. Samuell, Aug. 19, 1677. CTR
Kimball, Sarah, d. Samuell, 6: 7m: 1678. CTR
Kimball, John, s. Samuell, Nov. 13, 1687. CTR
Kimball, Thomas, s. Samuel and Mary, Feb. 22, 1695-6.

Kimball, Abbigall, d. Samuel, sr. and Marey, May 25, 1700.
Kimball, Jerushah, d. Samuell, sr. and Mary, Apr. 30, 1703.

In addition to the above information in Wenham vital records, the above-referenced book on the Kimball family supplies a birthdate for the "first' Martha of 24 May, 1680.

Ebenezer's marriage intentions are found in Salisbury vital records:
Kimball, Ebinezer, of Boston, and Elizabeth Carr, int. May 24, 1712. NCTBK

There are many children listed in Wenham vital records for Ebenezer and Elizabeth, including:
Ebenezer, s. Ebenezer and Elisabeth, June 23, 1720.
Richard, s. Ebeneser and Elisabeth, Dec. 29, 1722.
Abigall, d. Ebenzer and Wlisabeth, Apr. 13, 1726.
Sarah, d. Ebenezur and Elisabeth, Apr. 16, 1728.
Anna, d. Ebenezur and Elisabeth, July 11, 1729.
Boys [Bouse. CR]., s. Ebenezer and Elisabeth, June 18, 1731.

According to the above-referenced Kimball history, Ebenezer and Elizabeth had 3 children before Ebenezer in 1720, all females - Elizabeth, Mary, and Dorothy. It gives a marriage date for Ebenezer and Elizabeth of June 9, 1712 (but didn't say where). Ebenezer Kimball's will was probated in 1773; in his will written earlier (March 17, 1769) he mentioned 9 children - Ebenezer, Richard, Boys, Dorothy, Elizabeth, Mary, Abigail, Sarah, and Anna. In this source there is more information about the three boys, but only a married name for Anna - no additional information for the girls. An exact birthdate is given for Elizabeth of 19 March 1712/13. I have been able to find this date on a record from Boston on ancestry.com for Eliza Kimball, daughter of Ebenezer Kimball. I think it likely that the family may have lived in Boston for a time before moving to Wenham before 1720. On page 68 of the above-mentioned book it says that Ebenezer lived in "Wenham and Beverly" before moving to Hopkinton in 1740. It appears that there are marriage records for all nine children of Ebenezer and Elizabeth in Hopkinton vital records.

There is a death record for the widow of Ebenezer Kimbal in Beverly in 1763. On page 68 of the above-mentioned book, it says that Ebenezer died in 1769. Obviously something is wrong here - Elizabeth couldn't have been called a widow in 1763 if her husband didn't die until 1769. And on page 68 it says that Ebenezer's wife was still alive when his will was probated in 1773.

Ebenezer's probate documents can be found on ancestry.com in a collection called "Massachusetts, Wills and Probate Records, 1635-1991." In his will, written in 1769, he mentions his wife Elizabeth, son-in-law James Hiscock, and his "other children Ebenezer, Richard, and Boys, and Dorothy, Elisabeth, Mary, Abigail, and Sarah."

Regarding the birth order of the first three daughters - I don't know for sure if Elizabeth or Dorothy was born first. It seems from the dates that Elizabeth was born first - so close to when her parents were married - but Dorothy was married first. Perhaps that is why Dorothy is mentioned first in her father's will?

He is the great-grandfather of Newell Kimball Whitney, second presiding Bishop of the LDS church, through son Boyce and granddaughter Susanna.

There are several men named John Kimball who were alive at the same time. Please be extra careful when you merge. Some of you have been making improper merges, merging two different men who have the same name into just one file. Thanks!
