Perhaps the coffin plate is of Ebenezer McMullen of Rawdon Township, Hastings County, Ontario, Canada, and Seymour Twp, Northumberland Co. Ontario

From my notes:

He was born abt 1817 in Rawdon Twp. Hastings County. He died in Seymour Twp, Northumberland County.

His estimated year born 1817 is from his marriage to Sarah Adams (b. 1822), 31 Dec 1845. They had 10 children. I have only some birth dates of his children, but a marriage for daughter Minnie (1853) who married George Lyons of Sidney Twp. Hastings Co. 6 Sep 1874 in Seymour Twp.

{Res: Seymour Twp. Northumberland County, Ontario. Marriage date from Vital Stats Ontario, film #1819491, FHC. Ref. 006-881. Their marriage is also in the Register of Rev. Robert Neill, Burnbrae Presbyterian Church, Seymour Twp. It is listed on page 3 of the Additional Marriages booklet, compiled and transcribed by Ann Rowe and Anna Joan Buxton, 1982. Wits: Christianna Neill (wife of the minister) and Rachel McDougal. Minnie's residence at time of marriage was Rawdon Twp.; George was of Sidney Twp.}

Ebenezer bought Lots 15 S1/2 &16, Con 4, Rawdon Twp., from the Canada Land Company in 1847.

Ebenezir was the son of Stephen McMullen, b abt 1796 in the US, origin Scottish, died after 1861 in Rawdon Twp. Married Annie/Nancy G. Green. No other info has come to light on Stephen.

Rawdon Twp 1861 census does not exist!

This is the only Ebenezer McMullen that I have ever found, and was thrilled to see your entry for, hopefully, himself.

I went and had a hunt for Ebenezer McMullin 1815 ~ 1894 in the Ontario, Canada Census Index, 1871 on Ancestry.com. I found lots of McMullins but no Ebenezer as you can see below.
