Descendants
Of the nine children born to the family patriarch (William B. Ebbert), only one son (William Dickinson Ebbert) and two daughters (Edith Paxton Ebbert and Blanche Gould Ebbert) survived. William went on to own a feed store in Rocky Ford, Colorado before relocating to Twin Falls, Idaho. Blanche lived in Lewiston, Idaho and retired in Inglewood, California and Edith settled in Pueblo, Colorado. Blanche Gould Ebbert was a renowned composer, pianist, and musician in Brooklyn; she was a graduate of the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music and the National Conservatory of Music in Manhattan.
Brooklyn is the most populous borough of New York City, with an estimated 2,648,771 residents in 2017. Named after the Dutch village of Breukelen, it borders the borough of Queens at the western end of Long Island. Brooklyn has several bridge and tunnel connections to the borough of Manhattan across the East River, and the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge connects Staten Island. Since 1896, Brooklyn has been coterminous with Kings County, the most populous county in the U.S. state of New York and the second-most densely populated county in the United States, after New York County.
The National Conservatory of Music of America was an institution for higher education in music founded in 1885 in New York City by Jeannette Meyers Thurber. The conservatory was officially declared defunct by the state of New York in 1952, although for all practical pedagogical purposes, it had ceased to function much earlier than that; however, between its founding and about 1920 the conservatory played an important part in the education and training of musicians in the United States. A number of prominent names are associated with the institution, including that of Victor Herbert and Antonín Dvořák, director of the conservatory from Sep. 27, 1892 to 1895.
Manhattan, often referred to locally as the City, is the most densely populated of the five boroughs of New York City and its economic and administrative center, cultural identifier, and historical birthplace. The borough is coextensive with New York County, one of the original counties of the U.S. state of New York. The borough consists mostly of Manhattan Island, bounded by the Hudson, East, and Harlem rivers; several small adjacent islands; and Marble Hill, a small neighborhood now on the U.S. mainland, physically connected to the Bronx and separated from the rest of Manhattan by the Harlem River. Manhattan Island is divided into three informally bounded components, each aligned with the borough's long axis: Lower, Midtown, and Upper Manhattan.
Since William Dickinson Ebbert's birth in 1876, each generation of Ebberts has produced one son to carry on the name: William Bevers Ebbert (1914–1997), Scott William Ebbert (1943–2001), and Brian Scott Ebbert (1969- ).
