I checked my copy of "The History of Annapolis" and actually Calnek says that Ebenezer's son Benjamin took up a grant of land. He does say that Ebenezer came to Nova Scotia with Benjamin but that may just have been to obtain an extra land grant which he then could have given to his son. The 1794 list of grantees mentions only Benjamin--later a list from 1807 of settlers who had fulfilled certain conditions to receive more land included an Ebenzer Fales, but since Benjamin's son Ebenzer married in 1803 it was probably him not his grandfather.There is really no reason to reject the idea that Ebenezer Sr went back to the US.Lots of them did, especially the older generation.
