I think it sounds very "iffy" that he was married at age 15 and died at age 15, with 2 children. His wife would have been 36 when they were married.

I've found other family trees that say he passed at age 15, but there are also other family trees that have no death date. Can someone figure this out? He's not my ancestor, just someone I ran across while looking at the tree.

I have also done some research on this person and have found information indicating that he was indeed NOT 15 at death. He was married in 1755 to Joanna and had Joanna in 1757 and Ebenezer in 1760. He was chosen Deacon of East Church in 1765. His wife Joanna died in 1790 in her 70th year.

Thanks for the response, Philip! <3
Perhaps we should remove his death date.

I did. LOL I hate having errors sit in place when I can do it myself. OCD (I don't really have it).
