Apparently written by one of two Ebenezer Smiths of the Massachusetts Line, who were both captains in 1783 & became members of the SOC. From the clues in the text, it may be Ebenezer Smith (1746-1816), who was a private during the Lexington alarm & promoted to captain in the 2nd Massachusetts Regiment. He was also Mason & there's a poem about Masonic procession in this volume.
