## Life

[edit]

He was the son of Ebenezer Ibbetson, of the parish of St Martin, Ludgate in the City of London, a silk merchant who imported mantuas from the Netherlands.[3][4][5] He matriculated at Exeter College, Oxford in 1734, at age 16. He was a Fellow of the college from 1737 to 1749, graduating B.A. in 1740 and M.A. in 1741. He received the divinity degrees of B.D. in 1748 and D.D. in 1752.[3][6]

Ibbetson was the incumbent at Merton, Oxfordshire in 1747.[3] He was then presented to Bushey, Hertfordshire in 1748, by his father, who had a limited patronage under the will of Grace Smith.[7]
