In 1778 he volunteered for service as a private in the Pennsylvania Militia. He married 1)Anna Betsey Martin (_-1819), 2) Elizabeth Braden; children: Mary. Sometime before 1821, he moved to Warren County, Ohio, and there he married Elizabeth Braden. On 4 October 1832, he made application for his services in the Revolutionary War. The pension was granted on 20 September 1833. Ezekiel died 28 July 1843 and buried at the Lebanon Pioneer Cemetery (Presbyterian Churchyard), 528 W.

Send a biographical sketch of your patriot!
Patriot biographies must be the original work of the author, and work submitted must not belong to another person or group, in observance with copyright law. Patriot biographies are to be written in complete sentences, follow the established rules of grammar, syntax and punctuation, be free of typographical errors, and follow a narrative format. The narrative should unfold in a logical manner (e.g. the narrative does not jump from time period to time period) or have repeated digressions, or tell the history of the patriot's line from the patriot ancestor to the author. The thinking here is that this is a patriot biography, not a lineage report or a kinship determination project or other report published in a genealogy journal. The biography should discuss the qualifying service (military, patriotic, civil) of the patriot ancestor, where the service was rendered, whether this was a specific state or Continental service, as well as significant events (as determined by the author) of the patriot's life. This is the entire purpose of a patriot's biography.
