Notes
Biography
the marriage of Ezekiel of Methuen is to Keziah Lothrop of Bridgewater in 1808 – am going to try that for Ezekiel – Keziah seems to be born in 1767 so maybe so – but she is not the 1767 one – she is supposed to be the daughter of Simeon – Lathrop genealogy – Ezekiel is age 60-69 I think in the 1830 census but with 10 people in the house – there is a death record for a son born in 1822 that gives names of both parents on the death record – born in 1822??(see Willson), Ezekiel [int. Willson of Methuen, Essex Co.] and Keziah [dup. Kezia] Lothrop, Feb. 2 [dup. Feb. 7], 1808.
Will of Ezekiel leaves everything to Kezia so maybe so – it is him and his marriage – the son has an obituary that gives his father’s birth year as 1770 – close enough – they have 8 children according to the son’s obituary – the obituary continues in the second column but does not include the names of his siblings
