I want to remind everyone that Ezekiel who was the father of Edmund (husband of Sarah)
was absolutely NOT the son of Edward nor the
brother of Edward. These two Ezekiels have
solid birth and death dates and Civil records showing their wives names. The brother Ezekiel died in 1732 (married Hannah Tomes) and the son of Edward, born in 1720married Ame Stafford 2 Sept 1743. Neither of
these men were the father of a child born
1735 named Edmund.
This is confusing because the old records
have circulated so long. Edmond, executor of
Mary Coffin's estate, had to be the father
of a son born about 1705-10 who was named Ezekiel who married Mary____ abt 1734 and
who died before July 1745. Their four children all have birthdates registered in
Perquimans Civil records and Mary survived
to appear on the 1768 tax listing. Edmund
(husband of Sarah) had a brother Ezekiel who
married Ruth Chappel and died in Rev War.
If only there hadn't been so many Ezekiels
and Edmunds?
