Or, Subtitled: “The motion came with ill grace from the one presumed to be the father”

In a number of previous postings, I’ve sketched some parts of the life of Ezekiel Samuel Green (1824/5 – after 1900), father of Mary Ann Green Lindsey (1861-1942) and son of Samuel Kerr Green (1790-1860) and Eliza Jane Smith (1790/1800 – 1843). In this posting, I’ll begin creating a more systematic account of Ezekiel’s life than I’ve previously provided, and will point to previous discussions of portions of his life that I’ve already discussed in detail.
