As I begin this posting, I have to be candid and say that working on the last three children of Ezekiel Calhoun and Jean or Jane Ewing has proven very difficult, and I’m by no means sure that I have a reasonably full snapshot of their lives. The information I can find about them is sparse, and much that is stated about them in articles and trees published conventionally and online is totally undocumented and often, in my view, woefully incorrect.

The final set of documents I have for Ezekiel Calhoun Green are his estate records. His tombstone in Smithland cemetery at Smithland in Livingston County, Kentucky, tells us that Ezekiel died on 6 April 1851. On 7 July 1851, James K. Huey appealed to Livingston County court for administration of the estate of Ezekiel C. Green, and was granted administration, giving bond for $5,000 with W.P. Fowler and Thomas M. Davis.[1] At the same court session, the court appointed D.B. Sanders, Joseph Watts, William Gordon, Samuel A. Kingsman, and Blount Hodge, or any three of them, to appraise the personal estate.[2]
