Or Subtitled: When a Name in Estate Documents Hides Thickets of Kinship Connections

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]

Ezekiel Purchases Island Property Outside Smithland

Now, returning to the chronological narrative of Ezekiel C. Green’s documents following his marriage on 2 September 1835: on 28 March 1836, Ezekiel Calhoun Green bought from William Croghan of Pittsburgh for $1,500 all of Croghan’s holdings on an island in the Ohio River immediately below the junction of the Ohio and Cumberland Rivers, 200 acres that Croghan had obtained through a treasury warrant 27 June 1786.[1] The land was surveyed 18 March 1798 and patented 16 July 1805. Croghan acknowledged the deed in Pittsburgh court on 28 March 1836, and it was recorded in Livingston County on 7 May.
