Or, Subtitled: “Here is my account of how and why all those folks went to Livingston Co. Ky.”

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.

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.
