in the latter part of the nineteen century, both ultimately settling around the
Blackfoot Village, Texas area in Anderson County. Ezekiel was twice
married and fathered three children with his first wife Mary Lynn Hill
(1853-1885), below center, and seven more with his second wife Mary Elizabeth
Weir (abt. 1860-1910). Ezekiel's third child by his first marriage, Mary
Lula Childress (1885-1970), and her husband Sylvester Vestle Hogue
