Oldest son of Joseph Calhoun Mathews and Margaret Brough. Ezekiel and his family do not appear on the 1850 Abbeville, SC census and is known to be gone from Abbeville when his father's will was probated in 1853. His children show up in Arkansas in late 1850's and during the Civil War are fighting with units in and around Ark. It is believed that sons Benjamin and John sold land in Batesville and moved to Little Rock in the 1880/90. Also sister Lucetia (m. James Shanks) died in Little Rock. Children were Mollie, Lawrence Calhoun "Coot", Ezekiel Jr., Benjamin, William, Andrew, Charner, John, Lucy and Lucretia. Mollie, Benjamin, William, John and Lucretia (Shanks) are known to have died in Ark. Andrew was a casualty of the Civil War, dying at the Battle of Belmont (MO) in 1861. Charner is said to have died in MS. Any information on this family would be appreciated.
