Ezekiel Hobbs

b. by 1770. Perhaps, although this is very late, he is the Ezekiel who m. 4 Aug. 1830, Nelson Co., Ky., Nancy Read. Some of his children may have lived in Bullitt Co., Ky. He first appears on Nelson Co., Ky., tax lists in 1787 and may thus belong at a somewhat earlier point in the order of birth of Joshua's children. The 1810 census of Bullitt Co., Ky., shows him with one child in his household, indicating that he was probably married before his marriage to Nancy Read. In 1820 there is a mature woman in his household but no children. It is quite possible that any children by a first marriage would have been adults living somewhere in their own households by this time. His brother Vachel was also living in Bullitt Co. in 1820, but was back in Nelson Co. in 1830. In 1830 there was in Bullitt Co. a Joshua Hobbs (son of Vachel?), age 20-30, with a woman in his household age 15-20 and another man 20-30.
