===========================================================

EZEKIEL MAIN, the first person of that name who came to Stonington, Ct., to reside permanently, is not otherwise identified in this country. He came here in 1670 and in 1672 he received a grant of land from the town. He subsequently purchased other lands, and in 1680 received another town grant of land, all of which extended from the old goldsmith shop of Mr. David Main, nearly to the residence of Mr. Nathaniel M. Crary, in what is now North Stonington, Conn., bounded nearly all the way by Shunnock River on the south, and on the north in part by lands of Mr. Joshua Holmes.

This Mr. Ezekiel Main m. Mary___. It is not known whether he m. before or after he came to this town to reside, probably a short time before, as Mrs. Ezekiel Main was a partaker at the ordination of Mr. James Noyes, the pastor of the first church in Stonington in 1674. Ezekiel Main was admitted to the church Sept. 3, 1676, and he d. June 19, 1714.

HISTORY OF THE TOWN OF STONINGTON, County of New London, Connecticut, from its first settlement in 1649 to 1900, by Richard Anson Wheeler, New London, CT, 1900, p. 448

THE DESCENDANTS OF EZEKIEL MAINE OF STONINGTON CT, by Algernon Aikin Aspinwall. Washington DC 1905. pp. 3, 4.

The first mention of him in the records is the following under date of March 9, 1660/1.

"Ezekiel Mayn for accompanying and countenancing of the said parties in their extravagant course for the accomplishing of their eregrelar purpose", was fined twenty shillings. This referred to what was called the disorderly conduct of Robert Whitcomb and Mary Cudworth in coming together without consent of parents and lawful marriage". As Ezekiel Maine aided these parties in their elopement, it is to be presumed at this time he was a young man and unmarried.

Under date of October 20, 1668, the Plymouth Colony Records give the following: "It was at the same time ordered likewise by the Council of War in reference unto Ezekiel Mayne of Scituate, that whereas there doth appear a willingness in the Military Company of Scituate, that in regard that he hath but one eye, it is difficult and in some respect dangerous for him to be in arms and training as formerly".

Soon after he removed to Stonington, CT for on February 2, 1668/9, when a census of the inhabitants of that town was taken, Ezekiel Maine is enumerated as one of the forty three heads of families. A number of people from Scituate settled at Stonington about this time. His fortunes at this time were presumably at a low ebb, for the Plymouth Colony Records show under date of June 3, 1673, in the settlement of an estate there that among the accounts as "doubtful" is one of Ezekiel Main, to the amount of two pounds, four shillings and five pence. Let us hope that he subsequently liquidated this debt.

In 1672 Ezekiel Maine received a grant of land from the town of Stonington. He subsequently purchased other land, and in 1680, he received another grant from the town. All of this land adjoined, and was located in that part of Stonington which is now North Stonington, and on the North by the land of Joshua Holmes.

Ezekiel Maine was a farmer, and does not appear to have been conspicuous in the affairs of the town, as his name is seldom mentioned in the records. He was admitted to the Church at Stonington, September 3, 1676. In 1690, he was a Deputy to the General Court at Hartford CT. He died at Stonington June 19, 1714.

In his will, dated May 5, 1711, which was admitted to probate July 13, 1714, he gives, "to Mary my dearly beloved wife the one third part of all my moveable estate...To my two daughters hannah Main and ffebe Kingsbury one third of moveables to be equally divided between them.

To my well beloveed sons Ezekiel Main and Jeremiah Main, to be equally divided between them the other one third of all my moveable estate".

The descendants of Ezekiel Maine are not in accord in their spelling of the name, some using and some omitting the final "e". The children given are all that have been disclosed on the records at Stonington, and if there were others, they undoubtedly died young, as evidanced by the Will of Ezekiel Maine.

Ezekiel Main appeared in Scituate, Plymouth Colony, by 1661; was mentioned two or three times in Plymouth Colony Court Records; and in 1669 appeared in the Stonington, Conn. census.

In 1671 he received his first grant of land from the Town; he participated in King Philip's War and received a grant of land in Voluntown for his service (even though he "hath but one eye" and was excused from train band in Scituate); he appeared to be a good, honest, hard-working citizen; he served in the Connecticut General Court at least once; and his was was probated on July 13, 1714.
We know Mrs. Ezekiel Main's name was Mary -- In Dec. 19, 1798, Ezekiel deeded to son Jeremiah his dwelling house and all the lands adjoining unto it, reserving the west end of the house for wife Mary. Mary and Ezekiel both made their marks on the deed. I have found no record of this marriage. In studying the land evidence records of Ezekiel Mayne, I think I have found her identity.

They had the following children:

Ezekiel MAIN Jr. was born 1 Jul 1675 and died 20 Oct 1715.

Hannah MAIN was born 13 Feb 1683.
