- Ezekiel (5. IV.) son of Elder William Wentworth, must of been among the eldest of the famly.* If he was but twenty-one years of age in 1672, when his name appears on the tax list in the defective records of Dover, N. H., he must have been born as early as 1651.

- The first mention of his wife, whose name was Elizabeth, was in 1676, and we thus learn that she survived him. Besides this, we have only the will of Ezekiel Knight, and a quitclaim of 1715, regarding her.
