  1. 6.  Ezekiel JOHNSON, Jr. was born 1760 (son of Ezekiel JOHNSON and Elizabeth GREENE); died 15 Aug 1849, Coventry, RI; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    This may be the Ezekiel, Jr. who married Ruth Matteson, of Joseph, on 20 Feb 1783 by Isaac Johnson, Justice. I have assumed that these dates from the RI Cemetery Database belong to this Ezekiel. The membership list of Maple Root Baptist Church has the names Ezekiel Johnson, Mercy Johnson, and Philip Johnson for 6 Aug 1814. This may be our Ezekiel, his son Philip, and his daughter, or possibly second wife.

    Ezekiel married Ruth MATTESON 20 Feb 1783, Coventry, RI. Ruth (daughter of Joseph MATTESON and Ruth JONES) was born Abt 1765; died Between 1800 and 1810. [Group Sheet]


  2. 7.  Ruth MATTESON was born Abt 1765 (daughter of Joseph MATTESON and Ruth JONES); died Between 1800 and 1810.

    Notes:

    The marriage record at Coventry identifies Ruth as daughter of Joseph.

    Notes:

    Ezekiel Johnson, Jr., and Ruth Matteson, of Joseph, were married at Coventry by Isaac Johnson, Justice.

Generation: 4

  1. 12.  Ezekiel JOHNSON was born Abt 1731 (son of Elisha JOHNSON and Mary GREENE); died 9 Oct 1791; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Coventry, RI.

    Notes:

    I have assumed that these dates from the RI Cemetery Database belong to this Ezekiel, because they are in the right time frame and the grave is in the right area.

    Some genealogies show that Ezekiel married Elizabeth's sister, Abigail. It is a confusing puzzle that needs more research.

    The will of Ezekiel Johnson, of Coventry, was dated 18 Apr 1789 and proved 7 Nov 1791. In it he mentions his wife Elizabeth, four sons, and four daughters, the last of which - at least - is under 18.

    I have wondered if he had another son named Philip who died in 1785. There was a Philip Johnson who is noted in the Maple Root records as having died 13 July 1785. This might explain why Ezekiel Jr. had a son named Philip. Based on his age at death and place of burial (information from Linda Mathew), I am including him in this family group.

    From Linda Mathew: "Ezekiel . . . when he made his [will] in 1789 left all of his real estate, undivided, to his sons Ezekiel, Edmund, and Daniel. Ezekiel, Sr., died in 1791 and the following year the brothers divided the land. Daniel received 50 acres in West Greenwich. Ezekiel and Edmund got the Coventry portions of their father's land, but Edmund sold his to Ezekiel a few years later when he moved to upstate New York."

    Ezekiel married Elizabeth GREENE Abt 1754. Elizabeth (daughter of Uzal GREENE and Susannah HILL) was born 28 Jan 1735/36. [Group Sheet]


  2. 13.  Elizabeth GREENE was born 28 Jan 1735/36 (daughter of Uzal GREENE and Susannah HILL).

    Notes:

    The name and birthdate of Elizabeth came from the database of Vicki Michael at Rootsweb's Worldconnect.

    Children:
    1. Mary Marcy Johnson was born Abt 1754, RI; died 26 Jun 1834, West Greenwich, Kent Co., RI; was buried , Levi Whitford Lot, Weaver Hill Rd., West Greenwich, RI.
    2. Levi Johnson was born 1756.
    3. Susannah Johnson was born 1758.
    4. 6. Ezekiel JOHNSON, Jr. was born 1760; died 15 Aug 1849, Coventry, RI; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Coventry, RI.
    5. Philip Johnson was born Between 1761 and 1762; died 13 Jul 1785; was buried , Maple Root Cemetery, Harkney Hill Rd., Coventry, RI.
    6. Dinah Johnson was born 1764.
    7. Edmond Johnson was born 1767.
    8. Daniel JOHNSON was born Abt 1770; died Abt 1834.
    9. Huldah Johnson was born Abt 1776.

  3. 14.  Joseph MATTESON was born Abt 1740 (son of Thomas MATTESON).

    Notes:

    Joseph was "of Thomas, of East Greenwich."

    Joseph married Ruth JONES 6 Dec 1762, East Greenwich, RI. Ruth (daughter of Seth JONES and Deliverance BRIGGS) was born Abt 1740. [Group Sheet]


  4. 15.  Ruth JONES was born Abt 1740 (daughter of Seth JONES and Deliverance BRIGGS).

    Notes:

    I am making an assumption that this Ruth Jones belongs with this particular Joseph Matteson, father of Ruth Matteson.

    The marriage record identifies Ruth Jones as "of Exeter, daughter of Seth, dec'd."

    Notes:

    Joseph & Ruth were married by Thomas Corey, Justice.

    Children:
    1. Mercy Matteson was born 8 Jul 1763, East Greenwich, RI.
    2. 7. Ruth MATTESON was born Abt 1765; died Between 1800 and 1810.
