I have located a marriage record between Ezekiel and a woman named Hannah Vest. It was dated 9 April 1854 in Wilkes County, North Carolina.

There is a Military Record filed for Ezekiel it states he was a Private in the North Carolina Infantry, 56th Regiment.  He served in 1862

Ezekiel is listed on the 1830 Census for Wilkes, North Carolina as well,

I have located a death certificate for a Lena Hager daughter of one Ezekiel Eads and Polly Jolley. I am uncertain at this point whether this is the same Ezekiel Eads, however I want to note that this Ezekiel has a daughter named Angeline perhaps Lena is short for Angelina? Now, it has been stated that the parents of John Eads (Ezekiel`s father) are Ezekiel Eads and Mary Polly Barrot. Perhaps this is a daughter of theirs. I am going to go ahead and list it here for now thought:

This Lena is estimated to have been born abt 1864 whereas Ezekiels daughter Angeline was born abt 1847 so there is a difference of 17 years there. Lena Eads married one S.X Hager and according to the record she died 12 Oct 1929 in Davidson, Iredell, North Carolina. She is buried at Fairview Cemetery.

"North Carolina, Deaths, 1906-1930," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/F3Z3-ZJZ : accessed 11 Mar 2013), Ezikil Eades in entry for Lena E Hager, 12 Oct 1929.

The above information is all that I currently have on Ezekiel Eads at this point in time. I will be certain to update this post as soon as I have anything more to add to him.


11 March, 2013 Update:

I now have reason to believe the Lena I listed above is not the same Angeline Eads daughter of this Ezekiel Eads. I am working on some leads I have on her and will update as soon as I have new information.
