Birth*	Ezekiel, son of James M. Barnes and Elizabeth Lnu, was born on 21 March 1870 in Georgia. Find A Grave claims 21 Mar 1871 but that doesn't jive with being in the 1870 census at 0.2 yo.1,2
Census1870	Ezekiel appeared on the 1870 Federal Census of Irwinton P.O., Wilkinson Co., Georgia in the household of his parents, James M. Barnes and Elizabeth Lnu, as 2/12 yo son Resa.1
Census1880	Ezekiel appeared on the 1880 Federal Census of 4th Dist., Irwin Co., Georgia in the household of his parents, James M. Barnes and Elizabeth Lnu, as 10 yo son Reasy Barnes.3
Marriage*	He married Eulalah Harder on 25 January 1893 in Irwin Co., Georgia. Issue per Find A Grave were Alma Estelle and Jemimah Barnes. Both have memorials. Find A Grave also claims a 2nd marriage for Reese to Elizabeth Lnu (1858-1922) but the same person shows as Elizabeth's mother and the dates are odd so I'm not entering her.4,2
Death*	Ezekiel died on 20 December 1927 in Atkinson Co., Georgia, at age 57.2
Burial*	He was buried at McCook Cemetery, Ben Hill Co., Georgia. Headstone photo available at Find A Grave.2
