Ezekiel Horton was born in Pennsylvania on June 23, 1819, the son of Abner Horton, a native of England, and Susan (Evans) Horton. Ezekiel married Nancy (Anderson) Bair in Pennsylvania in about 1840. Nancy was born April 8, 1809 in Pennsylvania and had a young son, Samuel Bair, from her first marriage. Sons Jonathan and James were born to Ezekiel and Nancy.
In 1866, Ezekiel moved with his wife and children from Pennsylvania to Fulton County, Illinois. They resided there until the fall of 1879, when they came to Fillmore County, Nebraska and took up a homestead of 80 acres.
An attack of paralysis struck Nancy about five months before her death, which occurred June 6, 1886. Ezekiel died March 12, 1891 at the home of his stepson, Samuel Bair.
