Ezekiel Davison was one of the pioneers of Union Township entering two 40 acre parcels in Section 20 on May 5, 1837. He was one of the voters in the 1852 Presidential election, the first held in the newly created Union Township.

Hendricks County marriage records show an Ezekiel Davison marrying an Ann Woodruff on May 20, 1864. This would have been after the death of his first wife in 1848 and before his death in 1865.
