Below is a picture of my great
grandfather, Edward Ezell, and 10 of his 11 children. My great
grandfather came to Freestone County in 1854 and settled in the Luna
community. He joined the Confederate army in Fairfield in 1862 and
returned home late in 1863. He is buried at the Antioch cemetery
in Luna on the land he donated as a cemetery site. Edward Ezell's
sons and daughters in the picture are as listed below.
