Origin

Per Robert C. Anderson, "John Northend and Elizabeth Coole married 13 April 1605 at Rowley [East Riding, Yorkshire, England]. Children of Mr [John] Northend of Rippingham [Rowley, East Riding, Yorkshire, England] baptized there: Margaret (30 March 1620), Ezekiel (10 February 1621/2)^[1], and Joan (6 June 1624). ... Ezekiel's baptism is compatible with this depositions in Massachusetts as to his age [EQC 2:397, 3:30, 426, 5:17]. He had emigrated by 1648 when he married Edna [blank] in Rowley [RowVR 1:356], widow of Richard Bayley (brother of James Bayley), apparently born Edna Halstead, as her son Joseph refers to money from his "unckle" William Halsted [EPR 1:93-94]. ^[2]

It is believed that Ezekiel was named in honour of Ezekiel Rogers, an incumbent clergyman at Rowley Parish at the time of his birth. ^[3]
