Biography

Ezra was born in 1771.

"Rev. Ezra Amadon was born in Mass., about 1760 and removed to Bennington county, Vt., about 1800. There he was one of the moving spirits and original founders of the Reformed Methodist denomination in America, establishing a church of that faith at Readsboro in 1814. He came to Leon in February, 1822, and was the first to start the movement for the organization of a Reformed Methodist church in the town, forming a body of that belief in the spring of 1823. He moved to Waupun, Wis., in 1853, where he died about 1860; his family all removed to Wisconsin except Ezra, his son, who died here in 1884, leaving a son, George, now living in Leon."
