    • STORY OF "JESSE EZELL"
      The first Information on this Jesse Ezell who I have found to be my ancestor born 1826,
      Alabama, was first found on a death certificated of my great grandfather William Henry Ezell born March 1855, Pensacola Florida, (death certificated # 2775 ).
      On this certificated shows his father Jesse Ezell born Alabama, and his mother as Miss Wells born Alabama.
      I than tryed to find my grandpa Curtis Tanger Ezell born 1895, so after looking up the Alabama census of 1900, of Escambia vol.2, sheet 22, E. D. 152, line 26, I than found my grandpa Curtis, born Aug. 1895, Florida, with his father William H. Ezell born March 1855, age 45, and mother Roxy, born November 1861, born Florida.
      From this information I further found by looking up the census of Milton, Florida, dated June 13, 1860, I find Jesse Ezell at age 34, also showing Alabama as birth place, ( Jesse's wife shows her as Ann E., age 20, birth place Alabama ).
      Further on this 1860, census shows the children as W. H. Ezell, age 5, born Florida, Henrietta Ezell, age 3, born Florida ( the first letter reminding me as looking as ( E ) and who knows mybe it is ), the next child name John L. Ezell age 7/12, born Florida, findly a child I know nothing about, her full name Sarah J. Banks age 8, born Florida.
      There is no picture's of Jesse Ezell during the Civil War that I'am aware-of at this time, if one had been taken during that period of time, two photographers would arrive at a location, one would mix chemicals and pour them on a clean glass plate.. After the chemicals were given time to evaporate, the glass plate would be sensitized by being immersed--in darkness--in a bath
      solution.
      Placed in a holder, the plate would then be inserted in the camera, which had been positioned and focused by the other photographer. Exposure of the plate and development of the photograph had to be completed within minutes;
      then the exposed plate was rushed to the darkroom wagon for developing.
      Jesse (B.) Ezell and Eliza Wells her name found as Ann, on the 1860
      Census, had Children one called William Henry Ezell born 1855, later
      married Roxanna Cobb, than there was John L. Ezell later married
      Henrietta Jane Diamond, also Mary Ezell born 1863, Annie Eliza. Ezell
      born 1868.
      William Henry Ezell born 1855 had a son Curtis Tanger Ezell born
      1895, later was the one who married Esther B. Steel, who was my
      Grandma.
      Curtis Tanger Ezell had children which was William Eugene Ezell
      Preston Lee Ezell, Doris Ezell, Hazel Ezell.

      Application for the pension of J. B. Ezell #26889. It says Jesse B. was enlisted for over 3 years. and that he served in Company E. At the close of the war he was at Columbus, Georgia in the Confederate hospital, then known as Lee Hospital, after being wounded at Dalton, Georgia.

      So far I have found Variant spellings of the Ezell also to include
      ( Uzzell ), By examining of this name it doesn't matter how you spell
      it or even pronounce it, anybody by that name is bound to be kin,
      even those spelled with an "S".
      Here are some variant spellings Uzzelle, Uzzle, Uzzel, Oisel,
      Ezzell, Ezzelle, Ezel, Essell, Easwell, Ezzall, Ezall, Issul,
      Izard, Oisel, Usel, Usselle, Sills and perhaps Youell, or Gills.
      Lets take the name ( Uzzell ) ever one from this line of family
      may have distinctive appearance perhaps heavy eyelids and rusty
      eyebrows, blue eyes and a touch of red in the hair.
      Lets now take the name ( Ezell ) they may be tall in size with
      large hands and having black hair. Lets not forget when time
      goo's on other family line's can add other appearances.
      Take again Uzzell they were originally French Huguenots. During
      the persecution they dispersed to Holland and England, where they
      remained for many years...The ruins of an old Castle Uzzel in the
      Valley of Aosta proclain one branch of the family prominent in the
      13th Century. The earliest note of the name is found at Angers,
      France. Civic Archives show an abstract that Jean Ozzelle owned
      a measure of land in 1254 A. D. Family preachers point out many
      Biblical references, notably Uzziel in 1.Chron., Ezek. and Exodus,
      always quick to say they were Levites. The oldest of four different
      known Uzzell coat-of-arms shows three coins. They are believed to
      be a Crusading emblem. Crusader means ( The crusaders of the
      Middle Ages fought to win the Holy Land from the Moslems., Crusade
      means any one of the Christian military expedition between the year
      1096 and 1272 ). When the Crusaders journeyed to Palestine, they
      were forced to cross from Europe to Asia at the Straits of the
      Dardanelles. These straits were guarded by people who claimed to
      be Christians. Supposedly they could aid the crossing Crusading
      warriors. They not only charged the Crusaders for ferrying them
      but imposed a crossing tax. The Uzzells Adopted the coin emblem,
      Byzantium, upon their sheilds to "commemorate forever the infamy
      and avarice", the word meaning greedy desire for money or property.
      One name to remember is Thomas Uzzell who fled with his parents
      from either through Holland or the Friesian Islands to England.
      Then they migrated to Northern Island where son Thomas is said to
      have married an Irish girl named Sarah Artimore. There's no proof,
      only family stories. The name Uzzell, is derived from the old
      France term "Oisel" meaning 'bird. It is a shortened version of
      the Ozelleure or Ousellere meaning 'seller of game or poultry.
