      Ezekiel Lathrop III was born around 1803 in Bridgewater, the son of Ezekiel Lathrop II and Lydia Crocker, both of Norwich, New London Co., Connecticut. His father was one of the original settlers of Bridgewater township around the year 1800. Bridgewater township was then in Luzerne County, but later split up and became part of the newly formed Susquehanna County.

      Ezekiel married Lorinda Lathrop of Rush, the daughter of Dea. William and Sarah (Brown) Lathrop. The marriage took place on February 26, 1829 in New Milford, Pennsylvania. Ezekiel's older sister Sybil also married Lorinda's older brother, Rev. William Lathrop Jr.

      Lorinda was a "4th cousin once removed" to Ezekiel Lathrop III and shared the common ancestor the Hon. Samuel Lathrop (son of Rev. John Lothroppe of early fame).

      The lineage of each:

      Ezekiel Lathrop III Ezekiel II Ezekiel Sr. Israel Jr. Israel Sr. Hon. Samuel Lathrop

      Lorinda Lathrop Dea. William Ezra Jr. Lt. Ezra Sr. Samuel III Samuel II Hon. Samuel Lathrop

      Ezekiel and Lorinda Lathrop had at least 6 children:

      1) Leury (Laurie or Lorinda?) Lathrop b. abt 1836 (no further record)
      2) unknown female b. between 1836-1839 assumed to have died young
      3) Ira Lathrop b. abt 1839 (no further record)
      4) Ambrose ("Ambers") Lathrop b. 1841 m. Mary A. Cobb (had children: Alice, Ella A., Lottie M., ..). Ambrose was a lawyer.
      5) Luther Lathrop b. 1843 m. Frances (last name unknown) had son named Lloyd
      6) Harriet H. Lathrop b. Sep. 9, 1846 d. Sep. 23, 1864 (did not marry)

      The 1830 census of Rush, Susq. Co., PA indicates that Ezekiel and Lorinda had no children and were living with one adult between 60-70 yrs of age. The 1840 census of Rush, Susq. Co., PA indicates there was a boy under 5, a girl under 5, and a girl under 10. The boy under 5 would have been Ira and the girl between 5-10 would have been Leury. Therefore, there must have been another girl who wasn't Leury who probably died young.

      The 1850 census shows the 5 named children above. The 1860 census shows Ira, Ambrose, Luther, and Harriet now living in the town of neighboring Vestal, New York. The 1870 Census shows only Luther (21 yrs old) still living at home. The 1875 census shows Luther (28 yrs old) still living at home with parents. Ezekiel (73 yrs old) is listed as "Blacksmith". "Miranda wife" (sic, "Lorinda") is 69 yrs old. Son Ambrose with wife Mary, and daughters Alice and Ellen living next door.

      Ezekiel and Lorinda Lathrop are interred in the Vestal Center Cemetery with a shared headstone that is deteriorated to the point that it's very difficult to read.
