Proof to parents: Ezekiel's baptism record is not found with his siblings in the English records. His status as their sibling lies in his will and the wills of his siblings and real estate transactions with them.
Immigration: In 1630, with Winthrop's Fleet. Wife Susanna and probably oldest child, Phebe, came in that fleet. Phebe was among the earliest baptisms in New England, recorded in Boston, June 03, 1632.
Residences: Charlestown 1630 > Woburn 1640
Spouse: Susanna, likely married in England just a few years before their migration. Surname of Bradford, used by many people, not proven. She survived Ezekiel and married, second, Henry Brooks on March 21, 1651, age estimated 41. She died September 15, 1681, in Woburn, aged estimated 71 years.
Freeman: Was admitted to freeman status May 18, 1631.

Immigrant Links:
Joseph Richardson, son of immigrant Samuel, married Hannah Green, daughter of Thomas Green of Malden. A marriage is listed for Joseph Richardson and Hannah Green in Woburn records, with a date of November 05, 1666. Although I haven't verified the identity of that Hannah Green, other authorities have, from Vinton and others, including the author of the genealogy of Thomas Green of Malden.
I have, however, verified to a certainty, that the Hannah Green, daughter of William Green of Woburn, married Thomas Knowlton. This comes from the probate papers for William Green, where Thomas Knowlton signed for his wife's money due from the estate of William Green. For more details on that side of the issue, see my Green and Knowlton research notes.
