EZRA H HARDISON was born in Winslow, Maine [Descriptive Rolls] about 1831 [age 19 in 1850, age 30 in 1860, 31 at enlistment], perhaps related to the Nathaniel Hardison family, next to whom he lived in 1850 South Berwick. His death date is unknown, but was seen last in an 1865 Dover, NH street directory. His burial place is also unknown.
He married, about 31 Mar 1860 in Biddeford, to MARY E (RICKER) CLARK, the daughter of Issac and Ruth (Stackpole) Ricker [Ricker Gen, p373-4] . She had first married in Dover, 25 Nov 1847, to Levi D Clark. She is likely the Mary E living at a boarding house in 1867 Dover, NH, and perhaps the Elizabeth Hardison, age 42, living in the city during 1870 census. It is not yet known when she died, nor her burial location.
In 1850 South Berwick, Ezra was an apprentice, living in household of Abraham Gilpatrick, a neighbor to Nathaniel Hardison (perhaps the father of Ezra). He was a laborer in 1860, living in Biddeford, Maine. Following the war, he moved to Dover, NH, and was working as a watchman for C M Co. in 1865. He is not seen in later street directories, and wife Mary E is only seen in the following directory published in 1867.
There is no record of him or his widow filing for a pension.
