Name Ezra Clapp Birth 22 May 1640 Dorchester, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, USA Gender Male Death 23 Jan 1717/1718 Milton, Norfolk Co., Massachusetts, USA Notes - Ezra was made "freeman" in Dorchester, Ma, in 1666 and lived there for
a few years after the death of his father in 1665. His father left him
land which was situated in Milton, MA, which had been incorporated as
a separate town 7 May 1662. Milton previously constituted a part of
Dorchester, which embraced within its limits the present towns of
Stoughton, Canton, Sharon, and parts of Wrentham and Foxborough. Ezra
and his family moved to his inherited land in Milton perhaps as early
as 1667 and joined the church which was established there in 1678.
About 1712, he built a mill on Neponset River at the request of some
of his neighbors. This project was beneficial to the town and he was
granted as much water from the River as was needed for his mill.
Ezra and his first wife Abigail (Pond) Clapp had seven children, all
born in Milton, MA:
