  http://www.accessgenealogy.com/scripts/data/database.cgi?file=Data&report=SingleArticle&ArticleID=0013257 Biographies of Croydon, Sullivan County, New Hampshire EZEKIEL POWERS, son of Ezekiel and Hannah Hall Powers, was born in 1771, and was the first male child born in town. At the age of nineteen he married Susan Rice, and subsequently Lydia Lane and Lois Barden, and had twenty-one children-four sons and seventeen daughters; fifteen of the latter grew to womanhood, and were characterized by those qualities which distinguish the Powers family. Like his father he was remarkable for great physical power. At the age of eighty he weighed 265 pounds. He had a great memory, and was a lover of fun. ________________________ Ezekial Powers had many children, 21 in total. There is some uncertainty about some of the children and marriages. 1. Lydia Lane, 2nd wife supposedly died 8 February 1820; however, he supposedly married 3rd wife Lois Bardeen 16 August 1819. I suspect the actual date was 8 February 1819, the day after the daughter Lois was born. 2. Is Lois Powers a daughter of 2nd or 3rd wife? And was she born 7 February 1819 or 1820? I am recording this as she was born in 1819 and her mother died shortly afterwards. As her father married for the third time a few months later, she was named after the third wife. I would not be expected for her to have been born to third wife less that 6 months after she was married. 3. Some sources give one daughter Laura Linda Powers, born and died April 1832 in Croydon. Others show 2 twin daughters Laura and Linda born and died in 1831.
