Deldon, L272.0.0 June 1st 1780" John Lawrence was the Connecticut State Treasurer 1769-1789 From Ancestry: When Ezekiel Porter Belden was born on 12 February 1756, in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, United States, his father, Thomas Belden, was 23 and his mother, Abigail Porter, was 19. He married Elizabeth Williams on 26 September 1781, in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, United States. They were the parents of at least 4 sons and 2 daughters. He registered for military service in 1776. He died in 1824, in his hometown, at the age of 68, and was buried in Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut, United States. From another source: Ezekiel Porter Belden (1756–1824) of Wethersfield, Conn., graduated from Yale College in 1775 and served as a second lieutenant in Col. Philip Burr Bradley’s Connecticut state regiment from June to December 1776. Appointed a lieutenant in Sheldon’s light dragoon regiment in December 1776, Belden was promoted to captain about this time. He served in that regiment until April 1780 when the death of his only brother caused him to resign his commission in order to assist his father in managing his business (see Belden to GW, 20 April 1780, DLC:GW).
