His daughter Julia was to receive $3, daughter Clarissa $20, and daughter Olive $30. He left his brass kettle to his daughter-in-law Abigail, wife of son Charles. The real estate was to go to his sons, Charles and Roland. The will was proved at the Hampden County Probate Court on 3 June 1834. However, it was found that claims against the estate, amounting to $807, rendered the estate insolvent. The Court appointed Commissioners on 4 December 1834. Ezra's real estate comprised mostly 200 acres of mountain land valued at $800. This was presumably sold to pay the creditors, recorded on 2 June 1835 at a slightly lower figure of $733.17
