    JOHN T. EZZELL, lawyer of Bel Green, Franklin county, Ala., was born in
Calhoun county, Ala., March 21, 1846, the eldest in a family of nine children
born to Robert and Nancy A. (Hunnicutt) Ezzell, of Georgia and South
Carolina--the former a son of William and Margaret (Ward) Ezzell, of French
descent, and the latter a daughter of John and Rebecca (Thompson) Hunnicutt, of
Irish extraction, all of South Carolina. John T. Ezzell was well educated in his
native country, and was variously employed until thirty-four years of age, when
he entered the law school at Lebanon, Tenn., from which he graduated in 1882 and
settled in Bel Green for practice. He has been very successful at the bar,
reaping an ample reward for his labors. For a number of years he was also in the
real estate business, and is still owner of 1,100 acres of good land on Cedar
Creek, in Franklin county, besides holding an interest in wild lands to the
extent of 1,000 acres. Of his local property he has 200 acres under cultivation.
His fortune is of his own making, as he began his business life at the age of
twenty-one with no capital, but he inherited the energy and skill of his father,
who farmed in Franklin county from the time of his coming, in 1858, until his
death, March 16, 1889. The marriage of John T. Ezzell took place December 30,
1875, to Miss Laura O. Moody, of Alabama, who has borne him seven children, as
follows: Othello C., Annie, Mary B., Gertrude, James N., Robert T. and Florence.
Mr. Ezzell's religious convictions are those promulgated by the Christian
church, and fraternally he is a Mason. He is one of the leading and substantial
citizens of Franklin county, and stands deservedly high in the esteem of its
inhabitants.
