  	This site, toward the easterly end of Beaver Dam Road, on the south side, (modern address 352 Beaver Dam Road) has Brookhaven/South Haven Historic Site ID Br 17. Also listed were his father Elisha King and Agnes King, his second wife. In 1904 it became the property of Hugh H. Harrison in a mortgage foreclosure. If Ezra B. King lived at this residence, which is suggested by one source, it would have been before 1900, as he was residing in Southampton, NY by the 1900 census.

  Notes	An Ezra B. King was found in the 1900 Federal census in Southampton, NY. I am reasonable certain that this Ezra was the husband of Emma L. Swezey King, whose gravestone is in the Bellport Woodland cemetery, no other candidate Ezra B. King's have been found of the appropriate age and family circumstances.

(From Bellport-Brookhaven Historical Society Christmas Tour of Old Houses, Dec 14, 1959) These dates can not be correct, as Ezra would have been but a youth during this decade.
