While still living in Sudbury, Ezra served in the Revolution for one month and twenty-eight days, as a private in Capt. Asahel Wheeler’s company, Col. John Robinson regiment, marching on 4 Feb.; the year not given in the record, but probably was 1776; he had not completed his sixteenth year. [MA Soldiers & Sailors of the Rev.War, v11,947]
He continued his trade as a Blacksmith while in the Army and upon leaving the Army he and Peter Mackintosh carried on a blacksmith’s shop in Boston, [on South St.*] for several years, but on 13 Feb 1797 the firm of Mackintosh & Parmenter was dissolved, and Ezra carried on the business, [relocating to Elliot St.*], by himself for the rest of his life. He had many prominent patrons, and not long before his death did the iron work for the enlargement of Faneuil Hall. He was an original member of the MA Charitable Mechanics’ Association, and a friend of Paul Revere, one of its officers. [NEHGS Reg. V91, 1937, 214] [*Boston City Directory, 1789]
