Ezekiel was the son of Col. Ezekiel Field and the "Shawnee Woman". His birth was registered in Culpepper, VA however it's unlikely that he was actually born there. His father had been captured by the Shawnee in 1772 and he didn't return to Culpepper until some time in 1774. His mother's name is unknown but she had "adopted" him into the Shawnee tribe by marriage. She then disappeared and his father married a cousin and had another son in 1782 with the same name. It's unclear who Ezekiel's wife was as the Field family was a very large family with many duplicate names. Sometimes parents gave two or more children the same names. Ezekiel lived in Shelby County, Kentucky and had numerous children. He died around 1845. His daughter Elizabeth married John Waterloo Salmon. Elizabetj amd John lived in an area of Shelby County known as the Beeches. They moved to Daviess County around 1850 and lived in the Murray District until their deaths.
