Ezra was the only child of George Hilborn Stuntz and Mrs. Sarah (Ball)Davis, and the last of George's eleven children. George was 49 when Ezra was born.

Ezra and Jane Ann Stitt were married on October 16, 1860, the same year that Abraham Lincoln was elected President. They had two children, Emma Jane Stuntz, born in 1862, and Charles Otho Stuntz, born in 1864.

Ezra, who was 24 in March of 1863, was subject to the Civil War Conscription Act. The legislation, however, allowed for the hiring of a substitute or the payment of $300 to avoid service. Ezra opted to pay the $300 rather than join the army.

Jane died on August 18, 1864, four months after the birth of her son. She was 28 years old. She was buried in Hope Cemetery in Wellsburg, Pennsylvania.

Ezra married Caroline Pierce on September 10, 1865, with whom he had six children:

Sarah Ellen Stuntz, born in 1866
Nina Stuntz, born in 1868
Mary Pierce Stuntz, born in 1870
George Francis Stitt Stuntz, born in 1877
Elizabeth Stuntz, born in 1880
William Oliver Stuntz, born in 1884
Caroline died in 1899.
