EZEKIEL WITTY may be classed among the most active enterprising business 
men of Metcalfe County. He was born in Allen County, Ky., November 2, 
1829. When one year old he was brought by his parents to Metcalfe County 
(then Barren), where he now resides. His father, Milton Witty, was born 
in North Carolina in November, 1803, and removed in his fourteenth year 
to Barren County, Ky. He was the son of Ezekiel Witty, who was also born 
in North Carolina in about 1770, and was of Irish descent.  Milton Witty 
was twice married; first, about 1824, to Agnes, daughter of Edmond and 
Mary (Hill) Payne. To them have been born Elizabeth (Turner), James W., 
Ezekiel, Joseph R. and Milton. His second marriage took place about 
1848, to Lucy, daughter of John Tudor. Ezekiel Witty was married, 
February 27, 1857, to Martha E., daughter of John J. and Susan (Nuckols) 
Pace. Mr. Witty, by his own industry, economy and frugality, has become 
the owner of all the land on which is now situated the village of Summer 
Shade. He has disposed of all but about twenty-five acres.  He has a 
comfortable home, and is senior partner in a goods store containing a 
good stock of dry goods, boots, shoes, hats, caps, groceries, drugs, 
medicines and farming implements, aggregating usually about $5,000 in 
value.  He is a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and in 
politics is a Democrat.
