Ezra Putnam Dallas, son of James Alexander Dallas (Jr.) was born 29 Nov. 1833 in Belmont County Ohio. He died 26 March 1909 in Callao, Macon Co., Missouri. He is buried in the Mt. Zion Cemetery at Callao., Mo.

He married 21 March 1858, Malinda Ellen Shore,(2) daughter of Jeremiah Shore and Lucinda Hart. Malinda was born in Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, 20 June 1840 In Tuscarawas Co., Ohio, and died 18 Dec. 1899 in Callao, Macon Co., Mo.

Ezra Putnam Dallas, father of James Monroe Dallas, and two other children (the other six were born in Missouri), came to Macon County, Missouri from Tuscarawas County Ohio in a covered wagon in 1865, 38 days on the trail.

Ezra, sometimes stayed in his field at night to keep bushwhackers from stealing his horses. He built a big, long, two- story log house and prospered. He always had plenty of various kinds of apples in his cellar and had currents and blackberries too. He also raised sugarcane and made sorghum, which was stored in 50-gallon barrels. "The kids would be given a plate and sent to the cellar to get molasses. A wooden paddle would be lifted from the molasses barrel and allowed to run off onto the plate." The family ate lots of cornbread and molasses. Ezra also made sorghum for neighbors. They could often see 15 or 20 deer at their doorstep in Tuscarawas County Ohio before moving to Missouri.

Ezra liked to be dressed up and wear a tie. He also told jokes and his Grandchildren liked him. In later years he played the part of a country gentleman.
