Ezekiel was born on 5 July 1805 to John Counts and Margaret Kelly.

He married Elizabeth Amburgey around 1825 in Russell Co, VA.

Throughout the 1840s and early 1850s, he served as the commissioner of revenue and as the school commissioner.

After the death of his wife Elizabeth, he married Abigail Dyer 18 August 1853.

During the Civil War, Ezekiel was sympathetic to the Union, but he still served the Confederate States under his nephew Captain E.K. Counts in Co E of the 21st Va Cavalry.

He died on 24 July 1871, possibly from complications from a bad freeze he suffered during the war.

He is said to be buried in the Old Counts Cemetery on his farm in an unmarked grave between Elizabeth Amburgey & Abigail Dyer.
