Hi,Just looking at this pronunciation. Here in Pa we say the long, E. but that is the way my mother Pa born said it. My dad born in Duplin Co N.C used the short E. All the ones from N.C use the short E and they say I am saying it wrong. BUT, they also spell it Ezzell.The onces who left that state probably after 1850 dropped that second Z, but it was spelled so many different ways before that anyhow who knows.Thelma
