Nancy,
The Ezra in the household of Christian Martin is interesting possibility. 
Does it list anyone
else in the household?  Susanna Schrocks parents apparently had land next to
the Martin
meeting house in Ontario.  Also does the 1900 census say he came to the USA
at age 27 or came in 1873 & lived in the US 27 years by this time (1900). 
Many of these Amish/Mennonite
familys moved to St Joseph, Indiana.

Hi Karen,
 
Ezra Burkholder in the 1870 census if it's him at age 7, is in another
household of, Christian & Elizabeth Martin. Reads--Ezra was born abt. 1863
in West Canada  & everyone else in that family including children all born
in PA.
.............................
In the 1900 census living in, Price, Linn Co., OR.  reads Ezra born August
1862 born in Canada & both his parents born in Canada. Ezra came to the USA
in 1873 at age 27. If this is the right Ezra, then he lived in Canada before
1873. BUT yet the 1870 census reads he lived in Penn, St Joseph, Indiana?? .
Must be different Ezras?
 
A lot of different Ezra's, dates & places, huh?
 
Nancy

Darlene,
All we know for sure is that he was raised by Susanna Schrock from Ontario. 
She probably 
was his mother but have never found a birth record.
Thanks so much for looking.
Karen

Karen,
 
Do you have any more information about your Ezra?  I didn't get any hits on
his name in the Canada data that would seem to fit.  There is a marriage
record for 1882 in Ontario, but he's emigrated to the US by then.  So far,
the database seems to be quite limited.  Most of what is posted there is for
the province of Ontario, with a few bits here and there from British
Columbia and occasionally one item from one of the other provinces.  I will
keep looking, just to make sure I haven't overlooked something.
 
(Hoping Ancestry is working to expand the records, or it isn't worth the
money)
 
Darlene

I was wondering if someone with the Canada subscription would look up Ezra
Burkholder for me. 
The 1900 Oregon census lists his birthdate as 8/1/1862 and immigration as
1873.  I have been told there are several Ezras for that time period but
none of them seem to be my ancestor.
Thank you to all who have helped me in this, I really appreciate it.
