First settlement unknown; moved to Taunton in 1639. Died after 27 February 1692/3.
Married by 1654 Rebecca _____. She was living on 2 March 1684/5.
Hezekiah Hoar was first cousin of ROGER CLAP {1630, Dorchester}, the mothers of the two men being sisters. Perhaps Hezekiah resided at Dorchester prior to his emergence at Taunton.
Savage states that this immigrant was "brother of John," meaning John Hoar of Scituate. John Hoar and his siblings and mother were from Gloucester, Gloucestershire. There is no known relationship between these two families.
Given the lapse of forty-six years between the birth of this immigrant and the date of birth of his first child, one might wonder whether an additional generation should be inserted in this lineage. Hezekiah Hoar appeared rarely in Taunton from 1639 to 1653. On the earliest of these dates, the immigrant would have been about thirty-one years old, and so it must be he rather than a putative son of the same name who took the oath of fidelity. In the remaining records down to 1654, the designations of Senior and Junior are not used, and there is no other indication that one generation was succeeded by another. For whatever reason, the immigrant did not marry until he was about forty-five.
