Hezekiah (2), son of Hezekiah (1), was born March 4, 1751, and died of fever at Canton, St. Lawrence county, New York, in 1813. His brother David E. was also a victim to the epidemic there at that time. Hezekiah lived in Mansfield, and was a farmer and dealer in stock. According to one authority he went to Dorset, Vermont, while still another says that he died in Mansfield. He was a trooper in the revolution. The Connecticut Rolls show (p. 479) that he was in Captain Isaac Sergeants's company, Major Backus's regiment of light horse, September-November, 1776. This regiment served in New York, and was thanked by Washington "for cheerfulness and alacrity they have shown upon all occasions." He was also (p. 528) in the militia under General Gates in the northern army in 1777, and in Captain Roswell Grant's company in 1778. Doubtless his full record is not given in the public records, which are incomplete. His descendants are eligible to the Sons of the American Revolution. He married Rachel, daughter of Isaac Hall, April 14, 1774; she was born June 1, 1751. Children: Isaac, mentioned below; John, born May 16, 1776; Jesse, May 9, 1779; Asa, April 27, 1781; Amasa, July 27, 1782; Abigail, June 11, 1784; Daniel, July 26, 1786; Zerviah, April 3, 1789; Anna, August 21, 1792
