• Notes

  (Research):There are 2 Hezekiah's in Shelby County. Both Hezekiah's were born about the same time however, they have different children. Looking at the wife won't work. The wife's first name is the same. However, the children's names are different and the death dates are different also. In 1870 and 1880 there is a Corey/Cora living with Cary as he went by. In 1870 it states that she was born in Indiana, and in 1880 it states her parents were born in New York. She was born either in 1868 or 1869. I do not believe that this child is theirs, however it is possible. There is also a 13 year gap between Laura and her, and again this is possible, but doubtful.
