    • Cemetery: 1871, Miller Cemetery, Shelbyville, Shelby, Indiana, United States

    Notes:

    The 1860 & 1870 Census has Hezekiah being born in 1875

    According to the website https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gen2/family/index.htm created by Jean Hehn, Hezekiah is the son of Peter Smith. According to the website, there are bible records to prove this but, no proof of the bible record as it is not posted. I have already found discrepencies in her work as Hezekiah Carey, the son of this Hezekiah, did not die until 1904 and she has him passing in 1897. But, along with the discrepencies are some facts. So, if you use this site, please do your own research to prove what you can to make sure you have it right and documented.

    SMITH--On Feb. 2, 1871, at his residence, near Smithland, Shelby Co., Ind., Rev. Hezekiah Smith, in the 87th year of his age.

    The subject of this notice was born near Augusta, Ga., July 17, 1784. He in early life removed with his parents to Hamilton Co., O. When but a lad he went to Lexington, Ky., to learn the saddler's trade. While there he professed religion and was baptized by Elder Bainbridge into the fellowship of the Baptist Church in that place, in the seventeenth year of his age. Upon the completion of his apprenticeship he returned to Ohio and united with the Duck Creek Baptist Church. He soon united with the Bethel Baptist Church on Donald's Creek, Clark Co., O. This Church soon licensed him to preach, and in 1824, at the call of the same church, a council convened and ordained him to the work of the ministry. He was very active in preaching the gospel wherever opportunity offered. His sphere seemed to be that of an evangelist rather than a pastor, and in that capacity he preferred to labor. He went everywhere preaching the gospel, and many were led to Christ through his untiring labors and faithful presentation of gospel truth. He never shunned to declare the whole counsel of God. The Bible was his text book, and this he daily studied and consequently became "mighty in the Scriptures." He was truly a Bible preacher.

    His moral character was always above reproach. One man said to the writer, "I have known Father Smith for more than forty years, and no man could ever say anything against his Christian character." He was a consistent Christian. He was a man of strong positive convictions. He deliberately and carefully made up his decisions on all moral questions, and then fearlessly and persistently advocated them. He was always in the van in all moral reforms. The great aim and effort of his life seemed to be to elevate society, and to do this by leading the people to Christ.

    The last eighteen years of his life were spent in peace on his farm in Shelby Co., Ind., with his companion, who survives him, and with whom he lived over sixty years, surrounded by most of their children. He went down to the grave like a shock of corn fully ripe, and all felt that a good man had gone to his blessed reward. His funeral sermon was preached by the writer from Rev. xiv.13.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Residence: 4 Sep 1850, Rush County, Indiana, United States
    • Residence: 20 Jun 1860, Smithland, Shelby, Indiana, United States

    Notes:

    Both census records show a birth year of 1808. The website https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~gen2/family/index.htm. It seems feasible for 1/1807 due to the fact that his brother Aaron was born in 1808.

    Jesse married Cornelia Ann Potts on 25 Oct 1827 in Warren County, Ohio, United States. Cornelia was born in 1808 in New Jersey, United States; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

    • Residence: 11 Jul 1870, North Salem, Hendricks, Indiana, United States
    • Residence: 3 Jun 1880, North Salem, Hendricks, Indiana, United States

    Notes:

    In 1800, Congress separated Ohio from the Northwest Territory, designating the rest of the land as the Indiana Territory. In theory this potentially means that records for someone being born in Ohio could be in Indiana.

    The 1850 - 1880 Census has Aaron being born in 1809.

    Birth:
    The birth date is calculated on what the tombstone says of 75 years, 9 months, and 25 days old.

    Aaron married Mary Ann Nebeker on 18 Aug 1831 in Fountain County, Indiana, United States. Mary was born on 20 Feb 1812 in New Castle County, Delaware, United States; died on 26 Oct 1886 in North Salem, Hendricks, Indiana, United States; was buried in North Salem, Hendricks, Indiana, United States.

    Notes:

    The 1860 Census has Elizabeth being born in 1820.

    There is a discrepency in Elizabeth's death. The tombstone says October 14, 1894 and the Indiana Death Index says March 3, 1895. Because the death index does not show me a document, I am going with the tombstone. The death index also states the place of death as Indiana.

    Mrs. J. B. McClain died in Shelbyville on Tuesday morning from a cancerous growth. She was the wife of the late Deacon McClain and both were former citizens of this place. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church in this city, Wednesday forenoon.

    Although Find A Grave has Amanda passing on October 2, 1888 I am going with the WPA death index for Indiana.

    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.

    Notes:

    In the 1850 Census, this child is listed as female. Lawrence to me is a male child's name. However, there is no way to know if Lawrence is the right name for the child and they should have listed him as male because he is no longer living with them in 1860. He either died from something or got married. And, if the name is incorrect there is no way of knowing this either. Come to find out, upon farther research, Lawrence is actually Laurena
