Notes |
- Hezekiah moved from Hartford CT to Deerfield, MA and from there to Northfield,
Massachusetts on 25 May 1712. Note that this was in an area that was disputed
between the colonies. It was originally Northfield, part of Massachesetts Bay,
then Hinsdale, Cheshire, NH, then Hinsdale, Cumberland, New York and since
1802, Vernon, Windham, VT.
He was a soldier in Capt Kellogg's Company in 1724 and the owner of Elmore's
Island, in the Connecticut River, in 1731.
