The Final Years for Hezekiah

Hezekiah was a royalist in the American Revolution, and would have been about 60 years of age by that time, with a full family. He ended up moving to the next state of New York, to Schoharie county around 1775 or -76, towards the end of the war, where he later died. His will was made on February 4, 1807 and was proved twenty days later%CITE{1001}%.
