Hezekiah is listed in the 1850 census under the name H. Fish in Warren Co., IA. He was living with P. G. Bryon who is also listed as a physician.
The Civil War pension index lists Effie Fisk, widow of Hezekiah Appl 69,342 Cert 121,406 dated Oct 19, 1864, 15th Iowa Infantry. I suggest getting a copy of his pension a copy if you haven't already. It costs $75 from the National Archives in Washington, DC. While it is pricey and the genealogical data it contains may vary it could have the very information you are looking for.
For one ancestor of mine it included an affidavit quoting the family bible and included all the pensioner's siblings' birth dates and his parents' marriage date.
As I understand it Civil War pensions will all eventually be online, but I don't know the timeline.some are already online at Footnote.com for a fee. His service record may also have some genealogical data but it is less likely. The Archives would have that record too.
