Hezekiah, b. ca. 1745, NJ; to Loudoun, VA; d. ca. 1814

Can anyone correct any errors in, or add to the info, in the data below on Hezekiah Howell. He was born about 1745, probably in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. He was the son of a John Howell and his mother might have been Mary Oxley, daughter of Henry. By 1762, Hezekiah was living in Loudoun County, Virginia. I believe he is the Hezekiah in the 1810 census for neighboring Fauquier County, Virginia, and that he died circa 1814. If anyone can correct or add to the following, please contact me directly at duaneaboggs@live.com.


HEZEKIAH HOWELL was born Bet. 1744 - 1746 in New Jersey, To John Howell and his wife (Mary Oxley???) and died Bet. 1811 - 1819 in Virginia?. He married UNKNOWN (GILMORE????) Abt. 1766 in Loudoun County, Virginia. She was born Bet. 1755 - 1761.

       ix.       SONLAST HOWELL, b. Abt. 1801; d. Bef. 1901.


These last three "sons" are guesses based on the 1810 census data, but they might be grandson, nephews or otherwise. They seem to have been born very late to be Hezekiah's own sons, especially as he does not seem to have had a second, younger wife who could be their mother?
