My DAR ancestor, Hezekiah Smith, was born in Delaware 18 April 1763 and died 26 August 1824 and is buried in Crown Hill Cemetery, Indianapolis, Marion County, Indiana. At the age of 16 he enlisted in the Continental army at Granby MA in Col. Marshall's Regiment--4th Hampshire, and, as a private, was in nine battles. His eldest brother, Daniel, was killed in the Revolutionary War. His brother Simeon was also in the Revolutionary War and also served in the War of 1812. My Hezekiah Smith (there were several who fought in the Revolutionary War) married Mary Ann Rector, who was "raised by her uncle, Presley Neville" near Pittsburgh, after the death of her mother. This fact is, however, in dispute since her Rector family also has ties in Kentucky--which I will pursue later. Following the war, Hezekiah Smith did surveying along the Ohio River. After Hezekiah Smith and Mary Ann Rector married, they moved "to Mason County, Kentucky, near May's Lick, Bluelicks, Nicholas County, Kentucky, on a farm on Indian Creek." (This combination of counties is confusing to me.) In 1820, they sold the farm in Kentucky and moved to Marion County, Indiana and settled in the woods on 27 October 1820 where they became one of the earliest pioneers to settle in Marion County, Indiana. (As a result, I am a member of the Society of Indiana Pioneers.) Nowhere have I been able to discover information about Hezekiah Smith's family. (The National Archives has no record; New England Genealogical & Historical Society could find no record; Massachusetts and Delaware forums could find no information.) In the Latah County, Idaho, in a bio of his grandson, Marques L. Smith, "His grandfather, Hezekiah Smith, fought under George Washington, for six years in the Revolutionary War. The great-grandfather," (also named) "Hezekiah Smith, was murdered by Tories and Indiana while his son, Hezekiah, was fighting for the independence of the colonies." Several Hezekiah and Mary Ann's children were born in Mason County, Kentucky, including my great-great grandfather, Daniel Rector Smith. Can anyone assist me in finding what information might be gleaned from Kentucky records about my ancestor? Otherwise, he remains my family's brick wall in tracing our Smith ancestry. Marian P.S. Sorry about the length of this inquiry but I am trying to get all of my information into one request...
