    Notes:

    Family tradition holds that Hezekiah came to America in April 1633, whenhe was 14 years old, on the ship Recovery. There are no records of thisvessel or its voyages that I have found. Hezekiah first settled inScituate, Mass., and afterwards Taunton, where he was one of the originalpurchasers of the town. He is mentioned as a brother of John, but we findno evidence of the fact.
    He came to New England perhaps before Joanna, and his children wereMarcy, 1654; Nathaniel, 1656; Sarah, 1658; Elizabeth, 1660; Edward, 1663;Lydia, 1665; Mary, 1669; Hezekiah, 1678.
    Hezekiah served with young Miles Standish when , "in 1654, in theexpedition ordered against the Dutch at Manhatoes (New York) by theCommissioners of the United Colonies, under Major Robert Sedgwick ofMassachusetts, Plymouth Colony enlisted and impressed sixty men, to becommanded by Capt. Miles Standish, Lieutenant Matthew Fuller, and EnsignHezekiah Hoar" (History of Scituate, Massachusetts, Page 118 ). Hezekiahremoved from Scituate to Taunton soon after.
    The name is now often spelled Horr or Hoard.

    Hezekiah married Rebecca R. UNKNOWN in 1653 in Taunton, Bristol, Massachusetts. Rebecca was born in 1630 in Taunton, Bristol, Massachusetts; died on 12 Dec 1692 in Taunton, Bristol, Massachusetts. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
