Hezekiah Gentry

(Ca 1729 - 4 Apr 1824)



In support of Hezekiah being about 95 at his death in 1824, or born about 1729.
In 1757, he purchased 100 acres of land for 40£ - he would have to be over 21 and could be several years older
In 1752, he was over 16 because his father David was assessed for only one tithe in his household and Hezekiah wasn't living with his father or David would have been assessed for another male. And Hezekiah doesn't appear with his father between 1749 and 1752 - so he was probably already on his own by 1749 or about age 20 or so.

Hezekiah married about 1753 in Lunenburg Co VA to Catherine Reynolds.
