source the bowies & their kindred by walter worhtington bowie
Receiving a careful education from his distinguised fathhher, he bacame a fine linguist, well skilled in Greek, Latin French, etc. When a young man he went to sea as supercargo of a merchant vessel owned by his first Cousin, ColWashington Bowie, and Robert Gilmer. While on one of his voyages, the short war between American and Rance occurred. A French privateer captured the ship, and James Bowie, with the other officers and crew were vey cruelly treated by their captors. He was lashed to a gun and so tortured that he never entirley recoved from the effects. After being incarcerated in a Frech prison for a considerable time, he was liberated, returned to America, and entered into business in Georgetown, D.C. The war between the United States and Great Britain in l8l2-l4, precipitated a financial panic, and among other merchants of that era who were forced to make assignments was James Bowie. He then went ot Virginia for a short while as a tutor in the fmaily of Mr. Mason; his earlier training amply fitting him fr such duties. He never held public office, and when some years later he bacame a confirmed cripple, as the result of injuries sustained while a French captive, he resided at the plantation of Col. Washing Bowie , known as "Oatland" and here he continued to instruct may of his neighbors children. He is said to have been a devoted sportsman, and loved to ram the field with his dog and gun. When his infrimities woudl not permit him to continue his tramps, he would have some one take him in his char to the edge of a nighboring forest, and there would beguile the hours with a book, while wating, with his gun acrross his kees, for a chance shot at a squirrel or other game. A constant reader, and har studen, he was admired for his cholarly attaiments and mental abilities. He is buried at "Oatland" Montgomery county, maryland.

52. HEZEKIAH⁵ LINCECUM (MIRIAM⁴ BOWIE, JOHN JR.³, JOHN SR.², JOHNE¹ BOWY) was born Bet. 1770 - 1771 in Warren County, Georgia ⁹, and died Mar 04, 1839 in Lowndes County, Mississippi⁹. He married (1) SARAH STRANGE Bef. 1790 in Prob Fairfield, S.C.⁹. He married (2) SALLY HICKMAN 1791⁹, daughter of WILLIAM HICKMAN and MARIE HORNBECK.

Notes for HEZEKIAH LINCECUM:
"If Hezekiah Lincecum had had the proper biographer or balladeer, he easiily could have become a legend of Southern Folklore."(l)

Hezekiah was the sole Lincecummale to survive the Revolutionary War. His two brothers had been captured and then kjilled shortly after his father was murdered by Indians working for the British government. He was raised in this atmosphere of rebellion and war.

K"Ky" as he appears to have been nickname, was a "strapping thirteen year old", when he met his greatest friend and companion. This man was Thomas Roberts. Her orinally cam to call on "Ky's" sisters. Because of his reputation, he was not suitable for the Lincecum girls and sent on his way.

Hezekiah was tired of being the only male in a household of women, and he was influenced by Roberts to join a Georgia regiment of Indian fighters. He spent three years away from home with the Indian fighters which helped to shape his character."KY" returned home agiat of a man, handsome, roistering, and a great fighter." He could outdirnk, outslug, and outswear any man in Wayne County, Georgia. One of the feats of his colossal strength was to lift a 596 pound forge hammer and hold it on his arm."(2)

He had a voice"that could charm the birds out of the bushes, a singing voice that was an experience to hear and his speaking voice was impressively eloquent and persuasive."(3) They first Baptist preacher to appear in Warren County, Abram Brantly, convinced "KY" to turn to preaching. But first he had to stop his drinking, swearing, and otherwise "sinful" life. It seems that Hezekiah was converted when"that great bulk of a man, confessed an imposing list of a variety of sins before an interested and awed audience in the Baptist church and came out of the baptismal waters shouting the praises of God and urging his townsment to renounce their sins and join him."(4) His old friend THomas Roberts was one of the first to join him in the call to God. There were other converts, especially amon the young women of the area. It was about this time the Hezekiah chose a beautiful, devout young woman named Ally Strange to share his life.(5)

Everyone thought Hezekiah would be one of the greatest preachers in the world, but in a playful mood one Sunday afternoon, he baptized a cat. The congregation was outraged. There were rumors that hi marriage was not so perfect and his wife returned to her family. Presumably, they were divorced, but no record has been found of this fact.(6)

"More and more, Hezekiah was seen in the company of the backsliding Thomas ROberts, whose conversion had failed. When the church trial came the "good brethren voted Hezekiah out ofthe church." After being defrocked, he resumed many of hi old ways.

Hesekiah then began his first formal schooling. This did not last long, for in l79l , he married Sally Hickman a fourteen year old schoolmate.

As the years rolled on. so did Hezekiah and his growing family. Shortly after Gideon (#2) was born he moved to the Oconee River, near Scull Shoals in Georgia. The family remained there only two years becauuse of the Indian problems. He moved on to Handcock County, Georgia, and remained there for three successful years of farming. Hew was tired out and sol everything that he couldn't take with him and headed for Tennessee. HYowever after the first day of travel his mother became ill and a house was rented. He farmed this for a year and sold his cropa na again headed for Tennessee.

This brought the family to South Carolina. Here Hezekiah soon after their arrivval disappeared with an old drunk Irishman. Three days later he returned to say he had rented a farm and house on Calhoun Creek, Abbeville District, South Carolina. Hezekiah and Asa Lincecum cropped the farm that year. He then sold his cotton and went to visit his sisterin Clark County, Georgia. When he returned, he announced hat he had dbought land one mile form AThns and twelve miles from Sister Dolly Durbins Place. In the Athens area he again raised cotton.

Again he sold everything and was to try for Tennessee for the third time. He hired a teamster to help dirve the stock and this drunk man fell asleep and had a severe accident. Hezekiah's mother as well as several children were injured. Miriam Bowie Lincecum suffered a head wound. This caused a delay of three weeks. The journey started again and on the first day they traveled twenty miles before camping. Hezekiah went in search of fodder, returned drunk and"informed his mother that due to her extreme age and in remorse and sympathy for her pain and discomfort while traveling , he had bought a place up the hill." There near Pendleton, South Carolina, he farmed, had peach trees, and had a tavern which sold peach brandy.

After this Hezekiah returned to Georgia, below Athens on the Oconee River. Great numbers of people came to this area. The Lincecum home was on a clear creek one mile form Eatonton, Georgia. By now the family consisted of Gideon, Garland, Grant, Grable (referred to as Gabriel), Green, Rezin, Thorton, Mary, Polly, and Emily

Sometime aft the war of l8l2 Hezekiah again sold out and was on the road for land west of the Tombigbee River. After about fifty miles, they came to the Ocumulgee River, which was the dividing line for the Georgians and the Creek Indians. Again he bought land and stock and remained in the area for a year.

On March l0,l8l8 the west-ward bound party bega it drive. The large party include Hezekiah, wife sally eight of their unmarried children, theri six Negroes, son Gideon, his wife, their two small sons, their two Negroes, and finally Hezekiahs married Daughter Mary and her huysband Joseph Bryan. They stopped in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Here"KY" went on a long exploring trip and when he returned, announced he had found their final home. It was on the Tombigbee River, northwest of Tuscaloosa in the new state of Mississippi. Thus on Nov. l, l8l8 the three Lincecum families began their journey. This journey ended on the Tombigbee River, three miles above the location of Columbus Mississippi./ It is to be noted that by this time Hezekiah was forty eight years old. Presumably this is where Hezekiah made his home until his death.
