Va. Hezekiah appeared as a surety on the marriage bond of Simeon Going, his brother-in-law, and Keziah Tabb, in Henry Co., Va, also in 1801. Hezekiah and Elizabeth were enumerated as White in the 1810 Federal census in Rockingham Co., NC, and in 1820 census in Lee Co., Va. Lee County Law Books and Court Order Books indicate that Hezekiah Minor, a freeman of colour, was in Lee County, Va., between the years 1815 to 1821. He an elizabeth owned 200 acres on Wallings Creek, in the Blackwater Creek area of Lee Co, some 10 miles north and west of present-day Kyles Ford, Tn.

Elizabeth Going Minor died about 1825, Hawkins (now Hancock) Co., Tn. and is assumed buried in Hancock County, probably in the Hurd-Goins Cemetery at Fisher's Valley. Hezekiah is believed to have died likely about 1827-28, in Hancock Co., as he no longer appeared on the records rolls of Blackwater Church by then. Hezekiah was not enumerated in the 1830 Federal Census. He was probably buried in the Hurd-Goin Cemetery, Hancock Co., Tn., where his son Zachariah is believed buried. Hezekiah was received and became a member of Blackwater Primitive Baptist Church, (3) on the second Saturday in May of 1824, and was baptized the same day.
