Hezekiah and Elizabeth Belew married 1 Jan 1811 in Union County, South Carolina. (See War of 1812 record source below.)

RESEARCH NOTES - Lea Walker Sullivan Sept 23, 2023. There has been a difference of opinion amongst researchers about the parentage of Hezekiah Coleman. I feel the following excertps from March 1. 2023 From [3] Page 6 "Children of Robert Coleman and His Wife, Ann Hinton: Abner Coleman Abner Coleman, Sr. was born circa 1755, could help clear up some doubt.
"Abner Coleman Sr. gave 90 acres of land to his son Hezekiah on the north side of Mill Creek on September 13, 1811. The deed transaction mentions their son, Abner, Jr.
Hezekiah sold his land to Philip Coleman, son of William, on December 26, 1811. His cousin, Richard, witnessed the transaction. Hezekiah’s wife, Elizabeth Belue, relinquished her right of dower. They moved their family to Gwinnett County, Georgia".
There has been much confusion on this family line. Several of the children of McDonald Coleman (1836-1878) filed applications with the Guion Miller Rolls, Eastern Cherokees Application (specifically, application #44808 which was attached to Sidney Bird Coleman application, which combined all the applications together.) It was Rejected:
Ancestors were not parties to treaties of 1833-6 - 46; [said] grand parents (Hezekiah and wife Elizabeth) born prior to 1835; near two hundred miles from Cherokee territory; no affiliation or association with Cherokee tribe.
