Biography

Hezekiah was born in Maryland about 1780.

From History of Carroll and Harrison Counties, Ohio -1921

Hezekiah Garner, settled (Harrison county, Ohio) about the year 1818 and reclaimed a farm from the forest, only ten acres of the tract of 160 acres having been cleared when the property came into his possession, and the original domicile of the family having been a log cabin, which soon gave place to a house that was far superior to the average dwellings of the locality and period. Hezekiah Garner developed a productive farm, and here he continued to reside until his death in 1866. He was born in Maryland about 1780, was there reared to manhood and thence went forth as a gallant young soldier in the War of 1812. By his first marriage he became the father of three children — James, John and Julia (Mrs. Hugh Rose), Julia having been the last to survive and having been a resident of Harrison County at the time of her death. For his second wife Mr. Garner married Sophia Tippitt, and they became the parents of eight children : Elizabeth, Mary Bell, Susanna, Sarah (Mrs. Titus), Nelson, Amanda (Mrs. Beall), Edward (father of the subject of this sketch), and Thomas.

Hezekiah passed away in 1866.
