Notes

Hezekiah was either born in Amherst or Botetourt Co VA. His parents were listed in Amherst on the 1820 census and in botetourt Co in 1830. Since Hezekiah was born in 1829, either place could have been his birth place.

In the 50's he went by wagon with his in-laws Henry Miller and Catherine (Montogomery) Miller to IA from Rockbridge Co. They stopped for the winter in Lucas Co where others of the Miller family settled earlier. It was here that his wife Janetta Miller Burks gave birth to a son Joseph Linchfield Burks and a few days later where the mother died; probably the result of childbirth, or perhaps an epidemic of some type as a week later another son Charles Robert died who was 7 years old. It is there at the Goshen Cemetery, Union Twp. that both are buried.

Later, the Millers and Hezekiah Burks moved on to Ringgold Co. IA. Hezekiah later married Mary Lech Miller wi/of John Addison Miller who died at Vicksburg, MS during the Civil War. John Addison Miller was the brother of Janetta Miller. To this second marriage one child was born, Ida Ruth Burks.

Little is known of this grandparent; however in 1865 he died after he had developed pneumonia from digging a grave for a neighbor who had died. I have no land records for Hezekiah in VA. Perhaps he was living with his parents when he married at the age of 24, and may have lived with the Miller family.
