Hezekiah Smith, son of Asa and Anne Smith of Glocester, Rhode Island was born on October 24, 1787. According to the 1790 census of Glocester, he had at least two brothers and one sister. On August 5, 1810, he married Adah Salisbury, the daugher of Richard and Elizabeth Eaton Salisbury, also of Glocester. Hezekiah was 23 and Adah was 17. They became the parents of eleven children, including Eliza (Loisa) who was my great great grandmother.

It is possible that Hezekiah had land in Killingly, CT or New York as well as his holdings in Glocester. He was in Glocester in 1814 according to the deed of land from his father. His death record has not been found. His wife Adah was a widow in 1850.
