With the exception of a request that perishable property be sold to cover just debts, Hezekiah left all of his property to his wife while she lived and afterwards desired that the land and belongings be divided equally among his five daughters. One special case was that, if she so desired, his oldest daughter was to have his homestead if she would relinquish the home and land where she then lived and if that land were added back to the total estate to be divided equally among the five daughters.

  • Notes 
    • I have seen photographs of the cemetery where Hezekiah Skinner and Elizabeth are buried. The cemetery lies within a residential property along the highway somewhere near Corinth and Hinton Kentucky. Some of the cemetery stones are large obilisk type monuments.

      The place of Death may have come from my grandfather, Howard Francis Boyle, but Hinton is in Harrison County, KY, not Scott County.

      Census records show that Hezekiah and Elizabeth lived in Scott County from at least 1850 through 1900 and probably until their death.
