Cap't Hezekiah Allen, Obt. August 16th, 1775.
A note found in the Source:Dedham Historical Register (Dedham Historical Society), Vol. 6, p. 43 gives a useful summary of the basics of Hezekiah Allen's life. However, both he and his son were called Capt. in their respective death records in Dedham, so the case of mis-identification being discussed appears to result from confusion on the note writer's part.
