This page needs to be corrected:

Two individuals named Hezekiah Jackson were born in Virginia in about 1760: Hezekiah son of John Jackson Jr., born in Amelia County, Virginia, and Hezekiah son of Abel Jackson, reportedly born in Lunenburg County, Virginia. Several researchers, not realizing that there were two Hezekiahs, have published genealogies that conflate details gathered about both of them into a single unwieldy narrative as though they were one person. It is important to distinguish that it was Hezekiah son of John Jackson Jr., not Hezekiah son of Abel Jackson, who lived in Halifax and Fayette Counties and married Alice Shelton in 1787. Hezekiah son of Abel Jackson died in Henry County, Kentucky, on 30 October 1808; Hezekiah son of John Jackson Jr. was still alive in 1810, when he and his family appeared in the U.S. census for Cumberland County, Kentucky.
