Person:Hezekiah Wheat (2)

I believe he was the brother of Joseph F. Wheat 1830, George W. Wheat 1828, and Elizabeth Wheat 1824 who married Leonard Hagen/Hogan. They were all in Illinois in 1850 & 1860, and all three emigrated to Neosho Kansas by 1870. I believe he married Elizabeth (Mattingly) Fowler and had 5 children: Mary Laura, Regina Virginia, Joseph, Virginia Lucinda, and Hezekiah.

 In the 1850 census for Union, Fulton Co., Illinois, Hezekia Wheat is 28 KY, farmer; with Elizabeth 24 KY.
 In the 1860 census for Union, Fulton Co., Illinois, Hezekiah Wheat is 39 born Kentucky, farmer; Elizabeth is 34 b. KY, [stepsons] John [Fowler] 17; and Thomas [Fowler] 13; [their children] Mary 10; Regina 7; Joseph 4; and Virginia 1 -- all born Illinois. {p. 802} NOTE: This is the same page as her parents.
