Descendants of Hezekiah SMALLWOOD

First Generation

1. Hezekiah SMALLWOOD was born July, 1799 in South or North Carolina. He died on 18 Sep 1869 in Clark Co, Missouri.  NOTE: Hezekiah's other birth listings are VA/KY/GA  Photos - Gravestone of Hezekiah Smallwood

Hezekiah married Elizabeth "Betsy" BROUGHTON, daughter of Woodard or Woodward BROUGHTON and Elizabeth BLUFORD, on 18 Mar 1822 in Knox Co., KY by Rev Blaggrove Hopper. Elizabeth was born about 1807 in Clay Co., KY. She died in prob Missouri.

GOOD NEWS!

Recently a test result was received for a probable descendant of Elijah Smallwood of Surry Co., North Carolina.  His test results closely matched those of three other participants at least one of whom is a descendant of Hezekiah Smallwood and Elizabeth Broughton of Laurel/Rockcastle Co, KY and Schuyler Co., MO.  Hezekiah has been a brick wall for us, so this news is very encouraging.  It means that their descendants are most likely descendants of William Smallwood and Mary Hanson of Granville Co., North Carolina.

We still need more males with the surname Smallwood who are probable descendants of the Charles Co., Maryland Smallwoods to take the Y-DNA test.  Please encourage your relatives to participate!
