| Notes |
- Hezekiah together with his brother John McKnitt were signers of the Mecklenburg Declaration. In 1774 Hezekiah built a house out of rocks. The family lived there for many years. His restored home is open to the public in Charlotte, North Carolina. There is a museum on the property also.
He was a member of the Mecklenburg County Committee of Safety. On August 21, 1775, Hezekiah was appointed by the Provincial Congress meeting in Hillsborough to the Salisbury District Committee of Safety which was to serve as the local governing body for a multi-county area. In November, 1776, Hezekiah joined other state delegates at Halifax to form the Fifth Provincial Congress which was charged with the task of writing the first state constitution. After the Halifax Congress, Hezekiah joined the Fourth Regiment of North Carolina Troops as Paymaster.
