Hezekiah Munro (1746-1826) was the third child of William Munro and his wife Elizabeth. He is listed in official records as a “yeoman”. In 1770, he became ensign of Jeremiah Ingraham‘s Company of Bristol Militia, holding that rank until 1776. In 1772, Hezekiah married Hopestill Potter. In 1774, as part of a town-wide effort, he sent a sum of six shillings to support the people of Boston (that city’s port having been recently closed by the British). Hezekiah was counted as a head of household in the 1774 Rhode Island Census. In 1779, he was a member of Thomas Allen‘s Bristol County Alarm Company.
