Hezekiah's mother died when he was six so his father took him to live with Grandfather and Grandmother: James and Mary Ann Carter so that his father would be free to work on his farm.

One day Hezekiah's father heard the Mormon elders preach the gospel and after a few weeks he became convinced of the truth of the gospel and was baptized a member along with Hezekiah.
