A prominent early leader in the government of Tazewell Co, sixth son of Henry Harman Sr. the famous Indian fighter.

Hezekiah was born either Oct 30, 1771 (Bible record) or Nov 30 1772 (tombstone record) probably in Rowan County N.C.. From there, his famly moved to southwest Virginia about 1775 or 1776.

Hezekiah signed several of the petitions circulated in the 1790's supporting the formation of Tazwell County from Russell and Wythe Counties. From this time on he was mentioned repeatedly in the court records of Tazewell County.

He was appointed the first surveyer of Tazewell County in 1800, having served as deputy surveyor of Wythe County for several months. His first assignment was to survey the land given by William Peery and Samuel Ferguson for the county seat for which he was allowed $5.25 compensation. In 1800, Governor James Monroe appointed Hezekiah a Justice of the County Court. He sat on the bench until 1830, part of that time as Presiding Justice.

He was appointed lieutenant, captain, major, and colonel of the 112th Regiment of the Militia of Virginia and served until March 1830, when he became sheriff of Tazewell Co.
His will, dated Jan 25 1845, mentions ten children.

Hezekiah was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1815. He conveyed to the trustees of the church (of which he was one) "one acre around Bethel meeting housing on the head of Clinch (river)."

Hezekiah was a slave holder as evidenced by his will. He stated that his slaves were to be liberated upon his wife's death if the law would permit their freedom. If not, the slaves were to choose any one of his children to be their guardians.
