Notes to self and others -
Fathers of Hezekiah are listed as William I Lassiter and William Lasater DAR records indicate that "William" married to "Keziah X" is father to Hezekiah who married Elizabeth Copeland. So then we have to look at who William's parents are for the two Williams have different parents.
LASSITER, WILLIAM Ancestor #: A066916

Son, Hezekiah has a DAR number, but did not finish his full term of service. It may be since many of his descendants have gone through William as it is a clearer path. William here and his wife Keziah had following DAR proven children:
Mary m. Thomas Bell
Hezekiah m. Elizabeth Copeland
Hardy m. Frances X
This William I Lassiter is a confused mess with the other William Lassiter in the DAR database, I think:
LASSITER, WILLIAMAncestor #: A066917

Birth: 12-22-1756 GRANVILLE CO NORTH CAROLINA
Death: 2-11-1845 CHATHAM CO NORTH CAROLINA

Service Description: 1) CAPTS WILLIAM JONES, JOSEPH ROSSER
2) COLS THOMAS WADE, ROGER GRIFFITH
m. Rebecca Gunter (no relation to me). Children: Rebecca m. Thomas Clegg and William m. Nancy X.
On this William's profile, he has a half-brother that needs sorting/merging, I think.
More recent notes have been placed by me as of last night on the profiles of the two Williams in their About sections.
I am just not sure about William who died in 1766. Doesn't make sense. May be father of all of them, not married to Rebecca Gunter, but an unknown and needs some sort of sorting.
Something is dreadfully wrong and I am scared to mess with them. Need curatorial assistance.
Oh that is sooooo much better! I honestly hope they do not get tangled again, Faustine Darsey on hiatus!
