Hezekiah Hawes was Daniel's fifth child.(1)
From Allan C. Edmands II (Fred's grandson) in 2002:
Under the description for Hezekiah's father (Our Second Ancestor in America), Hezekiah is listed as the third child.

He was born at Wrentham, Massachusetts, on November 22, 1688. He died at Wrentham July 2, 1777[,] in his 89th year. He married Esther Ware on December 17, 1718. She was the daughter of Robert and Sarah Ware of Wrentham.(2)
From Allan C. Edmands II (Fred's grandson) in 2002:
Maybe Robert Ware was connected to the "Mr. Ware" who came to Daniel Hawes's relief during King Philip's War.

He was the Deacon of the Wrentham Church. For a time he was in the Colonial War Service.
Of this union there are six recorded children:
Esther
Ebenezer
Hezekiah, Jr.
John
Abial
Nathan
All these children were born in Wrentham.
Beside Hezekiah being mentioned in Daniel's will, all these other facts are clearly stated in the Town Records of Wrentham.
If he left a will, I failed to find where it was ever probated, or where administration proceedings were had. At the time of his death, we find that his youngest child had been born forty-three years before. It is entirely probable that he distributed what he had before his death, or in any event that he and his children made their own arrangements about division of property to save fees.
