Dear John, 

Thank you for presenting your very interesting website. I am helping my 
82-year-old father-in-law, Charles Hoyt, trace his family. We had a great 
breakthrough when we discovered his great-grandfather Henry John Hoyt b. abt. 
1823. We know from his military record that he was born in New York and have 
recently learned from newly discovered family members that he was married to 
Elizabeth Graves in Jefferson Co., New York in 1845, just prior to moving to 
Wisconsin where the family of six children were born, most of them in 
Mondovi, Buffalo Co., WI. 
Although we don't know that Henry John Hoyt was born in Jefferson Co., New 
York, we have found in Jefferson Co. both a John Hoyt in the 1840 census and 
a Samuel Hoyt in the 1850 census. Both John and Samuel are old enough to be 
Henry John's father. The 1840 census tells us that there was a teenage male 
in John Hoyt's household in the age range for birth in 1823. Samuel Hoyt and 
his wife were both born in New Hampshire. 

We are wondering if you have any information or leads on the Hoyts of 
Jefferson Co., NY that might help in the search for Henry John Hoyt's 
parents. The only other clue we have at this point is the written 
recollection of one of his grandchildren that he was "Scotch." Since this 
could be of maternal derivation, we don't know if this suggests that Henry 
John is not a descendant of the Simon Hoyt family. 

Best wishes and thank you again for your help. 
Sincerely, 
Dan Wharton (& Marilyn Hoyt)
