HUSBAND Notes: Harvey W HOYT
==========================================================================================

General(1): Harvey Hoyt married Emily MORSE ca. 1840 in the town of Lafayette, Onondaga Co. NY. Their first child Juliette was possibly born there as well. However, there was a Harvey Hoyt listed in the 1840 Fed. Census in Essex Co. town of Jay, NY. No information has been found on the family in Essex to prove this was the same family.

The Hoyts were found in Elk county PA, town of Jones in the 1850 Fed. Census. According to the pension record of their daughter Ellen Gibbs, filed when her husband Silas died, Ellen was born in McKean co. PA June 25, 1845, so we know the family were also in that county. How long they lived there is not known. From McKean county they went to Rock county, WI. Found the family on the 1860 Fed. Census.

A daughter Emma Hoyt was born to Harvey and Emily in 1861 in Rock co. Sometime between 1861 and 1865 Emily Hoyt died and on Sept 15, 1865 Harvey Married a widow, Mary Casey, who's maiden name was Hooben or Hoben. In 1868 Harvey and Mary had a daughter, Theresa. In 1870 the family was in Janesville, Rock co.

Sometime between 1870 and 1880 Harvey and Mary, and their son Frank A. Hoyt moved to Michigan. Harvey, Mary and daughter Theresa were found in Spaulding twp. Menominee Co. MI on the 1880 census. Their son Frank and wife Hannah (Gilbert) were there as well.

Frank A Hoyt and wife Hannah moved to Appleton, Outagamie co. WI. and Frank died there on June 26th or 29th (death cert. says 26th, cem. rec. says 29th) 1915. He and Hannah are buried in Janesville at the Oakhill Cemetery.

Mary Casey Hoyt, wife of Harvey, died on April 15, 1881 in Spaulding twp. Menominee Co. MI. A marriage record for a Harvey Hoyt was found in Menominee Co. MI to a Cathrin Hill, dated Nov 22, 1881.

UPDATE:
Received an e-mail from Sandra Woy-Hazleton on Febr 27, 2002. She corresponded with Lynda Atherton, the great-granddaughter of Theresa Elizabeth Drum. In her letter she wrote about the Hoyt's, quoting from the David M. Hoyt history, 1870 until Noah S. Hoyt, (1786-1853). She then continues:

"This is where the records end. Evidently when David wrote this book Harvey never responded because he is the only child of Noah that is left blank. Thank God for my great-grandmother who kept meticulous records. Here goes the rest:

According to Theresa Elizabeth Hoyt Drum, who is my great-grandmother and the youngest child of Harvey (also the only child of Harvey and his second wife Mary Hooban Casey), Harvey Hoyt was born December 27, 1812 in Pompey, Onondaga Co. NY. He married for his first wife Emily Morse. They had children: Julia A., Franklin Alexander, Ellen Amlia, Catherine J. Janet, Mary Ann (who married a Bartly and was killed by a train in Dec 1888 in Santa Ana, California), Harriet, Wellington Orlando, Lucy Jeanette, and Emma Victoria (born May 1862, died Aug 15, 1877 in Salinas City, California of diphtheria).

Harvey married for his second wife, Mary Hooban Casey (widow of Michael Casey from County Cord Ireland). They had one child, Theresa Elizabeth, born December 23, 1867 in Rock, Wisconsin.

Harvey married for his third wife, Catherine Hill. Here is where it really gets confusing but interesting if you can sort it all out. Harvey's second wife Mary died when their daughter was barely 14. I think this is the way my grandmother tells the story. Harvey married Catherine Hill soon after Mary's death. Theresa and her stepmother didn't get along . But Catherine's sisters, Olive Hill Drum, had a son named Charles Henry that Theresa met soon after her father remarried. She married him less than a year after her mother's death, partially to escape living with her stepmother.

Mary Hooban Casey b. Ma 10, 1828, d. 15 April 1881 in Powers, Mich. She is buried in Janesville, Wisconsin.

Theresa Elizabeth Hoyt b. 23 Dec 1867 m. Charles Drum February 5, 1882. d. 25 Feb 1938. Buried in Janesville.

Catherine Hill b. 21 Sept 1818, d. 1891

Harvey Hoyt was a Baptist and worked for the railroad. He continued to move west as the railroad was expanded. He died March 30, 1892 and is buried in Spaulding, Menominee county MI.

Mary Hooban was a Catholic and so was her daughter Theresa. Charles Drum was a Methodist and an Ice Man. So I assume that Catherine Hill was Methodist also. Charles turned Catholic after he married. I don't know anything about Emily Morse except her name and the children's names.

Theresa and Charles had 5 children; (1) Mary Sullivan was adopted at about age three, she came on one of the orphan trains from New York. She married August Elser and died in Los Angeles, Cal. (2) Genevieve Olive b. 16 December 1893 in Janesville, WI had three husbands; FRank J. Andrews, Jacob J. Bury, F. H. Henderson. (3) Leslie Thomas b. 18 August 1896 married Myrtle Honeysett on 6 December 1924, the Mary Ludden andd. Nov 20, 1960. (4) Lillian Regina Sept 7, 1898, married Peter V. Schustesr , Oct 1917. (5) Stanley Torquatus b. 15 May 1902, married Ada Boss on 12 July 1927. d. 22 Feb 1974.

Lillian and Peter Schuster had 6 children; Shirley Regina (Kuefler), Robert James, Doris Josephine (Miller, and my mother), Eugene Joseph, Theresa Catherine (Scholz) and Charles Anthony.

Doris Josephine and James Miller had 5 daughters of which I am the oldest.

At last count Grandma had 24 living grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren.
