The following quote is taken from "The Hoyt-Haight Family" By Jared Olar.

"These same-named colonists lived and died around the same time, but lived in different places, married different women, and had different children. (In addition, DNA testing has established that Sgt. John Hoyt of Salisbury was not related to the Simon Hoyt family of which John Hoyt of Fairfield was a member."

Cenotaph: He is named on the First Settlers monument at Golgotha Cemetery in Amesbury
