From History of Onondaga County
The first founder of the Hoyt family in this country was Simon Hoyt, who settled in about 1628, at Charlestown. Mass.. where he remained about ten years, when he removed to what is now the State of Connecticut. He was the father of ten children, Walter, the eldest son. being the second generation of the branch of the family which the subject of this sketch represents 1 was the father of four children ; his second son. Zerubabel. was the third, had si. children; Caleb, his third son, was the fourth, had seven children, and his second son, David, born Dec. 3, 1710, was the fifth; and his family consisted of ten children. David, his third son, who was born April 2, 1744, being the grandfather of David H., representing the sixth generation of the family, emigrated about the year 1790, to Greenfield, Saratoga County, taking his family with him, which consisted of three children, his eldest son Jacob, having been born in Connecticut Dec. 2, 1774. He was married to Nancy Shaw, by whom he had five children, David H. being the fourth child and the oldest son was born April 28, 1813. His father dying when he was fourteen months old, the responsibility of providing for and educating the family, befell his mother, and his after success in life must be attributed to the good counsel and lessons received from her. His early life was passed on his father's farm, till 1836, when he removed to the town of Cicero, Onondaga County, and in connection with his brother Jacob, purchased one hundred and thirty-six acres of land, being the same farm on which he now resides. He was married October 5, 1843, to Caroline, daughter of Bartholomew Andrews, she having been born in Cicero July 13, 1823. The result of this happy marriage was six girls and four boys; Charles J., Josephine and Hattie, having passed away. Lucy was born Aprils. 1846;Leroy G., July 30, 1849; Ella E., January 21, 1851 ; Manil C, April 25, 1853 ; John J., March 25, 1855 ; Alice, Sept. 10, 1857 ; Frank D., November 7, 1863. Mr. Hoyt has always been an active worker in the Democratic ranks ; he is also a member of the Reformed Church, and has contributed largely of his means for its support. In looking back over a life of more than threescore years, amongst the many reverses which he has passed through, his widowed heart mourns the loss of his loving help-meet, who passed away March 22, 1877, mourned and beloved by all who knew her.
