The correct spelling of Moses last name is Hoyt. In notes from Moses in his Civil War pension file, he states that the man spelled his name incorrectly as Hoit when he enlisted in the military. References are consistently seen showing both spellings.
Moses also served in Company E, 4th Minnesota Infantry. His rank was Farrier.
On 1 Jan 1855 Plainfield, Will, Illinois Moses married his first wife was Harriet Newel Bronson b. 10 Oct 1834 Illinois d. 31 Mar 1866 Faribault, Rice, Minnesota. They had 4 children: Emma Zetta, Sylvester, Lovina Jane and Martha.
Moses served twice during the Civil War. 1862 Private, 4th Minnesota Infantry, Company E, Union and next Private & Farrier, 2nd Minnesota Calvary, Company C, Union. He was released the first time due to illness. There is a theory that he may have had measles, which was going around at the time. His youngest daughter Martha lost her hearing due to this illness. He did not fight against the southern states, but was instead assigned to fight in the Indian Wars in the north.
In Sep 1868, Moses had a daughter, Hattie, with Hannah Harmon. Hannah was the widow of John Harmon. She is shown living with Moses in the 1870 U.S. Federal Census as well as the 1875 Minnesota Census. By 1880, she is living on her own and is again using the name Hannah Harmon. In Moses Civil War pension file, he lists all of his other 3 wives and all of his children. He claims Hattie as his daughter, but does not claim Hannah as his wife. In one note, there is a notation that says "cohab". So, it appears they were never married.
On 26 Nov 1876 in Medford, Steele, Minnesota, Moses married his second wife, Minerva G. Loveland, widow of Cyrus Foote. They moved to Tennessee where Minerva died 1 Mar 1888 in Smithville, De Kalb, Tennessee. Just a few days later, while still in Tennessee, Moses married for a third time, 28 Mar 1888 DeKalb, Tennessee to Almira Mangum.
While in Tennessee, Moses adopted 2 sons, Oscar and Fred. Their birth name is unknown and they were raised with the Hoyt surname.
In Jan 1889, a daughter Pearl and in Mar 1890, a son William were born to the couple. The 1890 Veterans Census shows the family living in Cannon, Tennessee. By 1900, they had moved to Washington State and settled in Chehalis, Lewis, Washington. Moses remained here the rest of his life. He ran a couple of hotels here.∼He worked as a farrier during the Civil War.
