Second Generation  

William married first Ellen Bigford who died 11 Jun 1879.
William and his parents and siblings moved to Oklahoma in 1889 at the time of the "Land Run". He had a harness shop in Downs and lived in Cashion. He took a patent to NW 29-12N-4W and his wife, Francis bought the W SW 6-T15N-R5W near Reeding.

William married Frances Lamira HATHAWAY, daughter of Anson Hemans HATHAWAY and Experience REYNNELLS, on 3 FEB 1897 in Porter Twp, Van Buren Co, MI, USA. Frances was born on 26 JUN 1858 in Porter Twp, Van Buren Co, MI, USA and died on 14 JAN 1933 in Detroit, Wayne Co, MI, USA.

Their children were:

1         i.  Sylvia Hathaway HOYT (born on 26 JAN 1900 in Downs, Kingfisher Co, OK, USA - died on 20 OCT 1976 in Detroit, Wayne Co, MI, USA)
         ii.  Lynn Anson HOYT (born on 15 FEB 1903 in Cashion, Kingfisher Co, OK, USA - died on 20 AUG 1962 in Laramie, WY, USA)

Frances was age 38 when she married. She was age 41 when she had her first child and 43 when she had her second child. I have several letters that were written by Frances' family. They were quite shocked that she would marry and move out to the "wilds" of Oklahoma. They were especially surprised that she had child at her age out in the middle of nowhere.

Frances married William Henry HOYT, son of Hiram C HOYT and Sylvia M WATKINS, on 3 FEB 1897 in Porter Twp, Van Buren Co, MI, USA. William was born on 4 SEP 1849 in Prairie Ronde, Kalamazoo Co, MI, USA and died on 2 OCT 1906 in Ann Arbor, Washtenaw Co, MI, USA.
