Fifth Generation  

There is no proof that this is the father of my Stephen Hoyt. There is a Stephen Hoyt from Stamford, CT who also could be the father of my Stephen.

Stephen married (name unknown).

Their children were:

8         i.  Stephen HOYT (born about 1770 in VT, USA - died in NOV 1832 in Brady Twp, Kalamazoo Co, MI, USA)
         ii.  Ransford HOYT (born about 1775 -)

The ancestry for William Carter is unproven, but appears to be likely.

William married Mary "Polly" WEIGAND circa 1780 in New York City, NY, USA. Mary was born about 1755 in NY, USA Another name for Mary was Polly WEYGANDT.

Their children were:

9         i.  Mary "Polly" CARTER (born about 1783 in NY, USA - died in 1874 in Schoolcraft, Kalamazoo Co, MI, USA)
         ii.  William Powell CARTER (-)
        iii.  Elizabeth CARTER
         iv.  Leah CARTER
          v.  Keziah CARTER (- died in 1813 in Fort Miegs, OH, USA)
         vi.  John CARTER (- died in 1813 , buried in Fort Miegs, OH, USA)
        vii.  Rebeccah CARTER (- died about 1813 in OH, USA)
       viii.  Samuel CARTER (- died in 1877)
         ix.  Catherine CARTER
          x.  Thomas CARTER
         xi.  Marth "Patsy" CARTER (- died in 1835)
        xii.  Jonathon CARTER

Mary is referred to as German or Dutch in different records. I have not been able to determine which is correct. I was told by my grandmother that we were part German, but I do not know if she was referring to the Weigand family or to the fact that Hoyt is a German name. This surname has been spelled many different ways. I have seen it frequently spelled as Weygandt and several of Mary's siblings used the name Wagoner.

Mary married William CARTER, son of Joshua CARTER and Elizabeth LOVELL, circa 1780 in New York City, NY, USA. William was born about 1760 in Woburn, MA, USA and died in 1818 in Belleville Twp, Union Co, Ohio, USA.
