J. G. & G.G. HOYT'S in LYONS-MUIR, IONIA Co., MI - Earliest Michigan Flour-Grist-Roller Mill Jonathan G. Hoyt came to settle in Muir / Lyons, MI. with 1 brother, Benjamin Hoyt, and His father Timothy Hoyt (1850-60's), in the early 1840's, as Benjamin shows being married in Muir, Ionia Co., in 1843 to Rosina Elizabeth Van Wie. And they ran a farm, West of town. I believe that both Jonathan G. & son, William Spencer Hoyt, & George G. Hoyt, worked in the Anchor Grist / Flour Mill until the late 1882 or 85, when Jonathan G and Son, William Spencer went to Saline MI, for 4 years, then moved to Spokane, Wa to start a Milling Business, then a floral & greenhouse business. (See Below Article). George G. (b. 1846 in Cayuga Co., NY), came in the late1860's, as he married in 1870 to Elizabeth ADELLA (Gerould), and had bought property N. of town, next to Jonathan G. Hoyt. George G. worked at farming and at the Anchor Mill, until moving to Pinkney , Elm Hall, Mack City, Grist Mills, then moved to Saline, MI with his father abt. 1884. Benjamin & Rosina Hoyt may have stayed and moved out West in 1900's. (The Great Muir Fire of 1896 burnt down the Anchor Mill and other businesses in Muir, MI, with most or all our families had moved away at that time). Jonathan G. & William Spencer, along with George G. & Families, (as George MARCUS Hoyt, graduated from Saline Public Schools abt. 1888-89), moved to Saline, Washtenaw Co., MI to operate the Mill their, from 1896-1900.

HOYT'S in SALINE, YORK TWP., WASHTENAW Co., MI A book that is a collection of Saline area pictures, "Images
of America; Saline" by Susan Kosky that was published in 2003.
There is a nice picture of the mill with the following caption.
The water-powered York Mill was built in 1836 on the Spring Brook
in York Township. In 1868 it was renovated to use either water or
steam. The mill burned in 1881, and was rebuilt by J.G. Hoyt &
Son. For more than 45 years the mill produced White Swan flour,
used in many Michigan kitchens. In 1911, Edward and Herman Alber
bought the mill, selling it to Jacob Theurer a few years later.
In 1930, ownership of the property reverted to Edward Alber, who
again called it York Mill and began producing "Snow Loaf"
flour. Alber later sold the mill to Gerhardt Cekau. It ceased grinding
grain after World War II. It was razed in 1945 to make way for a
new slaughterhouse for poultry.
JONATHAN (John) G. HOYT, owned and operated
the York Mill business from 1876 to about 1890, he rebuilt the mill,
when it burned in 1881, with his sons, George G & William S.
Hoyt, for approximately 13 years. Fredrick
Van Wie Hoyt was attending Yale University Divinity School, and
graduated 1881. George Greenwood (nickname Gerald, pro-nounced Ja-raud)
Hoyt, then removed to Elm Hall, Graiot Co, MI in 1878.
Wiliam S. went to Spokane, WA, about 1884,
and John G. located to Spokane, WA about 1890. Fredrick VW Hoyt
followed to Spaokane, WA, 1900's. ***NEW*** JONATHAN G. HOYT - LAND PATENT - 171 A. SALINE, MI (GIF) - (.PDF)
