I Remember; A Journey with my Parents, Grandparents, Uncles &Aunts & Church Heritage & Traditions

     I remember, having to get dresses every Sunday in good clothes to go to Church, then attend the Sunday School classes, with my parents & many times, grandpa and grandma Hoyt, and many times after church, we would go across the street from the church to visit with Grandpa & Grandma (Hugh P. & Kittie (Hoag) Hoyt, having dinner, and others stopping in to talk & visit also. Grandpa Hoyt , as well as, Grandma Hoyt would always read from the "Good Book", and at a youung age, when Dad, Paul M. Hoyt, could get home from the Mill on time for Dinner, he would read from the "Good Book" or pray before each dinner.I know my Grandnother and Mother were involved with the Church, many times Mother, (Pauline (Mericle) Hoyt, having to leave the house to help with the churches activities, food, usually was made and taken with them, whether if it was a wedding, a furneral, special functions, etc. A;; of us children learned good ethics and morals from parents, church leaders and teachers of Sunday School, to the older High School times of the Youth Group. In a small town, many of your teachers from the Public schools, were also at the church teaching Sunday School, too. I guess, since you carry these learned traits and institutions, you can choice to either carry on the same traditions, as your parents and grandparents showed to you. Old addages of; "Cleanliness is next to Godliness, etc. were phrases we always heard, and you know, these phrases are not far off the true path for happiness within oneself. Learning a spiritual life, will prepare you for the shocks in the World and in your life, and the pitfalls and the "Winter" times of your life, as well as, give you a sense of a huge community passed and present living helping you through your Spiritual & Real lifes journey. I remember, Father entering names in the family Bible, showing us the 'Big' (Masonic) Bible, that I hold dearly, and is outr for viewing and reading in my computer room to this day. Of course, all this joins with Dad showing me the Family History, as it always seemed to generate interest whenm we discussed religion, church and vice versa, and when family was mentioned, the Christian aspect of living always was present, and since Dad came from a strick home of Hugh P. Hoyt, and Grandma Kittie (Hoag) Hoyt would be the most gracious and kind, person, as my Mother was, to offset this strict home, although they both believed in good Christian Bible and wealth of learning, as well as, learning to help other people in the community who were not as fortuinate. Grandpa Hoyt & my father & Uncle, Paul & Hugh H Hoyt, would give bags of flour to the poorer of families in the community at each Christmas Season, so they could have something to make and eat, during the Winter periods.The Famil Gatherings which took place often, and Family Reunions evry 5 to 10 years, is a joy, I have been able to identify most of them in the photographs, with the help of other family members, so that we may know who were able to attend these Reunions and yearly Gatherings at the Huigh P. Hoyt home. The Clinton Hoyt's have had some tragedies to overcome, with the strong Christian beliefs and background, the accidental deaths of young & old Hoyt's throughout the years in Clinton, were bereaved, but Blessed, that the ones passed on, were going to a far better place and free from injuries and sickness. First, was the sickness death of Nina Rood Hoyt, 16, daughter of Hugh P. Kittie (Hoag) Hoyt, from a 3 year heart ailment, then, in the Winter of 1923-24, a & cold, went into her glands, (Obit). Then, Earnest E. Hoyt's son, George E. Hoyt, passed 2 months later, (no obit), on March 21, 1924. Hugh P. Hoyt & Edward E. Hoyt had to purchase the Hoyt F-22 lot in the Clinton Roverside Cem. for both their children in 1924. Years later, Edward E. Hoyt, was killed in a mill accident in his & his brother's Atlas Mill, in Clinton on Feb. 12, 1952, Next, Hugh P. Hoyt, followed 11 months later, from short sickness in FL on Jan. 22, 1953. Then, within a year to date, Mark Miller Hoyt, 11 year old son of Hugh H. & Betty (Miller) Hoyt, was accidentally killed on U.S. 112, on his bicycle and was struck by a car, West of Clinton near Matthews Highway. We cherish our roots, our Christian Heriatge, our Church & Biblical Readings, friendships gained in our Communities, and a good sound moral conservative based living,a dn Celebrate those Hoyt's and Friends whom have passed on. My Mother's Familes, ther Mericles, were Christians & pious, that attended Methodist & Presbyterian Churches, read the Bible, and that my Mother passed on to us the good part of being kind and considerate to others, helping and becoming involved in Church activities. Both my brothers attend Church regularly, help in Church and functions, Deacons. I have been involved in several Churches, from Congregational, to Catholic, to Non-denominationa, marrying, lastly, in a Methodist Church of my wife, Barbara, and she I are members.I have been in church choirs, church men's clubs, Sunday School teacher, as well as,, involved with support for doing yard work, painting, Christmas time specials, and in Carolina Beach Methodist Church, helped with churches support of Boy Scouts & keeping their building in good shape, re-roofing, etc.I only hope that my future Hoyt Generations will carry the Christian Traditions, Heritage and Legacy with them, and to lead a good life and help others in need, giving their time and financial support, to be kind to others, as well as, Family and Friends, and have the Love of God. On the Genealogical Biblical side.

My Father, Paul M. Hoyt always believed that were descendants of the Egyptian pharoah's time and place, and it's hard to believe that he may have been correct, and I don't know why, except I know he was knowledgeable with the Biblical Genealogy and Geographic and a Mason as well. Since the y-DNA results show that our Simon Hoyt/e markers have come from the Middle East, and could be apart of Jewish origins (E3b). I am seeking more evidence, more research that may show that we might have been in on the Great Exodeus out of Egypt, 350 B.C., and coming into Cannan, then leaving, either by Roman slaves through Italy, France, and to Ireland, Wales, England, by 50 to 100 A.D.; or by moving through N. Africa and Spain-Portugal, then into Ireland, Wales & England, probably around 300-400 A.D.We have not been in the British Isles or Europe 10's of thousands of years, as the European, John Hoyt, from Germanic and Dutch ancestry shows from the results of his descendant's, y-DNA of (R1a-R1b).

 

 

So, we Hoyt's, could very well be, of the Moses - Direct Old Testament Descendant,

the very beginning of Judeo-Chritian roots, indeed!-jeh
