* SIMON HOYTE's - FIRST MARRIAGE - CORRECTION

Note#1 -Bush found a marriage record at Marshwood, Dorset, of Simon Hoyt and Jane "Stoodlie" in 1617. Marshwood is not so far from West Hatch (about 10 miles) to negate the possibility that this couple had Walter and Nicholas, but Simon was otherwise in West Hatch. Marshwood records reveal only that there were Stoodley (variously spelled) baptisms in the early 17th century, indicating that Jane's family probably was established in the area when she was married. (14) John Stoodley was among the free tenants of Marshwood manor in 1626-41 and Walter Stoodleigh was a member of the homage jury for Whitchurch Hundred, near Marshwood, in 1626. Given the appearance of Walter among Simon's children, perhaps Walter Stoodleigh was Jane's father or brother.

MARRIAGE: Married: 4 NOV 1617 in Marshwood (Bridport), Dorset, England 15
Married: BEF. 1618 in Marshwood, Dorset Co., England

MARRIAGE: Fritz Knapp, Descendants of Simon Hoyt:
Simon is also said to have had a first wife, Deborah Stowers, daughter of Walter Stowers. This has been proven to be in error and the first wife of Simon Hoyt is now proven to be "Jane Stoodlie ". [Hoyt's Issue, Spring 1997, :1358]. [see GMB, II:1032 for explanation
pertaining to second wife's maiden name, which is not "Smith".] Her maiden name remains undiscovered. The reference in early records to "the Smith" was reference to the village "Blacksmith" not to the maiden name of 2d wife, Susanna(h).

MARRIAGE: Early writings claim Ruth and Deborah as being children of Simon Hoyt. Without the Upwey dates previously claimed and found in error, there is no evidence to conclude that they were daughters of Simon Hoyt.

Walter Palmer became very prominent in the affairs of Charlestown, holding public office and is listed among the first group of men who took the Oath of Freemen on May 18, 1631. The original list included, "Mr. Roger Conant, John Balche, Ralfe Sprage, Simon Hoyte, Rick: Sprage, Walt (Walter) Palmer, Abraham Palmer, Mr Rich: Saltonstall, Rich: Stower, Czekiell Richardson, Wm Cheesebrough. Walter was married for a second time to Rebecca Short of Roxbury on June 1, 1633. They were married in Roxbury Church, of which she was a member and Rev. John Eliot its Minister. She was one of the first members of his church upon her arrival in America in 1632. Roxbury was generally settled by the people from Essex and Hertfordshire under the leadership of the Rev. John Eliot who had been the Vicar of Nazeing. Reverend Eliot's records of the Roxbury First Church state: "Rebeckah Short, a maide srvant, she came in the yeare 1632 and was married to Walter Palmer a Godly man of Charlestown Church." Rebecca was to give birth to seven additional children giving Walter a total of twelve.

LYON'S WHELPS IN THE HIGGINSON FLEET (lists Hoyt, Simon)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyon%27s_Whelp


The Lion's Whelp of 1628 was built at the Duke of Buckingham's expense by William Castell of St. Saviour's, Southwark in 1628 and was used to prey on French shipping (with the proceeds going to the Duke's war-chest) before joining the rest of the English fleet for the final attempt to relieve the siege of La Rochelle. She was taken into the Royal Navy after the Duke was assassinated and in 1632 the Crown reimbursed his estate.

Lion's Whelp was a three-masted pinnace of about 140 tons, having one gun deck with a grating or flying deck over the waist and eight broadside gun ports. She was equipped with sweeps (3-man oars, like a galley) and was part of a line of auxiliary-oared warships running from Henry VIII's time to the "Galley Frigates" of Charles II's reign.

 

Mary Hoyt, Simon's Daughter, married Luke Hill.

A PART 1 SERIES OF 3 FILMS ON OVANDO, MT

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw00HHY8x_I

 

Sheri Ritchlin's Email to John E. Hoyt (Author) on 01-23-2017

OVANDO, MT

Dear John,
I hope this reaches you from snowy Ovando, Montana--town of 50, founded by Ovando Hoyt! In my opinion, the greatest little town in the world (and I have lived in many places in this country and abroad.) In fact, I have enjoyed living in the town so much that I wanted to give something back. I am the town's recluse writer, living above the Stray Bullet Cafe, so I am not as active in community events as I should be. My give-back is a gift to our wonderful museum and historical society. I am only an amateur videographer but I've taken on a History of Ovando in 3-parts. Part 1 is "Simon Hoyt's Legacy." You can imagine that your Simon Hoyt website was invaluable to this project. I think you will enjoy it.
I would love it if you could share this video link on your website and with any Hoyt family descendants. You could also send me a list and I would email them with this as well. As you know, Ovando was the son of Azor and Minerva Hoyt. He was quite a remarkable fellow, as you will see in the video. Minerva is buried right here in Ovando!

Please encourage "Simon's Family" to pay a visit to this great place. They would be welcomed by everyone in our friendly little town: Our Blackfoot Mercantile and Commercial Company and Inn (lovely rooms available: http://www.ovandoinn.com/), Stray Bullet Cafe (breakfast and lunch), the Blackfoot Angler (except in winter), the Brand Bar Museum and Trixi's Antler Saloon. We have a splendid school--K-8--about ten children. Ovando lies in the Blackfoot Valley at the edge of the million acre Bob Marshall Wilderness. Anywhere you go from here is beautiful and there are plenty of good fishing places. Folks at the Blackfoot Angler can help you. Check in with Fred or Leigh Ann at the store and make yourselves known!

Here is the YouTube link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fw00HHY8x_I
If you search the site on Google, please make sure that it is the version with the ".rv" after it. I have copied this email to Terry Sheppard who is the Historical Society person to contact in the town. I'm sure that she would like to hear from you.

My best regards to you and your family and gratitude from all of us for your terrific website.

History


Charlestown began as an independent community, founded by English colonists before they established Boston across the harbor on the Shawmut Peninsula. Severely damaged by fire following the Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775, the once thriving colonial town was rebuilt after the Revolution and became the center of transportation and maritime industry in the 19th century. Annexed to Boston in 1874, Charlestown today is noted for its exceptionally rich collection of historic houses and industrial buildings.
The Beginning of the Bay Colony

As the Massachusetts Bay Company prepared for its massive migration to New England, it dispatched engineer Thomas Graves* from England in 1629 to lay out a town for the settlers. Graves* was attracted by the narrow Mishawum Peninsula between the Charles and Mystic rivers, linked to the mainland at the present Sullivan Square. The area of earliest settlement, at Town Hill (now called City Square), still retains the elliptical street pattern that Thomas Graves* laid out.

George Bower was listed as a freeman, 1636/7. By 1636 he was the owner of the sixteenth house built by “Goodman” Haite (probably Simeon Hoyt). Bower may have relocated to Plymouth by 1639 as he was granted land there by Gov. Winslow (PCLR 1:52). John Lothropp styled him as “’Mr.”
