Biography
Capt. Hoyt was one of those from Stratham who petitioned in 1739 to be annexed to Massachusetts. He received a deed of one-half of his father's dwelling house in 1741, and the remainder was bequeathed him in his father's will; he was one of the proprietors of Sanbornton, N. H., and in 1770 we find him petitioning the General Court in their behalf. One or two of his sons settled in that town. He seems to have been a man of considerable wealth and influence in Stratham, and that town sent him as a delegate to the first Provincial Congress, which met in Exeter in April, 1775. His will, dated June 10, 1789, was proved in Aug., 1789. (From Hoyt Family.)
