Scope and Content:

The Hoit (Hoyt) Family Papers consist of 59 paper materials arranged into six folders including: Captain Moses Hoit papers, an 1804 oration, Moses French Hoit correspondence, family legal papers, family history, and Charles W. Hoitt papers. \n \n The Captain Moses Hoit papers contain papers from 1812 to 1852, concerning his service and pension from the War of 1812. This includes correspondence and papers that relate to his appointment to the position of Captain, resignation, doctors’ certificate of ill health, affidavits, petitions and correspondence regarding pension, and a survey of Rogers Farm. The Oration from July 4, 1804 was delivered by Captain Moses Hoit in defense of President Jefferson and was delivered in Salisbury, MA.\n \n The Moses French Hoit correspondence contains letters from 1833 to 1845, between Moses and his brother Isaiah D. Hoit in Livingston, AL; letters from his brother-in-law Albert R. Hatch; a letter from Moses to his wife Marianna Hatch; a letter to Moses’ sister Lydia N. Hoit; and a letter from C.W. Hoit. Letters include personal matters, estate information, politics, legal inquiries, reports, purchases, and payments.\n \n The family legal papers contain materials from 1797-1839. This includes the John Hoit's real estate, a land deed regarding Sarah Palmer, sale of land from the estate of Daniel Hoitt, land line problems, Samuel Marshall being appointed as Justice of Peace for Moses Hoit, a petition to have Gorham Hoitt be sheriff, and the receipt for the Astor House. \n \n Family history contains materials tracking a child who was given away in the Hoyt family, and the lack of care her father provided. This is likely regarding Deliverance Graves Hoyt (1787-) who was the child of Jonathan Hoyt ( -1806) and Elizabeth Hoyt ( -1790). This might have been decided by Phebe Hoyt who married Jonathan Hoyt some time after Elizabeth passed away. The Family History also contains an autographs book belonging to Lennie Lizzie Hoit. \n \n The Charles W. Hoitt papers from 1877 to 1912, contain his appointments to being a member of the Board of World’s Fair managers, Justice of Peace, Justice of Police Court, and Notary Public, as well as a letter notifying his election as State Senator.
