http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~legends/stoodley.html      Americans descended from Simon Hoyt, born 20 January 1590, Somerset, England, who came to America in 1628 and lived at Dorchester, Scituate and Charlestown, Massachusetts, and at Windsor and Stamford, Connecticut, will be interested to know that recent research has conclusively identified his first wife as Jane Stoodlie, whom he married before 1617 in Marshwood, Dorset, England. 
        Although Jane's connection to the Stoodleys of Hawkchurch, Dorset, is unknown, Marshwood is but walking distance from Hawkchurch, so she was undoubtedly related to them. 
        Jane was the grandmother of Zerubbabel Hoyt of Norwalk, Fairfield Co., Connecticut, who married an unknown woman and Mehitable Rockwell; their descendants populated much of Connecticut, New York, and Long Island.
