Individual Details
Samantha Hoyt
(15 Dec 1805 - 20 Dec 1875)
Application for membership to the Sons of the Revlation by Melvin Arthur Bresee I and Phineas Johnson Bresee show that Samantha was the daughter of Joseph Bouton Hoyt and Thankful Benedict, both of New Canaan, CT. Samantha Hoyt's parent's are not fully documented. Also see "Genealogical History of the Hoyt, Haight, and Hight families" by David W Hoyt dated 1871, page 441, which shows Joseph B. Hoyt married to Thankful Benedict on 8 Feb 1800 and lived in New Canaan, CT, with no children listed but a statement they had children.
See "Genealogy of the Hibbard Family Who are Descendants of Robert Hibbard of Salem, MA" by Augustine George Hibbard page 224 as to marriage and children of Samantha. It does not show her parents.

1829 marriage date from "Phineas F. Bresee, His Life in Methodism, the Holiness Movement, and the Church of the Nazarene" by Carl Bangs, page 40. Marriage date is also shown in the Melvin A. Bresee application for Sons of the Revolution. IGI has marriage location as Fairfield Co., CT, her family's home area. Marriage date and names are from the Hebbard genealogy by Harry T. Hebbard dated 25 Aug. 1954. Ancestry.com also has marriage date but the location is Davenport, NY (?).By 1829 Horace's father was dead and his mother had moved to New York City from Carmel, NY. The 1830 census for Samantha Hoyt's family shows them in New Canaan, Fairfield, CT. The question is where did Horace and Samantha get married? Are Samantha's parents correct? It appears that Samantha was living in New Canaan with her parents and what would bring Horace down to New Canaan?
