Individual Details

In the Equity Case, 14-303, of William & Nancy Porter vs. the Heirs of William Haden, dec'd, the complainants asked that each of the heirs respond with a statement of the value of all advancements they had received from William Haden in his lifetime. The only response is the following:
William Hoy & Aurora Proctor Hoy did make a answer to the above suit on 5 May 1824, stating that they would agree to bring in all advancements made to her mother, Sally Haden Proctor or to her husband Thomas during the eight years after their marriage. [Presumbably Sally & Thomas were married for eight years before she died.] Aurora did state that she was entitled to one-third of her mother's share, but did not mention her sisters in this document. They stated her parents had received about $300 in gifts of money, a colt, and a woman's saddle. The three heirs of Sally had received three slaves in the division which William Hoy now had on hire from Thomas Proctor. They were also to have received some money from other heirs, but had not. Hoy swore on his oath before Cardwell Breathitt, JP, on 4 May 1824.

1841 Census. Madison Co MS
Ellen Comfort - 5 males, 3 females, 1 voter [but looks rubbed out?]
William Hoy - 4 males, 5 females, 1 voter
Ellen and William's wife were first cousins.

The 1850 census, after William's death, shows young William as born in Kentucky circa 1829. I didn't find them in the Mississippi census in 1830. The 1860 census shows Phillip as born about 1832/33 in Mississippi, so the family moved between 1830-1832.
