BOUTON BRIEFS.
Nathaniel, born 1695, son of John Bouton 2d. and his Hayes wife, and grandson of John'st. and Abigail (Marvin) Bouton, married Hannah, born Oct. 20, 1699, only daugh- ter, by his first wife, of John Betts (see page 228), son of Thomas'st. and Mary Betts. Nathaniel and Hannah Bouton resided outside the Norwalk limits, in that portion of north- west adjoining Norwalk which belonged to Stamford, and was a part of what was known as " Canaan parish ".
Joseph, son of Jachim and Mary Bouton and grandson of Joseph, Sr. and Mary (Gregory) Bouton married, Aug, 25, 1748, Susannah, born Aug. 28, 1732, daughter of Joshua and Elizabeth (Fitch) Raymond, and niece of Gov. Thomas Fitch. After the decease of Joshua Raymond, his widow, the mother of Mrs. Susannah Bouton, married Rev. Elisha Kent (see page 128). William, oldest child of Joseph and Susannah Bouton, married, at the age of twenty, Sarah, daughter of John and Elizabeth Benedict, and had, among a large number of children, Esther (an infant of less than three months when Nor- walk was burned), who married Nathaniel Benedict, and was the mother of S. Williston Benedict and grandmother of Louisa Benedict (Mrs. LeGrand Lockwood). John, brother of Esther Bouton (Mrs. Nathaniel Benedict), was one of the worthy and intellectual sons of Norwalk fifty years ago. He was called " Deacon John Bouton ", and was well known in what is now the city of South Norwalk. To himself and son, William S. Bouton,' Nor- walk is influence and annals-obligated. Nathaniel (D.D.), born June 22, 1799, the youngest son of William and Sarah (Benedict) Bouton and grandson of Joseph and Susannah (Ray- mond) Bouton, was a Yale (1821) graduate, and an able Divine of Concord, New Hamp- shire. He delivered the published interesting discourse at the two hundredth anniversary of the founding of Norwalk, and was one whose learning and virtues merit perpetual remembrance in his native town.
John and Nathaniel Bouton, of primal Norwalk Bouton stock, were among the Canaan parish pioneers of 1730-32, to whom descendants may unhesitatingly memory- refer. A hardy, honest folk made up the primitive constituency of that spine-advantaged township, and it is instructively suggestive to-day to visit the ancient hearthstone sites and thereat retrospect with reference to the safe principles, practices and foundation work of former times. The "Bouton path to the Meeting-House" is an old New Canaan desig- nation which, as indicative of an excellent element in the careful, conscientious and com- pensating training of early days, carries its own interpretation, and needs no verbal com- ment. Simple, and as some might suggest slow, but it was sure, satisfying and substance- full education.
: William Smith Bouton (son of Dea. John Bouton), married Dec. 4, 1837, Margaret F. Hudson of New Rochelle, N. Y., and was a Norwalk history .benefac- tor. His contribution under the description of Nor- |
walk, in Hurd's History of Fairfield County, is a clear statement of ancient facts. His two children were Emily Virginia (Mrs. Edward D. Taylor) and Julia Minor (Mrs. Jacob M. Sherwood).

HOME-LOT XXIX.
WALTER HOYT.
Simon Hoyt, born in England in 1595, and who, company-led by Gov. John En- dicott, embarked at the age of three-and-thirty, for America, reached his desired western haven Sept. 6, 1628. Two children had, up to this time, been born to him, Walter and Nicholas. Walter was an English boy of ten, and Nicholas of eight, when the family set foot on the New World soil. Their father, two years after arrival, is found in 1630 as a Dorchester, Mass., settler. He there remained a few years and thence departed to Scitu- ate, in the same colony. He here found his second wife, Susanna Smith, with whom, in April, 1635, he "joined the Church of that place". He then went to Windsor, where, in 1640, he had definite registration. The family had now increased to four children, all boys and all living : Walter, Nicholas, John and Moses. Walter was of age, and several Windsor land grants were made to him. He seems to have Windsor-remained thirteen years, and then, about 1653, aged thirty-five, came to Norwalk, his father having for a few years already resided in Fairfield.
The residence-center home-lots had, probably, been pretty well disposed of when Walter Hoyt appeared in Norwalk. His apportionment adjoined, on the west, that of John Bouton, and was near the shore terminus of the path from Fairfield. John, the oldest son, was about ten years old when he came with his father to Norwalk, and his brother Zerub- babel four or five, perhaps. The children between the two brothers were Elizabeth (Mrs. Samuel St. John) and Hannah (Mrs. Judah Gregory).
Walter, the Norwalk Hoyt father, was useful until the end of life. He made his will Feb. 11, 1695-6, "aged abt. 78", and did not long thereafter survive. John, his son, who married a step-daughter, Mary Lindall, of Nathaniel Richards (see page 121) re- moved to Danbury, leaving his only brother, Zerubbabel, sponsor for the Norwalk male portion of the family. The children of Zerubbabel were Abigail, born Feb. 2, 1675; Joseph, born 1676-78; Daniel, born Jan. 1, 168r; Hannah (Mrs. Joseph Whitney): Caleb; Rhoda (Mrs. John Keeler 2d.).
DESCENT OF AND FROM WALTER HOYT.
Walter Hoyt, the Norwalk settler, son of Simon Hoyt the progenitor, was some thirty-five years of age when he came to this town and planted his "coaste banke " home adjacent to the fathers' ferry to " the other side", now South Norwalk. Four children- John, about nine or ten, Elizabeth and Hannah, girls not far from five and seven, and Zerub- babel, a mere child-composed, with their parents, the Hoyt family circle when Norwalk was cradled. The quite young Zerubbabel'st. grew to man's estate and lived to be twice married, his second wife, Mehitable, the widow of John Keeler, and by whom he had no children, being, singular to say, the mother-in-law of his son Caleb and daughter Rhoda.

Sarah Pickettist. ( Mr. Joseph Howpiet.), born April 4. 1678, was the oldest daughter of Jamesist- and Rebecca (Keeler) Pickett. The parents of Mrs. Jo- seph Hoyti-t. were well known settlers. Jas. Pickettist. was baptized in Salem, Mass, in 1648, and married his wife ( Rebecca, daughter of Ralph Keeler. Sr., see page 120). July 17. 1673. James Pickettist. was the second child of John'st and Margaret Pickett, the New England Pickett settlers. This ancestor and ances. Tress were in Salem, Mass, in 1648, and removed to Stratford in 1650. John Pickert-1. was a public man.
Hle was a Constable in 1667. a Stratford Selectman in 1669 and a Colonial Representative from 1673 to 1675. After this honorable career this ancestor of so many of the Norwalk Hoyts died April 11, 1684. his wife having deceased the year before (Oct. 6, 1683). Jo- seph Hovtist. named his first son Zerubbabel, after his own father, and his next son James (who married Hannah Goold), after his wife's father, which appears to have been an ancient custom.
"James Hoytist. bought, early in life, one hund- red and twenty of the splendid Haynes Ridge acres.

FAMILY OF GOULDIst. AND ELIZABETH HOYT.
HOYT.
GooldIst., second son of James and Hannah (Goold) Hoyt, and the widely known Goold Hoyt1st. of Norwalk, was of the fifth (Walter, Zerubbabel, Joseph, James'st.) Nor- walk Hoyt generation. His great-great-great-grandfather was Simon Hoyt, the Ameri- can Hoyt father.1

" III .- Zerubbabel Hoyt.
" IV .- JosephIst. and Sarah (Pickett) Hoyt.

DIMON.
Gen. I .- Thomas Dimon.
" II .- Moses and Abigail (Ward) Dimon.
" III .- Moses and Jane (Pinckney) Dimon.
" IV .- Ebenezer and Mary (Burr) Dimon.
Moses Dimon1st., who early settled in Fairfield, seems to have been a son of Thos. Dimon, an old Pequonnock mariner. "God made the country", and Stratfield and Fair- field were notable portions of His handiwork. Natural beauty was the accident which led to their founding, for no sooner had Ludlow chased the red foe across their handsome levels, where the enemy was finally captured, than that he appropriated the spot to civil- ization and cultivation. The Dimons selected a lovely bit of this "fairefielde" - the precise site, in 1896, of the summer seat of Col. Wm. H. Stephenson-for a family home.
The purchase was made (see Norwalk Land Records of 1742) of David Waterbury, Jr., and the purchase price was the neat amount of £408. The portion of the Ridge bought at that time by Mr. Hoyt embraced the now choice site known as WSIGAUNONTA (sundown knoll), and the seat of the spacious mansion of L. P. Child, in New Canaan. The ancient name of that particular part of the property was "Platt's Farm". In 1757 Mr. Hoyt sold this, or much of it, to Capt. John Alexander of New York. On May 12, 1764, Capt. Alexander gave 13 poles of this land to " Church of England established in New Canaan", ("60 feet front east and west, 50 feet north and south "). Four days afterward (May 6, 1764), Capt. Alexander sold it all back (134 acres) to James Hoyt again. On July 18. 1764, Mr. Hoyt disposed of the same, minus a few acres (1258, IR. 3rds.) to Jonathan Husted, receiving for the territory £814.5s. On that day Mr. Hoyt do- nated to "the professors of the Church of England in Canaan Parish" the "Church yard " ( evidently burial ground) lying just north of the 1896 L. P.
Child residence. A clause in the "Church yard " deed (" whereon the frame for a Church now stands ") given by Mr. Hoyt on July 18, 1764, fixes the date of the erection of the first St. Mark's Church in New Canaan. Capt. Alexander had given the site on May 12, 1764, and between that date and July 18 following, the building had been " raised ".
1A Scituate, Mass., record thus reads : " goodman Haites (Simon Hoyt) house on Kent Street was built between Sept. 1634 and Oct. 1636, the house of the Smiths (Samuel, great - great - grandfather of Noah Smith of old Smith's Island, Norwalk) goodman Haits brothers was built in the same period."
The aged Matthias St. John, Sr., speaks at the close of life of " his dearly beloved brother and sister Hoyt" (Mr. and Mrs. Walter Hoyt, Sr.) The sec- ond wife of Walter Hovtist. seems to have been a widow Taylor, but his first wife (the mother proba- bly of his children) is as yet unknown. The wife of "his son Zerubbabel and parentage of Mrs. Jas. Hoytist. (Hannah Goold) are also yet to be documentary-found.

It was bought of John, son of Francis Purdy. Moses Dimon'st. married Abigail Ward, and had Moses2d., who married Jane Pinckney. These had a son Ebenezer, born March 18, 1704, who married Mary, baptized July 4, 1708, daughter of John and Deborah (Bar- low) Burr. John Burr was son of Nathaniel, who was son of Jehu Burr, the founder of the family. The Burr homestead stood in Stratfield (Bridgeport) on the east side of the pres- ent Fairfield Avenue, a trifle north of the crossing to-day of said Avenue by the Con- solidated road. It was a delightful site, and held the old " covenant oak", well remem- bered even by young people to-day, beneath which were signed the Indian contracts. The property in Fairfield had fallen to Ebenezer Dimontst., who had three sons, Ebenezer 2d., David and William, and four daughters, Abigail, Deborah, Sarah and Mary. The father made his will on May 5. 1746, and died twenty-three days afterward, somewhat before was born his fifth daughter, Elizabeth,' the future Mrs. Goold Hoyt,2 for whose expected arrival he made, as one of the last acts of his life, ample provision. From that fine Fair- field abode, her hand, who now sleeps close by the west door of St. Paul's Church, Nor- walk, was sought in matrimony by Goold Hoyt'st., whose sister Hannah,3 also of Norwalk, married Jonathan Bulkley, and was established, in much comfort, on the other side of the Fairfield " Green " from the Dimons, in what has since that time constituted the Glover Villa.
Goold Hoyt and Elizabeth Dimon were married in Fairfield, by Rev. Noah Hobart, V. D. M., on June 13, 1765, and had :
Thomas, born Feb. 26, 1767. Goold, born Nov. 16, 1769.
'Elizabeth's (Mrs. Gould Hoyt) brother David Dimon was the father of Ebenezer Dimon, High Sheriff. Her brother, William Dimon, who married Jan. 3, 1765, Esther, daughter of Solomon Sturges, was the grandfather of Mrs. Robinson and her sister Cor- delia ( Mrs. Franklin J. Mallory), and of their brothers Charles and Frederick Dimon, which two sisters and brothers were formerly residents of Norwalk.
2The Ward and Burr descent of Mrs. Goold Hoyt. Sr. needs no comment. Both are New England funda- mental family names, the ancient " driving power" of which in state, scientific and social directions was such as to render future family identity-loss a thing impos- sible. Andrew, founder of the Ward household, was one of the eight chosen (1636) Connecticut chief magis- trates, from which time on, until his decease in 1665, he was a conspicuous colonist ; while Jehu, the Burr forefather, headed a line of some of the most import- ant actors on the early New England stage. Mrs. Hoyt was a young bride when she first appeared in Norwalk, but that she graced and governed her home may well be believed from the children who issued from it.
3Hannah, daughter of James ist. and Hannah Hoyt,
and sister of Goold Hoyt Ist. married Jonathan Bulk- ley of Fairfield. Jonathan (son of Peter3rd. and Abi- gail) Bulkley, was a grandson of Peter2d. and Hannah (Whelpley) Bulkley. Peter Bulkley2d. married Han- nah, daughter of John and Sarah ( Whelpley ) Bulkley. John Bulkley, who married Sarah, daughter of Henry Whelpley, was a son of Thos.2d. and Sarah (Jones) Bulkley. Mrs. Thomas Bulkleyzd. was a daughter of Rev. John Jones, first pastor of Fairfield, and Thos. Bulkley2d. was a son of Rev. Thos. Bulkley ist., who came from England.
The Bulkley-Hoyt home (site to-day of the resi- dence of a nephew of the late Samuel Glover), stood on the east side of the Fairfield Green and faced said area. It was an historic house. Peter Bulkley3rd. kept it as a hotel, in which occupation he was followed by his son Jonathan, who married Hannah Hoyt. The Court there stopped, and the house was "kept" in fine style The negro quarters were outside the establish- ment, and the old Fairfield Masonic Lodge-room ran the entire length of the upper story of the east sec- tion of the building. Jonathan Bulkley seems to have been compelled to remain in Nova Scotia during the Revolution, but his wife did not leave her family.

Thomas, oldest son of Goold and Elizabeth Hoyt, married, Jan. 5, 1793, Eliza- beth Phillips of Dutchess County, N. Y., and had no issue. He built and resided in what was since the home of his brother-in-law, Henry Belden, and now the rectory of Grace Church, Norwalk. After the decease, in 1813, of Thomas Hoyt, Mrs. Eliza Selleck intended to purchase the property, but at the solicitation of Mrs. Henry Belden, relinquished the project, selecting for her residence instead, the John Belden homestead, a portion of which latter estate has been the donation of her daughter, Mrs. Maria Phillips James, to St. Paul's Church, Norwalk, and is the site, in 1896, of the Chapel of Our Holy Saviour. Mrs. Thomas Hoyt removed, after her husband's decease, to her native New York terri- tory, where she died.

She saved the place from Tryon's fagots (see note page 18r) but was ill treated. Her husband was away for twelve years. He returned but lived only a short time after his home coming.
IDeborah Ann, daughter of Henry I. Sheaffe and half sister of Mrs. Goold Hoyted., married, as his second wife, John Glover2d. (son of John GloverIst.). The Fairfield Glover hearthstone is the residence, in 1896, of Henry S., son of John 3d. and Helen (Le Roy) Glover. The first wife of John Gloverzd. was the mother of Martha Ann Glover, who married Dr. Jas. Davenport Fitch of New York. Dr. and Mrs. James D. Fitch had Martha Elizabeth and Annie. Annie married J.

The well recalled Mary C. J. S. Hoyt of Fairfield, whose interesting souvenir relics invite attention to- day, and to whom her New York Hammersley and Norwalk Hoyt and Belden connections were quite at- tentive, was the daughter of Monson and Lucretia (Hammersley) Hoyt of New York. Monson Hoyt, her father, was a cousin of Gooldist., Jesse and Isaac Hoyt. His widow resided in the fine place on Water Street, Bridgeport. Mary occupied the house with her mother, while her sister married into the old Shelton family of Bridgeport, the avenue premises of which household time has so softly dealt with that they forin a soothingly pleasing picture to-day. Miss
