* " Died at Windsor, on the 10th inst., after a short and painful illnes , JAMES HOOKER, Esq., in the 64th year of his age. He was a man whom nature had endowed with brilliant talents. He was easy and sociable in his manners ; polite without affectation ; the friend and benefactor of the poor, and ready at all times to plead the cause of the oppressed, and to redress the wrongs of the widow and fatherless. Noble and generous in his disposition, he disdained whatever favored of contracted parsimony. He was a firm and liberal supporter of religious institutions, and of whatever was conducive of public utility. To these he devoied much of his time without pecuniary reward, and cheerfully aided them by liberal donations. In his family he was an affectionate husband, and a kind and tender parent; and in all his profes- sions a sincere friend, In his death the public are deprived of a great benefactor, the rich and poor mourn, but, to his afflicted widow and eight children the loss is irreparable."-Conn Courant, Dec. 18, 1805.

HOYT - HUBBARD.


jr.) NATHANIEL, m. Sarah H. Blackmer of Springfield, Sept. 24, 1835. WIL- LIAM, m. Abigail Drake, Nov. 15, 1829.


HOYT (Hoit, Hoyte, Hoite) SIMON, the first of the name in New England. His name occurs in Drake's Hist. of Boston (p. 57) among those " known to have been in Salem, and about the north side of Mass. Bay, before and in the year 1629." He was among the first Mass, freemen, made so May 18, 1631 ; and is mentioned at Dorchester in 1633. According to the Hist. of Dorchester, was probably there as early as 1630. In 1633, owned planting land and house lot at Scituate ; 1635, he and his wife joined the Church at S. ; before 1636, had sold his house and lot to Mr. Bower, and all traces of him are lost. Probably went to Windsor in the first, or one of the first com- panies ; although Hinman puts him down as one of the party who came to W. in 1639 with Rev. Mr. Huit .* At the Particular Court, May 7, 1640, "Simon Hoyette and his family are to be freed fro' watch and ward until there be further order taken by the Courte." He had four score acres of land, granted by the Plantation, Feb. 28, 1640. The Old Ch. Rec. gives two child- ren to him. His son, Benjamin, at W., Feb. 2, 1644. He (Simon) had a house lot granted to him, by Fairfield, of 22 acres, in March., 1649, and pur- chased other lots there in 1649. There may have been a Simon, and some of the foregoing records may possibly relate to him; but it seems probable that all the earlier records must refer to one individual.


NICHOLAS, of W. (perhaps son of Simon) m. Susanna Joyse, June 2 (on Old Ch. Rec. July 12), 1646 ; he d. July 4, 1655 (she had a dau., Abigail, by her first husband, b. 1645). Nicholas' estate amounted to £148 10s ld; in- ventory, dated Jnly 30, 1655. His son Samuel sold his father's residence and land to Samnel Gibbs of W., Nov. 16, 1668. Children-Samuel, b. May 1, 1647; Jonathan, b. June 7, 1649 ; David, b. April 22, 1651; Daniel, b. April 10, 1653 ; d. Jnly 15.


WALTER, of W. (perhaps son of Simon), 1640, had 3 children; one of whom, John, was b. July 13, 1644 ; went to Fairfield Co .; was an early set- tler at Norwalk, Ct. ; he was fence viewer in 1655 ; deputy to court in 1658-9 and '61 ; confirmed as sergeant of Norwalk Company, by the conrt, May, 1659 ; deputy again in 1667; chosen to beat the drum, 1670 ; a proprietor of of N. in 1685 ; confirmed by general conrt.


THOMAS, of W., settled at Stamford, 1662.


HUBBARD, Lieut. JOHN (son of Samuel of Hartford), b. about 1691 ; and about 1721, settled on the east side of the Talcott Monntains, in the town of Simsbury (in the part annexed to Bloomfield in 1843), and removed to W., now Bloomfield, in or about the year 1740; the dwelling which he occupied is now standing, and has remained in the possession of his descendants to the present day ; he d. Feb. 14, 1775, in 84th yr. ; his wife Agnes, d. April 11, 1773, in 85th yr. Children-John, jr .; Nathaniel,2 b. 1724 ; and 5 daus.


JOHN, Jr.,1 had Hannah, b. Nov. 16, 1746; John, b. Dec. 28, 1748 ; Timothy, b. Dec. 5, 1750.

"Mr. Huit d. March 8, 1660 ; buried the 9th day, having lived 21 years in this land." This is very plain in the Record, Mr. ; the Old Ch. Rec., how- ever, does not mention any such death in 1660, but mentions Mrs. Huit's deatlı in 1661 ; probably the wid. of Rev. Ephraim, and the date, probably, should read March, 1660-1.
