    Notes:

    "Genealogy of the Hoyt Families": Benjamin was about 11 yrs. old when Deerfield was attacked. Tradition says that, hearing the screams in the night, his fright led him to jump from a window and hide in a corn-bin, where he lay till morning. Then, finding all gone but the slain, he wished he had been taken, with the others. Some accounts say that he removed with his mother, after her return, to Wallingford, CT. Others state that he went to Norwalk, Ct., and remained there for some time with his father's relatives. Perhaps he may have been in both places. Afterwards, he with 20 or 30 others commenced a settlement at Ridgefield, 12 miles north of norwalk, where he afterwards resided. His descendants say that he gave his coat and hat towards his part of the pay in purchasing the land of the Indians.

    Name:
    Excerpt from e-mail from Donna McCool dtd 06-23-2012: Sarah Hoyt Nims' younger brother Benjamin was born Sept. 15, 1691 to Deacon David Hoyt and his third wife, Abigail Cook. According to family tradition, when the attack on Derfield began, Benjamin hid in a corn crib or, by some accounts a grain bin, and thus avoided being captured. He settled in Ridgefield, CT and died before 1773.

    Benjamin married Sarah ? on 21 Mar 1716. Sarah died on 09 Feb 1759. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
