Simon HOYT ¹

  Events in his life were:

• Arrival: "landed in Salem in 1628 or 1629, perhaps by the Abigail or the George". ³

• In 1629 he lived in Charlestown, Massachusetts, USA. ³

• In 1633 he lived in Dorchester, Massechutsetts. ³

• On 19 Apr 1635 he lived in Scituate, Mass. ³ "From Dorchester he undoubtedly removed to Scituate, Mass., probably early in April, 1635, as "Symeon Hayte" and his wife joined the Scituate church April 19, 1635, and "Goodman Haites" house was built in that town between Sep., 1634, and Oct., 1636."

• In 1640 he lived in Windsor, Connecticut, USA. ⁴ "The earliest mention of his name that we have found on the Windsor records is the following entry on the first book of land records:-
'Feb. 28, 1640 Symon Hoyt hath granted fron the Plantation, for meadow and upland, adjoyning fourscore acres, more or les, bounded west by Wm.Hill, fro the River back on hundred and twenty rodd to the west, uppon the south it bounds fro wm. Hills lott along by the Riulett untill it coms to Mathias Sentions meadow & then it turns about uppon the east and bounds by the said meadow in a streight lyne fro the river six rodd and then it turns agayne upon the south behind the end of Mathias Sention & Bagget Egglestons meadow, untill it coms to Elias Parkemans, and the Town Swampe and Elias Parkeman's meadow bounds it east, untill yt com to the foote of the hill in a streight lyne and fro thence yt turns & bounds upon the north untill yt coms to the utmost end of will Hills lott. Also on the north side of the rivulett four score acres,thirty of which is given his son Walter Hoyt fro the Towne, yt lyes neere the falls in the rivulett; it is in length fro the river back a hundred and twenty rodd, in breadth a hundred twenty six rodd, bounded every way by the Comon."

• He owned Hoyts Meadow, Windsor, Connecticut about 1640 in Windsor, Connecticut, USA. ⁴ "...the land of Simon Hoyt lay on the east side of the rivulet, away from the other settlers; and this is probably the reason that he and his family were "freed from watch and ward" [Watch and ward refer to guard duty, the former at night and the latter in the day time] in 1640, they having enough to do to protect themselves from Indians, without traveling a long distance to guard those who lived in the village. The name Hoyt's Meadow seems to have been then applied to this portion of Windsor, and that name is still retained."

Simon married Unknown.
