July 16, 1678[S]; a soldier sent from S. to Wells, Dec., 1696. [ref 36:207] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SERGEANT ISRAEL3 HOYT (Thomas2, John1) was born in Salisbury July 16, 1678. When a young man of eighteen he journeyed to the eastward as a soldier in an expedition to defend the exposed settlements of Maine from Indian attack. Capt. Henry True's diary states that "Samuel Norton, John Greley, Israell Hoyt & Nathll Osgood were detached the 26th day of December 1696, & sent to Wells to Capt. Brackett according to ye Lieut. governor's order Dec. ye 31st 1696 under the conduct of Mr. Isaac Morrell." It is probable that this expedition resulted in the migration of the soldier and his two elder brothers from Amesbury to Maine. Israel Hoyt married Grace Taprill, daughter of Robert and Abishag (Walton) Taprill of Newcastle. Although there is no direct record of this marriage, several circumstances and particularly a marked similarity of peculiar family names place it beyond reasonable doubt. The presence in the same locality, at the proper interval of time, of a mother named Abishag with a daughter named Grace, and a mother named Grace with a daughter named Abishag, seems conclusive. From several references in the court records it is evident that Israel Hoyt and his family lived in the Bloody Point section of Dover which afterward became Newington. In 1710 it is recorded that his brother William, as constable, arrested the widow of Ralph Hall and delivered her to John Knight and Israel Hoit for safe-keeping, and that she escaped from them. Again, in 1712, John Rawlins, having paid all of his province rate to Constable Willam Hoyt, except four shillings gs, left this sum at his request at the house of Israel Hoyt. Thereafter Anthony Nutter "was going with Will Hoit constable of Dover along the highway and sd hoit called at his brother Ezarell hoits for sum mony sd to be left there by John Rawlins. Ezarall(s) wiff brought out fouer shillings , prayed him to take it he sd he would not neless (unless) he had six panc mor about a pot of flip." This contention apparently became physical, for a warrant was issued for the arrest of the constable on complaint of Rawlins for beating him, and Israel Hoyt was summonsed as a witness. He was a member of a scouting party in 1712, and was a sergeant in Capt. Hill's company, serving seventeen weeks and four days, for which he received �5:8:4. On August 17 and October 15, 1713, two warrants were issued against Israel Hoyt "for setting up a house upon the Queen's highway leading from Bloody Point to Welchman's Cove." The return on the first warrant was non est inventus. To the second no return was made. This last failure of record may indicate the date of Israel Hoyt's death. His wife, Grace Hoite, owned the covenant of the Newington church and had her children baptized on June 14, 1719. Children: Dorothy, Israel, John, Abishag, Frances.
