Hi Sandra Osborne, I must be your cousin. My father, Frank Thomas Hoyt, is the younger
brother of your father, Edward Knowles Hoyt. I met your father once when I was very
young. Is your mother's name Mary? If so, I met her as well. He and came to
California to visit our family back in the 1960's. Your father's siblings were
Mary Lucille Hoyt Connell, who was married to Girtley Connell of Hueytown, Alabama. She
was followed by your father Edward Knowles Hoyt. Kenneth C. Hoyt was the next son, and
unfortunately I do not remember his wife's name. I believe my father, Frank Thomas
Hoyt, born on February 22, 1922 in Salem, Ohio, was the 4th child. He was married to my
mother, Betty Lou Cramer Hoyt - his second marriage. If my facts are correct, the
youngest brother and 5th child was named Jimmy, who to my understanding died at a young
age.
I would love to hear from you as we have no formal records of the Hoyt Family due to my
parents early deaths. Frank Thomas Hoyt died at age 46 on November 20, 1968. I only
recall being with our grandmother, Vesta, twice. I do not have any information about our
grandfather Frank Knowles Hoyt. I believe he passed away shortly before or after my
birth.
