Re: William Hoxie, son of Samson Hoxie

PattyConroy — 2009-10-15 06:18:33Z

I would like to update this record. Samson Hoxie was actually Lawson Hoxie. Lawson married Mary Jane Lovell in 1859 in Hastings County, Ontario. They lived in the Belleville area. They had at least one son named William who was born in 1863, served in the US Cavalry at Fort Walla Walla. William was a blacksmith, who moved to the Helena Montana area in 1888-9 where he married Mina Lundberg from Sweden. He appears to have left soon after his first child was born. I don't have any other information on him until July of 1922 when he travels across the border to Canada. In the Immigration document he says he lived in White Pigeon, Michigan. I would love to talk to anyone who may be a descendent of William or Lawson

Caryn-

These Hoxies are the last family to own the famous Hoxie House (17th century) on Shawme Pond in Sandwich Center.

Abraham Hoxie and the Pinkhams of Nantucket are somehow connected. The present day Cunninghams (of whom there are many) live largely in and around the Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts area. Indeed John Franklin Cunningham the fouth is in Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts.

You will find the this line thoroughly researched in THE PERRY GENEALOGY available from the Bourne Historical Society in Bourne, Massachusetts.

Hope this is helpful.

ROBERT and ISABEL(PINKHAM) HOXIE

earlesgirl — 2009-07-26 16:07:44Z

I started researching a relative that married Arthur S Hoxie born 02Apr1873 Sandwich, Barnstable Co, MA.
I have found some info for Arthur's parents(Robert and Isabel) but cannot find what happend to Constantia (Birch) Huddlestone that married Arthur in 1917 Michigan.
I found Constantia listed in a city director as widow of Arthur,still living in Michigan.
Does anyone have any information to fill in the blanks from 1917 to now? Did Arthur and Constantia have any children? When did Constantia and Arthur die? It seems likely it was in MIchigan-would like to confirm.
Where are they buried??
Anyone connected or having info to share...please contact me.
Thanx,
Nannette

Any living relatives/desendants of Paul Preston Hoxie and Nora

jamminman50 — 2009-07-14 01:43:46Z

Rather than going too deep with family lines, I am inquiring of any relative of mine from the Paul Preston Hoxie and Nora(h) [Washburn] Hoxie family line. Paul is the son of Allen and Gulielma Preston Hoxie (she is misnomered in a few publications as 'Julie', but is really Gulie!) Paul married Nora Washburn and had five children...Allan [skipper of the Milwaukee Clipper], Dae (a V/P at Kirsch, Inc. in Sturgis, MI), Gulielma [my grandmother Miller] and Mae C. (who married a Robert Payne, a very distinguished accountant for the Scudder firm)...with the passing of a number of my relatives, I have had no contact with anyone from the Hoxie line...in fact, my family has not one picture we can get our hands on of Paul/Nora or the family as a whole.
Normally, in the past, I as many of you have asked to 'go backwards' to find more of our roots...but here I am just trying to get a handle on a relativly recent piece of my family history. If you are a niece/nephew or grandchild of any of the above named Hoxie's, or even an offshoot thereof, please contact me with any information you might have on this branch of the Hoxie family, it would help our family immensley. Thank you for listening and I hope you can help. JAM/a fellow Hoxie

Re: "The Hoxie Family, Three Centuries in America"

EliGoldsmith — 2009-06-01 20:57:43Z

I am quite certain this is the book I read (my mother's) when I was a child (late 50s). It began with Ludwig (Lodowick) in Sandwich MA in I believe 1643.

The story is that Lodowick was a sash-maker and he took the contract to make the doors and windows for the Quaker meeting house and was arrested, because at that time - mid 1600s (at least in that locale) it was illegal to associate with Quakers - although they were tolerated. He spent a week in the hoosegow and was fined L4. When he was set free he joined the Quaker church - which is how the Hoxies became Quakers. I read a different story somewhere on here but along similar lines.

However, if he was living in Holland (from whence he sailed) the Hoxies may have been Quakers before coming to America; or perhaps Dissenters/Separatists -
so-called "Pilgrims" - as they went to live in Holland to escape persecution. Just an idea....

If we all descended from this one person, somebody(s) must have had a large family of sons in at least ONE generation as there seems to be a lot of us descended from Lodowick.

Anybody have any ideas about any of this?

PS: My Great-grandfather was C.D. Hoxie of Concord, MI who was descended from Ludwig (as he is called in our family)

Re: Captain Hoxie, b abt. 1840 (m) Zelia Ingersoll?

EliGoldsmith — 2009-06-01 20:21:48Z

The only "Captain" Hoxie I know of was John Hoxie, a Texas Ranger probably born about this time. (??) Captain is a rank in the Texas Rangers. Family history says he went to Nome, Alaska (from Texas?) during the Yukon gold rush and owned a saloon with Wyatt Earp (1898?)

My mother (Doris Pomeroy - mother was Florida Hoxie whose father was C.D. Hoxie of Concord, MI) said he was her Great-uncle. I also think he was the one that she said called all of his dogs "Captain"; maybe because of his being a Ranger??

His being a Ranger was documented in a book I read as a cchild about the Hoxies. It was a family tree in book form. It started with Ludwig Hoxie in Sandwich, MA in 1643. Ludwig came from Holland, but I think he sailed from tthere and was English or scottish living there (a Separatist/Pligrim) or that was taken from a ships log. Sometimes ships sailed from England and stopped in Holland before crossing the Atlantic (for provisions, trade goods, passengers??).

I read a blog here that said the name came from Hawk's eye (eye pronounced long E; means island in ancient celtic, like Chelsea meaning Chells eye - SEE: the novel "London" by Edward Rutherford).

Hope this helps.

Hoxie family in New York

mkmccoy75 — 2009-05-04 02:46:28Z

Gideon and Henrietta Lacey Hoxie had at least four daughters, and possibly a fifth daughter. The daughters were Angeline (b. 1839), Sally Ann (b. 1834), Martha M. (b. 1843), and Abbie (b. 1848). The possible fifth daughter was Henrietta (b. 1825). Angeline Hoxie married Ambrose Jordan Peaster. We refer to Angeline as Annie. She is my gg-grandmother. I am trying to locate information about her sisters. One of them married a Culver and they had a son named Elias, b. 1864. Do you have information regarding the Hoxie or Culver family?

NativeWoman702 — 2009-04-26 17:08:17Z

WILLIAM HOXIE William L. "Bill" Hoxie passed away April 24, 2009, at the Nevada State Veterans Home in Boulder City. He was born Feb. 23, 1920, in Weldona, Colo. He was 89 years old. Bill was predeceased by his wife, of 67 years, Elsie Hoxie, who passed June 2, 2007. He is survived by his two children, Judy Craven (Wes) of Boulder City, and Robert Hoxie (Delfina) of Albany, Ore.; grandchildren, Stephen Hoxie of Palmdale, Calif., Samantha Hoxie of Corvalis, Ore., and Heather Doan of Simi Valley, Calif.; and great-grandchildren, Brandon Doan of Thousand Oaks, Calif., Haleigh Hoxie of Palmdale, Calif., and Courtney Schulte of Los Angeles. Bill's parents were William and Maude (Mitchell) Hoxie, and he was raised and settled in Arvada, Colo. He married his wife, Elsie, Nov. 9, 1940, in Castle Rock, Colo. Bill was drafted into service with the U.S. Army Jan. 5, 1941, and was sent to the Asiatic Pacific Theater, returning back to the States May 1944, with the rank of first sergeant. He received medals from the Asiatic Pacific Campaign, American Defense Service and Good Conduct. Upon returning, the family stayed in California a short while, moved back to Colorado, and then eventually settled in San Fernando Valley, Calif. Bill worked for Sierra Distributing Company for 25 years. His hobbies were riding his Harley and Gold Wing motorcycles, riding his dune buggy in the desert and playing cards. He and his wife moved to Boulder City in 2001 to be near their daughter, Judy. He attended Grace Community Church in Boulder City and was a member there. After Elsie passed away, he went to live at the Nevada State Veterans Home until his death. Funeral arrangements are pending and will be just a family affair at graveside at the Boulder City Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that a donation be made to the Nevada State Veterans Home, 100 Veterans Memorial Drive, Boulder City, NV 89005, or to Grace Community Church, 1150 Wyoming St., Boulder City, NV 89005.

Inscriptions in two cemeteries

MichaelAllen1940 — 2009-01-14 03:27:51Z

My granduncle Charles DeForest Hoxie died in 1907, place unknown. Inscriptions of his death appear in two cemeteries, Dale Cemetery, Ossining, NY with is wife Annie Florence Gorton who died in 1952, and Union Cemetery, Edmeston, NY with family members. Inscriptions on the family monument include his brother Robert Franklin Hoxie, who died in 1916 in Chicago and his parents Solomon and Lucy Hoxie and sister Jane, who died in Edmeston in 1917, 1928 and 1930, respectively. Is it common practice to inscribe the death of a family member on the family monument when they were buried elsewhere? If so Robert could be buried in Chicago. How can I find out where he's buried?

Thank you for the information. I do know that one of the daughters married someone with the surname Culver. Their son is living with Gideon and Henrietta in a later census. I would love to have help in locating more information. Thank you.

Sorry to be so tardy getting back to you.
The Leslie Hoxie book is still available. One source is Quintin Publishing: http://www.quintinpublications.com/mm5m/merchant.mvc?Store_c...

Your Gideon (number 229) is in the book, page 99, as is H. Lacey and their four daughters are named. Other than that, there's not much info.

I'll see if I have some more info on the daughters.

Re: Lodowick and Mary Presbury Hoxie

mkmccoy75 — 2008-07-11 20:50:42Z

I have been told this book is no longer available. My ancestor, Gideon Hoxie who married Henrietta Lacey, is not included in the book. I understand Gideon and his family settled in Stephentown, NY. I would like to know who his daughters married, besides my gggrandmother, Angeline Hoxie Peaster. I have a photo album which may have belonged to the Peaster family and perhaps some of the photos are of the Hoxie family.

Re: Lodowick and Mary Presbury Hoxie

abh124 — 2008-07-11 04:42:13Z

There's a well done book by Leslie Hoxie, "The Hoxie Family; Three Centuries In America" It all started with Lodowick. Considering the extent of info aavailable, your question is pretty wide. If you can't locate the book, is there a specific question I can help with?

Wilbur T. Hoxie

2006-01-22 22:25:34Z

Yes, I am related to Wilbur T.Hoxie. My father, Wilbur J. Hoxie was, I believe, named after him. My gr. gr. grandfather was Silas P. Hoxie, brother or Isaac Hoxie. Isaac is, of course, Wilbur T. Hoxie's father. I have a picture of my father as a young man standing next to Wilbur T. Hoxies' grave marker. Ironically my father died in an automobile accident in his 30s and Wilbur T. also died young. How wonderful to hear from you. Any information you have about Wilbur T. or Flora would be greatly appreciated. Of course, I am most happy to help you with any information you would like.
