Surname Saturday ~ HOYLE of Marblehead, Massachusetts


HOYLE / HOILE

The first mention of my 9th great grandfather, John Hoyle, is his children’s births in the Marblehead, Massachusetts Vital Records.  In 1674 the town of Marblehead listed the names of the heads of the 114 households, with their commonage, and we can see the name of John Hoyle. He left no other records, not even a deed, but John Hoyle left a will dated 1705.  He has two files in the Essex County Probate files because one file lists him as testate (file 14129) under the name of HOYLE, and another lists him as intestate (14097) under the name of HOYT.

My 8th great grandfather was Samuel Hoyle (1677 – 1710), who married Mary Fortune and had five children. After his death, his wife remarried to John Morris.  He left no deeds or probate, and I don’t even know his profession.   His daughter, Mary (baptized in 1702/3) married Peter Homan, a Marblehead fisherman, in 1723.
