Hello Norm, >I recall a wealthy family living in Darien, CT (as I did) named John Sherman >Hoyt. This was in the 1920's / 1930's. I think they lived on Contentment >Island. Darien adjoins, and was once part of, Stamford. I've seen your >various posts several times so I suppose you know all about this. >I once lived (1955-1964) at 17 Oak St. Stamford, one block from from Bedford >& Hoyt I expect I will find one day which of the Hoyts in Stamford my great-grandmother were related to. At the moment, I only have her name and her father's. She also wrote to a Julia, a James and an Elizabeth Hoyt. I suspect this was about 1910. Do you remember what was at the corners of Bedford and Hoyt back when you lived in Stamford? I get the impression that the Police Station is on one of them these days. Bye for now.
