    3. I am researching the Horatio Hoyt line from Ellensburg, Clinton County, New York. He married Stella Wells, also of Clinton County. Horatio's parents are David and Marie Monroe Hoyt. I have no dates for any of this information, but Horatio and Stella started having children in 1847. So there is an extimated time frame to start from. Thanks Debbie Pederson
