Ancestry.com has a site with the Columbus, Ohio directory form 1897-92 for free this week. I found several Hoyts on it, including my wife's ggg grandmother Mary (Schoonover) Hoyt, widow of Moses. There were several Schoonovers listed also, including a Schoonover and Hoyt as operating a grocery store together. If anyone has more info on the connection between these 2 families please let me know. http://www.ancestry.com/search/rectype/inddbs/4636.htm good hunting Al Wakenhut Livonia, Michigan
