Fourth Generation 10. Sayles HOISINGTON (Elias-3, Ebenezer-2, John-1) was born in 1793.13 He died on 22 Dec 1874 in Rochester, Windsor, Vermont.15 He was buried in Little Hollow Cemetery, Rochester, Windsor, Vermont.18 Two Vermont Hollows, A History of Gilead and Little Hollows, by Leyland E. Wood, Published by L.E. Wood, Randolph Vermont 05060, 1976, p. 221. He was the first Hoisington to come to Rochester Little Hollow. He came to Little Hollow in 1834 having purchased two 100 acre lots of Ira Tucker of Rochester for $350.00. Lot #2 in 7th range east of river, and Lot #3 in the 6th range, both drawn to the original right of Heber Chase. He was a famous bear hunter. He was known to take as many as two bears in a seek and fifteen in one year. He once captured a wildcat alive, caged it in a barrel and brougth it to West Randolph for exhibition. About the last of march 1853 Sayles was infomred by Mr. Chaffee of Rochester that a large bear had killed two of his sheep. The next morning Sayles with his dog on leash followed him all day on show shoes. The bear took a zig-zag course crossing from one side of the mountain to the other. As darkness came on, Sayles and the dog took shelter at a nearby farm. Bright and early the next morning they were on the trail. The dog was unleashed and was soon baying and shortly began barking tree. About 100 rods from where they halted the night before was the bear in a heap of brush. Furious at the excited dog nipping at his heels, he turned and charged on the rapidly approaching hunter. Taking careful aim, Sayles fired and the ball entered one of the bear's eyes and killed him. He wighed 300 pounds. Sayles was one of the organizers of the famous bear hunt of October 1852. This hunt was announced by newspapers throughout new England and part of new York. The territory of the hunt was to be along the Braintree-Rochester mountain range about 25 miles long and 3 to 6 miles wide. The story of teh hunt was the magical inspiration called forth nimrods of all ages. By the thousands they were camped along the mountain sides awaiting an early morning start. Night came on and campfires were lighted on both sides of the mountain. Throughout the early part of the night the whole mountain range echoed with shouting and singing of the hunters. They were shooting at lighted candles, blowing horns and making merry. Soon after daylight they were on the march, some dragging their tails from the too-premuture celebration of a successful bear hunt. Soon all was confusion and some became weary from the unaccustomed travel and too much night celebration, and were about to abandon the hunt. The bear's worry was over if he ever had any. A certain enterprising soul had arrived with "materail aid" in the form of a wagon load of demijohns of rum. Sure enough it proved to be materail aid to the bear as well. Rum appeared from mysterious sources on other parts of the hunters' line. Soon after the appearance of liquid aid many lost interest in the hung and declared they had nothing against bears anyway and deserted to straggle home. The whole hunt became a farce. The local paper commented, "Among the hunters were several who had come a long distance to enjoy the hunt. We presume they will not soon covet a second lession in the pedestain habits of Vermonters." Sayles was heard to remark that from now on he and his dog would hunt alone.
