Surnames: Logue, Hoyt Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lEC.2ACE/394.1 Message Board Post: Ralph, You have an interesting problem here. I'm not related, but can provide you a few clues that might help you out. 1870 Census, Muscoda, Grant, WI, Household 95 James Logue, 43, Laborer, PA Cathrine, 39, PA Samuel, 20, PA Edward E., 18, PA J. D., 16, PA (male) John J., 14, WI Amanda A., 9, WI Almira F., 7, WI Adele, 4, WI I suspect Adele is Della/Adella. 1870 Census, Muscoda, Grant, WI, Household 98 A. J. Hoyt, 50, Farmer, NY Mary Ann, 49, PA Royal, 21, PA John, 17, PA Mary, 12, WI Leotona Logue, 10, WI George (Logue?), 3, WO Laurie (Logue or Hoyt?), 47, PA The question of the day is what happened to James and Catherine in 1880. Did they die? Move away? They aren't found in Grant Co. 1880 Census, Muscoda, Grant, WI, Pg. 247C A.J. Hout, 59, Farmer, BP not State, VT, Mother BP not Stated Mary A., 58, Keeping House, PA, MD, CT Mary, 21, At School, WI, NY, PA Della Lagne/Logue?, 13, At Home, WI, PA, PA (Niece) George McDoncal, 13, Works on Farm, WI, PA, PA (Nephew) This must be your Della Logue. Now, back to the 1900 census. Adella is listed as the "cousin-on-law" of Leroy Hoyt which would make her the "cousin" of his wife Mary H. Also you find Albert J. (A.J.) Hoyt, Mary H's father living there. Per the Grant Co. marriage records, Laroy (Leroy) S. Hoyt married Mary H. Hoyt, 19 Nov 1899, recorded in Bk. 12, Pg. 395. Laroy is recorded as the son of Edgar M. and Amanda C. (Unknown) Hoyt. Mary H. the daughter of Albert J. and Mary Ann (Logue) Hoyt. Well, here is part of the connection. I suspect Leroy and Mary were cousins. Also, Mary's mother was a Logue and quite likely the sister of Jame Logue. It's pure speculation, but would seem that Adele Logue was born in Muscoda in 1867 to James and Catherine Logue. In 1870 she is in their household. In 1880 she is listed as Della in the houshold of her Aunt, Mary Ann (Logue) Hoyt. In 1900 she is living with her cousin Mary H. (Hoyt) Hoyt and her Uncle, Albert J. Logue who apparently raised here since at least the age of 13. I don't find any reference to Addom James Logue, but likely this is the James you seek. Do you have the names for any of Jacob B.'s siblings? Do they match up with the 1870 census? Is J. D. in 1870 actually J. B. (Jacob B.)? Good luck in the search. Dave Taft Arlington, TX
