Bio

Mary was the second wife and widow of Jonathan Hoyt (1684-1735). She had six children with him, one of whom died at age 16, and two who died in their 20s. At his death, Mary inherited her husband's enslaved man, Caesar, whom she had baptized in 1741. That same year, she rented out Caesar to Joseph Barnard.
