INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this leaflet is to name and give brief details concerning the descendants of the Rev. Darius Hoyt and his wife Lucy Maria Bogle.

So few of their descendants have copies of “The Hoyt Family” by David W. Hoyt, published in 1871, giving the ancestors of Darius Hoyt (above) on page

41 8 of that publication, we think it appropriate to give the genealogy herein.

Other information has been obtained from Donald L. Jacobus History and Genealogy of Old Fairfield Conn., Vol, 1, Part III.

Elizabeth Venable Mason.

SARAH CORNELIA HOYT

(wife of William Richard Venable)

Sarah Cornelia Hoyt, daughter of the Rev. Darius Hoyt and his wife, Lucy Mariah Bogle Hoyt, was born November I 7th., 1834, in Maryville, Tenn.

While on a visit to her great aunts, the Misses Reid, of Athens, Tenn., she was married March 10th., 1850,

to William Richard Venable, changing her place of resi¬ dence from Maryville, Tenn., to the home of her husband

-^Banta, Ga., where he subsequently occupied the position of the Clerk of the Superior Court of that city continuously for twenty years. All during the War be¬

tween the States, until General Sherman ordered all the citizens to evacuate, Mrs. Venable remained in Atlanta; being compelled for six weeks during this time to live in a bomb proof. She with her mother, Lucy Bogle Hoyt

Payne, belonged to that noble band of patriotic Southern women who never tired helping in the hospitals or wherever there was need. Their gentleness, charity and womanly tenderness won for them respect and love from all with whom thy came in contact.

Cornelia Hoyt Venable was a woman whose strength of character, perseverance in all creditable endeavor, in¬

domitable will and unblemished Christian life, enabled her to wield a great influence for the uplift of humanity.

Like her Father, the Rev. Darius Hoyt, she ever laid

great stress upon self-denial—'believing it to be not only obligatory and Christ-like, but likewise the only road to

true happiness. No consideration caused her to deviate from the path which duty dictated. It was a maxim of her life and one she frequently recommended to others;

When in doubt as to which course to pursue, take the one which requires the most self-denial.”

She was originally a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, becoming in 1 898 a charter member

of the North Avenue Presbyterian Church. In 1 902 she organized the Butterfly Club, an association of erst¬ while girlhood friends, having for its object social re¬ unions at stated intervals, for the purpose of perpetuating the friendship of the pioneer Matrons of Atlanta, with an

emblem symbolic of immortality, and a motto of ‘‘Un¬ swerving allegiance the one to the other.”

Her daughter, Elizabeth Venable Mason, has given her this beautiful tribute:

/Xnd always, when I looked in her dear eyes, Sidney Lanier’s lines came back to me:

Thronged like two dove-cotes of gray doves. With wife’s and mother’s and poor folks’ loves. And home-loves and light-glory loves. And science-loves and story-loves.

And loves for all that God and man In art and nature make and plan. And lady-loves for spidery lace And ’b roideries and supple grace.

And diamonds and the whole sweet-round Of littles that large life’ compound,

And loves for God and God’s bare truth, And 1 oves for Magdalene and Ruth.

Dear eyes, dear eyes, and rare complete.

Being heavenly-sure and earthly sweet, I marvel that God made you mine.

For when He frowns ’tis then ye shine.”

LUCY MARIAH BOGLE (wife of Reverend Darius Hoyt)

Lucinda (Lucy) Mariah Bogle, daughter of Robert Bogle and his wife, Anna Reid, was born Sept. I 9, 1 809 She was known as the ’beautiful Lucy Bogle ’ of Blount County, East Tennessee. On May 3, 1827, she was married to the Rev. Daruis Hoyt, professor of Greek and Latm in the Theological Seminary at Maryville, Tenn.

The following incidents in the life of Lucy Bogle Hoyt were related by her daughter, Sarah Cornelia Hoyt Venable:

“One of the most picturesque events of Lucy Hoyt’s

life was her bridal tour to Willstown Mission (near For*; Payne, Alabama), the Indian Mission founded and' oc¬ cupied by the parents of her husband. The young bride and groom started on their wedding journey on horse¬ back, for in 182 7, there were no roads, only Indian trails.

Through labyrinths of leafy bowers and gospcling

glooms, with the song of birds, the coo of the wood dove to her mate, or the soft tread of a deer, they wended their way through these woodland paths deep in the

heart of nature. Little wonder that with their hearts a- flame with love s young dream ‘lingering to survey the promised joys of life’s unmeasured way,’ they lost their path. At nightfall, the peace and serenity of the day was replaced by the howling of wolves. Suddenly the horses refused to go further. Campfires were lighted to keep the wolves away. At dawn they found themselves at a point of a precipice (which fact the horses instinc¬ tively had known) opposite Missionary Ridge at the foot of which was the mission and home of Darius Hoyt’s parents.

Lucy Bogle Hoyt often spoke of the time ‘when the stars fell. The metoric shower to which she referred was the most brilliant ever known and occurred on Nov.

13. 1833. It was estimated that hundreds of thousands of shooting stars fell in two or three hours.

In 1847, after the death of her husband, she changed her place of residence from Tennessee to Atlanta, (then called Marthasville), Georgia. In 1852, she married

Edwin Payne. She was a charter rr ember of the First Presbyterian Church and a consecrated Sunday School teacher until the year of her death. During the Civil War, she was one of the members of the hospital com¬ mittee, and in this capacity, rendered valuable assistance to the sick and wounded Confederate Soldiers. As

Grandmother Payne,’ she was known far and wide as the most saintly woman in Atlanta; in the homes of sick¬ ness and poverty, she was ever a ministering angel. She

never lost an opportunity of doing for others and was known never to have criticized a human being. No matter how degraded a person might be, she found the good, the soul-light, that is in each of God’s creatures. Although at one time she was a woman of means, sufficient to have provided her with every necessity during her lifetime, her kindness and unceasing genero¬ sity left her impoverished to a great extent.

“An incident that illustrates her charity and self-sacri¬ fice occurred on a wintry day when the snow was on the

ground. A woman in distress came barefooted to the door. Grandmother Payne, having but one pair of heavy shoes, unhesitatingly gave them to her. Later in the day, she was summoned to a home nearby where all

the family were sick in bed. With her feet clad in bed¬ room slippers, she gladly trudged through the snow, carrying food to them, forgetful of self in the pleasure of doing for others!

In her heart was the peace that passeth all under¬ standing, the joy that wells up in the soul from an in¬ tense love for all around her, and a determination through the grace of Christ, and in imitation of His example, to devote her life at whatever self-sacrifice, to the great work of helping humanity.

Her death occurred on May 20, 1 888, she was interred at Oakland Cemetery, Atlanta, Georgia.
