    John and Frances (Tuxbury?) Hoyt, emigrated before 1639 when he is recorded as a proprietor in Salisbury. John also owned land at Ipswich in 1641 and at Haverhill in 1650, but his home was in that section of Salisbury across the Powow River, later called Amesbury. John is frequently mentioned on the old Amesbury records as a prudential man, selectman, constable, juryman, and moderator. John  was a Sergeant of the Salisbury Military Company and was frequently called Sargent Hoyt in the records. Frances died in 1642 and John remarried to a woman also named Frances (maiden name unknown). 

    We are descended from John and Frances' (his first wife) son Thomas through both sides of my family, both the Wright (Tucker) line and Laviolette (DeRochemont) line.

    Great Migration    		Great Migration (119)
    The "Great Migration," as defined by the New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS), encompasses the English Puritan migration to New England from 1620 to 1640. This movement primarily involved English Puritans who relocated in family units, driven by a quest for religious freedom and the aspiration to establish a Puritan commonwealth. These migrants originated from various regions of England and settled in areas that now form Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine, including the Plymouth Colony and the Massachusetts Bay Colony.

    An individual's inclusion in the Great Migration Study Project requires evidence of migration to New England within the specified period of 1620 to 1640. The project's objective is to compile biographical and genealogical profiles of all immigrants who arrived in New England during these two decades. The NEHGS has produced extensive volumes and directories, providing details about the lives of these immigrants. This collection presents research on many ancestors who were part of this significant historical migration.

    You may be shocked by how many there are. Even I was at first. However, most of these Great Migration ancestors are my 9th and 10th great-grandparents, and in some cases 11th and 12th, and with the number of great-grandparents doubling with each generation, the possibilities quickly become immense. We have a total of 1024 sets of 9th great-grandparents and 2048 sets of 10th great-grandparents. This makes finding so many Great Migration ancestors more understandable.
