Captain Joseph (2), eldest child of John and Mary (Eastman) Hoyt, was born at Lyon's Mouth {Amesbury, Mass.}, 1727 and died about 1808. Ass early as 1752 he was living in that part of Brentwood, New Hampshire, incorporated as Poplin in 1764. He was tazed in Poplin as late as 1772, out very soon afterward and removed to Grafton, where he was one of the earliest settlers. Tradition says that the first orchard set out in Grafton consisted of one hundred trees carried there from Poplin by Joseph's wife.
