"Pioneer Peiter" came to America on the ship "Robert and Alice" out of Dublin, Ireland, arriving on 11 Sep 1738. The English Quakers of Pennsylvania resented the influx of Germans and forced them to take an oath of loyalty to King George II. Peiter did this upon his arrival. He was a member of the Committee of Safety in 1748 and served in Captain Samuel Corbin's company during the "Spanish Alarm" the same year. Peiter and Cathrine lived two years in Pennsylvania in either Berks or Lancaster Co., and then moved on to Frederick, Maryland for several years. The better land having been taken, they packed their possessions into covered wagons and traveled south, through the Shenandoah Valley, into Bladen Co., North Carolina (now Gaston Co.)

Peiter came to America Sept. 11, 1741, on the "Robert and Alice" of Dublin. He and his family lived in Pennsylvania, then in Frederick Co., Maryland, before traveling south in covered wagons to the South Fork of the Catawba River in NC. In 1748 he enrolled as a militiaman in Capt. Dry's Co during the Spanish Alarm; (see Colonial Records, Vol. 22-23). He built a home about 3 miles east of Dallas, NC, in 1750. He is believed to be buried at Grace German Reformed Church Cemetery not far from Newton, NC. (Elizabeth Hoyle Rucker stated in her book that Peiter came to America in 1738 and that he died Nov. 1, 1761. If he came in 1738, then Lt. John was born in Pennsylvania).

Subsequent investigations have established that traditional sources (see following) for North Carolina pioneer Peter Heÿl are incorrect. For example, North Carolina pioneer Peter Heÿl was not the son of Adam Heyl, and Peter's wife was Susanna Catharina Müller, not Catherine Dales.

1. Mr. Proctor, “A Record of the Hoyle Family, 1837.” This is a family tree compilation on cardboard “made by a Mr. Proctor,” who married into an East Tennessee branch of the family. Mr. Proctor prepared the lineage “under the direction and supervision of Judge John B. Hoyle of Cleveland, Tennessee.” The Proctor Record mistakenly states Adam Hoyle was the father of North Carolina pioneer Peter Hoyle. Mr. Proctor's Record was distributed widely among Hoyle descendants. [1]

2. Dr. Jur Bernhardt Köerner, Genealoglsches Handbuch Bürgerlicher Familien [German Genealogical Directory, genealogical handbook for families of the commonwealth], Band XIII [vol. 13] (Görlitz, Germany: C. A. Starke, 1907). Dr. Köerner published a series of German family lineage books for different regions of the former German empire.[2] These publications do not meet present-day genealogy standards. Dr. Köerner's 1907 publication includes Peter Heyl born 14 May 1710 to Adam Heyl, who was the son of Jürgen (George) Heil III. The wife of that Peter Heyl was named Catherine Dales. This lineage, which was reprinted in Mr. Hoffman's 1915 publication and in Mrs. Elizabeth Hoyle Rucker's 1938 publication, is not relevant to North Carolina pioneer Peter Heÿl. [3]

Biography of Peter Hoyle of North Carolina

Some researchers refer to Peter as “Johann Pieter” for unknown reasons. It is reasonable to assume that he had a forename as that is German custom; however, no record has been located yet referring to him as anything other than "Peter."

Parents

Thanks to the research efforts and generous sharing of other genealogists, it is now established that the parents of North Carolina pioneer Peter were Michel and Anna Elisabetha (Unknown) Heÿl of Jeckenbach, present-day Bad Kreuznach, Koblenz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. [4]

Birth and Birthplace

The birth date 14 May 1710 traditionally attributed to Peter Heÿl of North Carolina belongs instead to Peter Heyl, son of Adam Heyl, as reported in Dr. Köerner's lineage book (cited above as item 2). The birth date and birthplace of North Carolina's pioneer Peter Hoyle have not been established. If North Carolina's Peter Heÿl was around the typical age of twenty-five when he married Susanna Müller in 1730, then a birth year of 1705 would apply.

Marriage

Peter married at the village of Jeckenbach in 1730: "Peter Heÿl ist [is] d. 13 Junÿ [the 13th of June] mit Susanna Catharina Ulrich Müllers tochter [daughter] zu [of] Hundsback linenweaver." [5] View photographs of Jeckenbach (copyrighted).

13 June 1730 Heÿl-Müller Marriage Children

The children of Peter and Susanna Catharina (Müller) Heÿl were: [6]

Johann Jacob Heÿl born 3 June 1731, baptized 10 June 1731 [7] Elisabetha Catharina Heÿl born 4 January 1733, baptized 9 January 1733 [8] Maria Sara Heÿl born 19 November 1734, baptized 24 November 1734 [9] Anna Maria Heÿl born 1 January 1736, baptized 25 January 1736 [10] Michael Hoyle born about 1738–1740 in America; no birth record yet located John Hoyle born 1740–1741 in America; no birth record yet located Anna Elisabeth Heÿl baptized 3 December 1745 at Muddy Creek Congregation in Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania [11] unnamed daughter Heill, child of Peter Heill and wife, born 10 March 1748 recorded at Christ (Conewago) Church, near Littlestown, Union Township, York County (present-day Adams County), Pennsylvania.[12] Apparently this child did not survive. Andrew Heil, child of Peter Heil and wife Susanna Catherine, born 29 December 1749, baptized [blank] 1750 at Christ (Conewago) Church, near Littlestown, Union Township, York County (present-day Adams County), Pennsylvania [13] Miller of Adenbach

"1738, Peter Hel, Miller from Adenbach moves to Pennsylvania." [14] Confirmation that “Peter Hel, Miller from Adenbach” is the same man whose family settled in North Carolina is a notation by the pastor of the Hundsbach Reformed Church. The pastor added his comment at a later date in the margin of the church book beside the 1733 baptismal information for Peter’s daughter Elisabetha Catharina: “dieses Kinds Vatter ist in Pensylvaniam gezogen,” meaning this child’s father has gone to Pennsylvania. [15] For a history of Peter's grist mill at Adenbach, see Adenbach Mill; in the left-hand panel, click on Litera A, scroll down to Adenbach. The history states Peter "Heÿel" acquired the mill in 1736 and disposed of it in 1738. Reihenfolge der Müller [chronology of the mill's owners]: - 1595 Michel, Müller Hanßens Sohn von Adenbach - 1722 Johann Riegel von Gumbsweiler - 1722/1727 Peter Oloffer - 1727/1731 Johann Philipp Maurer aus Niedersaulheim - 1731/1736 Johannes Schlicher, Unterschultheiß in Medard - 1736/38 Peter Heyel

The Evangelical Reformed Church in Kusel served the towns and villages of Adenbach, Becherback, Gangloff, Roth bei Odenback, and Ginsweiler. The Family History Library microfilmed some of the church records but dating only 1743–1793, much too late for miller Peter Heyel. As he and Susanna resided in Adenbach from 1736 to 1738, it is probable that a child was born there. On-site research in Germany might answer the question.

Immigration

Peter swore to the required immigration oaths at the courthouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 11 September 1738, having arrived on the ship Robert and Alice. He signed his name as Petter Heÿel; an image of his original signature is in Pennsylvania German Pioneers, vol. II: 223. [16] The ship's passenger list does not record family members who arrived with Peter Hoyle; only he is recorded on the ship's passenger log and the immigration oaths. Possibly the family's manumission application exists in Germany.

America

Oral histories state that Peter and his family originally settled in northeast Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and that they also lived for some time in Frederick County, Maryland. [17] The Hoyles earliest American residences have not been confirmed except for his children's baptisms in Lancaster and York counties, Pennsylvania (cited above).

After son Andrew's 1750 Pennsylvania baptism, Peter and Susanna migrated to North Carolina. They must have left Pennsylvania quite soon after Andrew's baptism as before March 1753 Peter had chosen the land he wished to settle upon. The first North Carolina record for Peter Hoyle is his 1753 entry for land in Anson County, present-day Gaston County. Peter's land grants consisted of 300 acres "on the South side of the South Fork thereof on a branch" and another of 500 acres "lying on both side of the South Fork of the Cataba River, including the mouth of Hoyle’s Creek and on both sides of the Creek for complement." Thus, the creek upon which Peter situated his homestead became known as Hoyle's Creek. The survey has not survived, but a notation on the reverse of his warrant indicates surveying was completed on 4 May 1753. His title was final on 17 May 1754. [18]

Hoyle Historic Homestead

Current research documents that the house known as Hoyle Historic Homestead was not constructed by Peter Hoyle and does not sit on land ever owned by him. [19]

1756 Militia Roster

The 1756 Militia Roster of Captain Samuel Cobrin’s Company includes Peter Hoyle listed among the married men. The correct date of the militia roster was documented in 2003 as 1756; earlier publications erroneously stated the date as 1748. [20]

Hoyle's Mill

Peter continued his profession of milling in North Carolina. The first known mention of his mill is a 1758 survey "on Hoils Run Creek, about a mile above the Mill." [21]

Death

Peter died intestate (no will) circa 1762–1763 in Anson County, North Carolina. An undated estate settlement exists for him. [22] The chronological arrangement of the records is haphazard, and no date for Peter Hoyle's death can be determined from them. The clerk drew double lines between each entry to separate them; see image. Even so, because the entry preceding Peter's record is dated 20 January 1761, some people have misinterpreted it as applying to Peter Hoyle's death. The burial site of Peter Hoyle is unconfirmed. A memorial stone erected in 1938 repeats outdated information about his name, his parents, his wife, and children. [23]

Estate

When Peter Hoyle died, the rule of primogeniture was in effect, meaning that any land he had not willed or disposed of prior to his death was automatically inherited by his eldest surviving son. That son was Jacob Hoyle. Jacob Hoyle died an untimely death in circa 1763;[24] therefore, the land he inherited from his father Peter as well as land he acquired apart from his father went to Jacob's only surviving son Martin Hoyle. [25]

Widow Susanna Catharina (Müller) Hoyle

Mrs. Peter Hoyle (Susanna Müller) survived her husband. She attended the Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, estate sale of her son Jacob Hoyle on 2 August 1763. The estate sale account describes her as “Widow Hoil old woman” while Jacob Hoyle’s widow, Elizabeth, is referred to as “Widow Hoil” and as “Elesebeth Hoill.” [26] When Susanna (Müller) Hoyle’s grandson Martin Hoyle executed sales on 26 October 1779 of land formerly belonging to Peter Hoyle, there were no references to Susanna’s dower interest, implying her death before then. [27] When Susanna (Müller) Hoyle was born, when she died, and where she was buried is presently unknown.

Subsequent investigations have established that traditional sources (see following) for North Carolina pioneer Peter Heÿl are incorrect. For example, North Carolina pioneer Peter Heÿl was not the son of Adam Heyl, and Peter's wife was Susanna Catharina Müller, not Catherine Dales.

1. Mr. Proctor, “A Record of the Hoyle Family, 1837.” This is a family tree compilation on cardboard “made by a Mr. Proctor,” who married into an East Tennessee branch of the family. Mr. Proctor prepared the lineage “under the direction and supervision of Judge John B. Hoyle of Cleveland, Tennessee.” The Proctor Record mistakenly states Adam Hoyle was the father of North Carolina pioneer Peter Hoyle. Mr. Proctor's Record was distributed widely among Hoyle descendants. [1]

2. Dr. Jur Bernhardt Köerner, Genealoglsches Handbuch Bürgerlicher Familien [German Genealogical Directory, genealogical handbook for families of the commonwealth], Band XIII [vol. 13] (Görlitz, Germany: C. A. Starke, 1907). Dr. Köerner published a series of German family lineage books for different regions of the former German empire.[2] These publications do not meet present-day genealogy standards. Dr. Köerner's 1907 publication includes Peter Heyl born 14 May 1710 to Adam Heyl, who was the son of Jürgen (George) Heil III. The wife of that Peter Heyl was named Catherine Dales. This lineage, which was reprinted in Mr. Hoffman's 1915 publication and in Mrs. Elizabeth Hoyle Rucker's 1938 publication, is not relevant to North Carolina pioneer Peter Heÿl. [3]

Biography of Peter Hoyle of North Carolina

Some researchers refer to Peter as “Johann Pieter” for unknown reasons. It is reasonable to assume that he had a forename as that is German custom; however, no record has been located yet referring to him as anything other than "Peter."

Parents

Thanks to the research efforts and generous sharing of other genealogists, it is now established that the parents of North Carolina pioneer Peter were Michel and Anna Elisabetha (Unknown) Heÿl of Jeckenbach, present-day Bad Kreuznach, Koblenz, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany. [4]

Birth and Birthplace

The birth date 14 May 1710 traditionally attributed to Peter Heÿl of North Carolina belongs instead to Peter Heyl, son of Adam Heyl, as reported in Dr. Köerner's lineage book (cited above as item 2). The birth date and birthplace of North Carolina's pioneer Peter Hoyle have not been established. If North Carolina's Peter Heÿl was around the typical age of twenty-five when he married Susanna Müller in 1730, then a birth year of 1705 would apply.

Marriage

Peter married at the village of Jeckenbach in 1730: "Peter Heÿl ist [is] d. 13 Junÿ [the 13th of June] mit Susanna Catharina Ulrich Müllers tochter [daughter] zu [of] Hundsback linenweaver." [5] View photographs of Jeckenbach (copyrighted).

13 June 1730 Heÿl-Müller Marriage Children

The children of Peter and Susanna Catharina (Müller) Heÿl were: [6]

Johann Jacob Heÿl born 3 June 1731, baptized 10 June 1731 [7] Elisabetha Catharina Heÿl born 4 January 1733, baptized 9 January 1733 [8] Maria Sara Heÿl born 19 November 1734, baptized 24 November 1734 [9] Anna Maria Heÿl born 1 January 1736, baptized 25 January 1736 [10] Michael Hoyle born about 1738–1740 in America; no birth record yet located John Hoyle born 1740–1741 in America; no birth record yet located Anna Elisabeth Heÿl baptized 3 December 1745 at Muddy Creek Congregation in Cocalico Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania [11] unnamed daughter Heill, child of Peter Heill and wife, born 10 March 1748 recorded at Christ (Conewago) Church, near Littlestown, Union Township, York County (present-day Adams County), Pennsylvania.[12] Apparently this child did not survive. Andrew Heil, child of Peter Heil and wife Susanna Catherine, born 29 December 1749, baptized [blank] 1750 at Christ (Conewago) Church, near Littlestown, Union Township, York County (present-day Adams County), Pennsylvania [13] Miller of Adenbach

"1738, Peter Hel, Miller from Adenbach moves to Pennsylvania." [14] Confirmation that “Peter Hel, Miller from Adenbach” is the same man whose family settled in North Carolina is a notation by the pastor of the Hundsbach Reformed Church. The pastor added his comment at a later date in the margin of the church book beside the 1733 baptismal information for Peter’s daughter Elisabetha Catharina: “dieses Kinds Vatter ist in Pensylvaniam gezogen,” meaning this child’s father has gone to Pennsylvania. [15] For a history of Peter's grist mill at Adenbach, see Adenbach Mill; in the left-hand panel, click on Litera A, scroll down to Adenbach. The history states Peter "Heÿel" acquired the mill in 1736 and disposed of it in 1738. Reihenfolge der Müller [chronology of the mill's owners]: - 1595 Michel, Müller Hanßens Sohn von Adenbach - 1722 Johann Riegel von Gumbsweiler - 1722/1727 Peter Oloffer - 1727/1731 Johann Philipp Maurer aus Niedersaulheim - 1731/1736 Johannes Schlicher, Unterschultheiß in Medard - 1736/38 Peter Heyel

The Evangelical Reformed Church in Kusel served the towns and villages of Adenbach, Becherback, Gangloff, Roth bei Odenback, and Ginsweiler. The Family History Library microfilmed some of the church records but dating only 1743–1793, much too late for miller Peter Heyel. As he and Susanna resided in Adenbach from 1736 to 1738, it is probable that a child was born there. On-site research in Germany might answer the question.

Immigration

Peter swore to the required immigration oaths at the courthouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on 11 September 1738, having arrived on the ship Robert and Alice. He signed his name as Petter Heÿel; an image of his original signature is in Pennsylvania German Pioneers, vol. II: 223. [16] The ship's passenger list does not record family members who arrived with Peter Hoyle; only he is recorded on the ship's passenger log and the immigration oaths. Possibly the family's manumission application exists in Germany.

America

Oral histories state that Peter and his family originally settled in northeast Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and that they also lived for some time in Frederick County, Maryland. [17] The Hoyles earliest American residences have not been confirmed except for his children's baptisms in Lancaster and York counties, Pennsylvania (cited above).

After son Andrew's 1750 Pennsylvania baptism, Peter and Susanna migrated to North Carolina. They must have left Pennsylvania quite soon after Andrew's baptism as before March 1753 Peter had chosen the land he wished to settle upon. The first North Carolina record for Peter Hoyle is his 1753 entry for land in Anson County, present-day Gaston County. Peter's land grants consisted of 300 acres "on the South side of the South Fork thereof on a branch" and another of 500 acres "lying on both side of the South Fork of the Cataba River, including the mouth of Hoyle’s Creek and on both sides of the Creek for complement." Thus, the creek upon which Peter situated his homestead became known as Hoyle's Creek. The survey has not survived, but a notation on the reverse of his warrant indicates surveying was completed on 4 May 1753. His title was final on 17 May 1754. [18]

Hoyle Historic Homestead

Current research documents that the house known as Hoyle Historic Homestead was not constructed by Peter Hoyle and does not sit on land ever owned by him. [19]

1756 Militia Roster

The 1756 Militia Roster of Captain Samuel Cobrin’s Company includes Peter Hoyle listed among the married men. The correct date of the militia roster was documented in 2003 as 1756; earlier publications erroneously stated the date as 1748. [20]

Hoyle's Mill

Peter continued his profession of milling in North Carolina. The first known mention of his mill is a 1758 survey "on Hoils Run Creek, about a mile above the Mill." [21]

Death

Peter died intestate (no will) circa 1762–1763 in Anson County, North Carolina. An undated estate settlement exists for him. [22] The chronological arrangement of the records is haphazard, and no date for Peter Hoyle's death can be determined from them. The clerk drew double lines between each entry to separate them; see image. Even so, because the entry preceding Peter's record is dated 20 January 1761, some people have misinterpreted it as applying to Peter Hoyle's death. The burial site of Peter Hoyle is unconfirmed. A memorial stone erected in 1938 repeats outdated information about his name, his parents, his wife, and children. [23]

Estate

When Peter Hoyle died, the rule of primogeniture was in effect, meaning that any land he had not willed or disposed of prior to his death was automatically inherited by his eldest surviving son. That son was Jacob Hoyle. Jacob Hoyle died an untimely death in circa 1763;[24] therefore, the land he inherited from his father Peter as well as land he acquired apart from his father went to Jacob's only surviving son Martin Hoyle. [25]

Widow Susanna Catharina (Müller) Hoyle

Mrs. Peter Hoyle (Susanna Müller) survived her husband. She attended the Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, estate sale of her son Jacob Hoyle on 2 August 1763. The estate sale account describes her as “Widow Hoil old woman” while Jacob Hoyle’s widow, Elizabeth, is referred to as “Widow Hoil” and as “Elesebeth Hoill.” [26] When Susanna (Müller) Hoyle’s grandson Martin Hoyle executed sales on 26 October 1779 of land formerly belonging to Peter Hoyle, there were no references to Susanna’s dower interest, implying her death before then. [27] When Susanna (Müller) Hoyle was born, when she died, and where she was buried is presently unknown.
