NOTES:
James Newton HOYE and his wife left Mississippi in about 1870 when their
son, Samuel, was about 2 years old.  They were headed to California to seek
their fortune, but didn't make it any further than Texas.  He bought some
land there and they appeared to be happy.  One day while Newton was out
working the fields, he simply disappeared. The plow horses or perhaps mules,
were still hitched to the plow.  Needless to say, the authorities looked for
him, but not a trace was found.

He was finally spotted in Jacksonville, Texas -- 20 years later -- and it
was discovered that he'd married, raised a family -- all the while still
legally married to his first wife, Mary Frances BRIDGES.  No one knows what
happened to Mary Frances during this time and how she survived alone with
small children on a farm.  It is known, however, that Newton HOYE served in
the Civil War and he received a severe head wound.  According to Gloria
(HOYE) ERHARD -- great granddaughter of James Newton (who heard this from
her grandfather, Samuel HOYE) -- Newton had a large "pump knot" on his
forehead that never went away.  So it is unknown if Newton's 20 year
disappearance can be attributed to his war wound and possible amnesia, or if
he just suddenly decide to desert his family.

information revealed their existence.  ~~ J.E. Bean]
