Hoyt, Timothy Sabin, a member of the Mormon Battalion, was born March 4, 1818, at Booneville, Oneida county, New York, the son of James Hoyt and Beulah Sabin. Becoming a convert to "Mormonism," he was baptized in 1839 and migrated, with his father, to Illinois, whence he was called on a preaching mission to the Eastern States, being absent on that mission when Joseph and Hyrum Smith were martyred in 1844. He participated in the exodus of the Saints from Illinois and on the journey enlisted as a private in Company A of the Mormon Battalion. He marched to California in that body and suffered many privations. He arrived in Great Salt Lake Valley in 1848, married Elizabeth L. Sperry April 15, 1849, in Salt Lake City, and after residing for some time in Mill Creek he moved to Nephi, Juab county, in the spring of 1853. Here he resided until his death. He was set apart as a president of the 49th quorum of Seventy at Nephi, May 18, 1857, and in 1869 he was ordained a High Priest and set apart as a High Councilor in the Juab Stake of Zion, which position he filled faithfully until his demise, which occurred at Nephi Aug. 2, 1879. He left a wife, two sons and four daughters to mourn his loss. Bro. Hoyt had been a diligent Church worker all his life and was an enthusiastic Temple worker, spending much of his time working for the dead in the St. George Temple. The name of his children are as follows: Helen J., Timothy, Henry H., Mary E., Sarah A. and Olive L. They all survived him. Bro. Hoyt was a farmer by occupation.
