Married Homer Collins Hoyt 1 Jun 1845, in Leyden, Lewis, New York according to my family records.
Julia Ann Burr was born February 27, 1821, at Leyden in Lewis County, New York. She was the daughter of Nathan Burr and Chloe Clark Burr, whose family goes back six generations to Benjamin Burr and Anne Hannah, who came from England.
Her ancestors are John Alden & Priscilla Mullins who were on the Mayflower.
Homer and Julia was married June 2, 1845 and the morning after their wedding, they set out by canal boat and stagecoach for the then "Far West", Illinois. They settled near Greenbrush, Warren County, Illinois. Homer and Julia resided in many parts of Illinois, Missouri, and Iowa. To this union was born six children, Homer Emery, born March 28, 1846 and was single. James Nathan and Chloe Beulah, both died as infants. Cynthia Marilla, born February 27, 1854, married James Thomas Dunbar; Rachel Roxanna, born August 27, 1856, married Walter Stroud; George Hiram, born 1860, married Myra Green.
In 1876, Homer's brother Hiram Hoyt went to the Philadelphia Centennial, and stopped off in Marion County, Iowa to visit Homer and persuaded them to move to Mills County, Iowa.
In 1878, Homer and family came to Mills County, Iowa to live with Hiram, after his wife's death. Cynthia Marilla came earlier to Mills County to teach, which she did at the North Grove School in Indian Creek township. She married James Thomas Dunbar and lived on a farm, just west of the Hoyt farm.
Homer Collins Hoyt died in 1899 and Julia Ann (Burr) Hoyt died in 1908 and they are buried at the North Grove Cemetery in Indian Creek Township.
From the "Indian Creek Township History":
The first school taught in the township was by Mrs. Julia Hoyt, in her own cabin in 1854, located in Section 20. Owing to scarcity of books, the younger pupils were taught their A,B,Cs by the teacher printing them on a board.
