JOHN & ALTA HOXTER


AS STORIES GO

As far as I know our greatgrandfather was an Indian.  He is listed in some censuses as Mulatto and others as colored.  My mother told me two things that we should know about our grandfather was the indian thing and that all of us Hoxter's were related in some way.

A lot of people do not wish to acknowledge this but, the "colored" family members that we have met in recent years was also told the same thing.

In the 1880 Census my greatgrandfather was living in Mispillon, Delaware. His spouse is listed as Alfu (probably the way it was transcribed).  They had about ten children living with them at that time.  My grandfather "Roy" was just a baby.  He was born August 3, 1879.  At that time they had my ggrandmother's age listed as 46.  She was not listed in any other census after that time.  However, there was at least one other brother born shortly after my grandfather.  His name was Charles.  He was born in October, 1881.

My grandfather left Delaware in his teens and moved to the Eastern Shore's of Maryland.  Most of his sister's also married and moved to the area.
