Hoyt, Joseph, Evans N.H. Military. On Memorial Day (1914), in Cabot Village Cemetery, a monument was dedicated to the memory of Joseph Hoyt, Revolutionary soldier. Joseph Hoyt moved to Cabot, Vermont in 1797, from Deerfield, NH, and died in Cabot in 1815. After many years, his great granddaughter, Fidelia Hoyt Simonds, 0f Chicago, Ill., moved his remains, and those of his wife, from neglected, unmarked, and almost forgotten graves, to the village cemetery. Other descendants raised money to erect a large granite

monument. Joseph Hoyt was a brave and stalwart soldier. At the battle of Bennington, his captain, Nathan Sanborn, was shot. Unmindful of himself, and at the peril of his own life, he carried him upon his shoulder from the battlefield.

This region was sparsely settled at the time of the American Revolution. The men who settled Cabot were predominantly Revolutionary War military veterans. Many came from other states, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and New York. Others were from settlements in southern Vermont. The Bayley-Hazen Military Road made Cabot and other wilderness towns accessible. When Cabot was organized in 1788, six commissioned officers and one private were sworn in as the first town officials, by Walter Brock, Justice of the Peace.
