A Little Hoy Family History

Written by: Tricia Wilkinson

My Great-Grandfather is Abraham Hoy Jr. who married

the daughter of  Amanda Catherine (Dresback)  Koch.

Abraham Hoy Jr. and Sarah Catherine Koch married

15 Jun 1873 in St. Joseph Township,

Champaign County, Illinois.

 

Interesting to note also that Catherine Hoy and Anna Hoy (sisters) married brothers;

Catherine married Jacob E. Dresback

and Anna Married John Dresbach.

 

They each spell their last name differently but we know

their parents are Jacob Dresback and Elizabeth.

 Jacob died: 19 Dec 1857 Logan County, Ohio, USA

Plum Cemetery Washington Twp., Logan County, Ohio

and Elizabeth born: 13 Dec 1781 died: 24 Jun 1835,

 grave-Fairfield County, Ohio.

 

Jacob E. Dresback and Catherine Hoy Dresback

died in Champaign County, Illinois.

 

Anyway... the interesting part was that Abraham Hoy Jr.

 is the nephew of Catherine Hoy Dresback and Abraham married Catherine's Granddaughter. So Abraham and Sarah were already cousins and they married.

Amanda Catherine Dresback Koch had 9 children.
