James Asbury Hoyle 1868-1933

On May 16th, 1868 James Asbury Hoyle was born in Jackson County, North Carolina to Jacob Leonard Hoyle (1840-1891) and Sarah Ann "Jane" Blanton-Hoyle (1839-1878).

On August 3rd, 1870 we find James on page 6, line 32 of the Federal Census living in his fathers (Jacob Hoyles) household in the 65th, Subdivision of Deep Creek Township, Jackson County, North Carolina. At the time of the census James is 2 years old and was born in North Carolina.
 
United States Census, 1870

On June 18th, 1880 we find James on page 3, line 36 of the Federal Census living in his fathers (J. L. Hoyle) Household in Forney's Creek Township, Swain County, North Carolina. At the time of the census James is 12 years old, was born in NC, was a laborer, attended school that year and can read/write.

United States Census, 1880

He went on to marry Arta Clementine "Tine" Shuler (1868-1897) on July 21st, 1889 in Jackson County, North Carolina. 


North Carolina Marriage Records, 1741-2011

Arta was born on November 25th, 1868 in Webster, Jackson County, North Carolina to Jacob Marion Shuler (1847-1879) and Frances "Fanny" C. Dillard-Shuler (1846-1917).

On July 12th, 1870 we find Arta on page 10, line of the Federal Census living in her fathers (Jacob Shuler) household in 65th Subdivision of Webster Township, Jackson County, North Carolina. At the tiem of the census Arta is 1 years old and was born in NC.

 
United States Census, 1870

On June 16th, 1880 we find Arta on page 12, line12 of the Federal Census living in her Mothers (Fanny C. Shuler) household in Scott's Creek Township, Jackson County, North Carolina. I assume that her fathers has passed a some point before the census was taken. At the time of the census Arta is 11 years old and was born in NC. 

 
Untied States Census, 1880

From this union at least 1 child was born; 

In June of 1891 their first child, Marion L. Hoyle was born in Forney's Creek Township, Swain County, North Carolina. After the census of 1910 I can find no trace of Marion.

The online community has Arta dying on December 6th, 1897 in Jackson County, North Carolina. I have yet to find any source information for her death. Given there is a 6 year difference in births for Jame's first and second child I'm more inclined to think Arta died much sooner. I think Marion was her only child. After all Arta named him after her father Jacob Marion Shuler (1846-1924). 

After the birth of James' second child William, the next child was born about 2 years later. Which would suggest that James' second wife, Sarah was William's mother as 2 years between children is more of a natural distance between siblings for most families. Currently Arta's burial location is unknown. At the time of her death she was about 23 years old. 

After the death of his first wife, James remarried to Sarah "Jane" Walker (1874-1958). I have yet to find any marriage documentation but Sarah is listed as his wife on the 1900 census.

Sarah was born on January 9th, 1874 in North Carolina to Thomas "Tom" Walker (1858-1875) and Malinda "Lynda" C. Brooks-Walker (1853-1932). Sarah's father died shortly after her birth and her mother remarried to George Washington Shuler (1853-1927). Sarah wasnt listed as a child on the 1880 census with her mother and step father. Which begs the question; where did she go and who raised her? I checked with her  maternal grandmother; Lucinda Blanton-Brooks (1823-1909) but Sarah wasn't listed on the 1880 census with her. As for her paternial grandmother; Margaret Higdon-Walker (1815-1880) she passed away that same year. As for a possible Uncle/Aunt taking her in the Brooks family didn't have anyone old enough as Malinda her mother was the first born child. As for her father's siblings; I currently do not have any census info for his family. For now it will remain a mystery.

The census of 1890 was destroyed by fire. The only part to survive for North Carolina was the census taken in; South Point Township, Riverbend Township and township #2 in Cleveland County.

From this union at least 8 children were born;

In March of 1896 their second child, William "Bill" Hoyle was born in Forney's Creek Township, Swain County, North Carolina. After the census of 1910 I can find no trace of William.

On June 5th, 1898 their third child, Florence M. Hoyle was born in Jackson County, North Carolina. She went on to marry Samuel Newton Mills (1872-1946) on January 24th, 1931 in Jackson County, North Carolina. Sam was previous married to Ida Muriel Bryson (1882-1930). From this union at least 8 children were born; Gertie 1903-1977 (Frank Ora Wood 1894-1982), Pearl Allie 1905-1980 (Loranzo "Ransy" Washington Fisher 1898-1968), Oma Emaline 1906-1990 (Alex G.
