The Hoysted family has be greatly researched by the Australian descendants. In my
records, I start with Thomas Hoysted who married and had a son Thomas of Mount
Opheily, Co Kildare, Ireland. He married Rose (possibly surname Naughton) and had
nine children.
|
The youngest was James Hoysted of Foxhill, Co Kildare who married Temperence
Bagot in 1754. They had two sons:
|
Frederick William Hoysted (1759-1818), Lt. Col of the 58th Regiment. He
commanded the Monasterevan (Co Kildare) Yeomanry during the rebellion of 1798.
It is from his brother,
|
John Hoysted (born ca 1755 and died ca 1808) that many of the Hoysted family world
wide descend.
|
John married twice; firstly Anne Richardson by whom he had eleven children of which
the eldest daughter Temperence married Mark Toomey. By his second wife, Sarah
Rawson, he had another four daughters.
