Hoar, daughter of George Hoar, prominent as a boat builder of Ellenville, New York. http://archive.org/stream/genealogicalfami02reyn/genealogicalfami02reyn_djvu.txt George, son of John B. Hoar, was born at Bronkton, county Kent, England. May 20, 1825, died December 21, 1900, at Ellenville, New York. He came to this country with his parents and brothers and sisters when he was about nine years of age, on the sailing vessel "Montreal." He attended the district schools of Ellenville, and early in life he went to Alligerville, New York, and worked alongside of his brother-in-law in his shipyard. Later, in company with one of his brothers, he went to Hawley, Pennsylvania, where both of them engaged in boat building and repairing. This continued for some time, when finally the two brothers separated and George Hoar came to Ellenville. In that town he purchased a boatyard and drydock where he built boats for the Albany and Honesdale line, the Merchants' and Tanners' line, and the D. & H. Canal Company. In course of time his concern attained considerable proportions ; he executed a great deal of work in the repairing line, and his general business in both directions along the Hudson was very great. When the D. and H. canal was abandoned he built a plant for the manufacture of sand from ground granite, to be employed in the manufacture of glass, and in this business he continued till his death. Throughout his busy life he engaged in many and various ventures, all of which showed his unusual practical ability and his business skill. His ship and boatyard was long an interesting object from the river, and the amount of work executed in it gave it always an appearance of a great hive of industry. Mr. Hoar was well able to adapt himself to changing business conditions, and when it became necessary for him to engage in a new line of industry his varied experience in vari- ous capacities from youth to age served him in good stead. He was the organizer, leader and a member of the first Ellenville brass band. He was a member of the Reformed church and in politics was a Republican. In the course of his adult life he held various public positions of prominence, was trustee of the village, and was a member of the board of education. He was always greatly interested in the public afifairs and progress of Ellenville, and was regarded as one of its pioneers during the period of its more im- portant development. From the time of his settlement in the neighborhood he was a highly respected member of the community, and had a large circle of acquaintances. He married Harriet Mason.
