Notes:

Notes from Uncle Jim Lincoln, brother of Lura Lincoln Cook, son of Esther Hoare Lincoln, 2/24/1996:

Many Hoares are buried in Ludington, MI. Annie Hoare Cross, one of Joseph and Harriet's children, is buried here . (Ludington is on the west edge of MI on Lake Michigan.) When Joseph and his family came to the USA from England in September 1883, they first lived in Saugatuck, MI, south of Ludington on Lake Michigan, in Allegan County. The family was taken in by Ned Hoare, Joseph's brother. Joseph was a baker by trade. He had a tremendous long reach arm-to-arm stretched out. He smoked a pipe and was a tall, "rangie" person. A family story is that he was put out to work as an apprentise baker at a very early age, could have been as young as 7.

Harriet Newport Hoare died of tuberculosis after a long illness in Elk Rapids. There is a stained glass window in a church (which one?) in memory of Harriet Newport Hoare in Elk Rapids.

Notes - Recollections - and records in England: Lura Lincoln Cook's notes say that Joseph Hoare was born on Oct. 25, 1851, in Tunbridge, England. Bonny's research of records in the Archives of Canterbury Cathedral, August 1997, stated he was born in Godmersham, Kent, England. Lura's notes say that his parents were Edward Hoare and Sarah Dodd. I searched all of the records and found the correct Sarah Dodd but her husband's name was John Hoare.

Source: Godmersham Parish Register: lists the baptism of Joseph Hoare, son of William and Sarah, as being Feb. 11, 1849 (#492 on the Register). Other records show his birthdate as Dec. 15, 1850. The year discrepancy is probably due to the old year numbering system where the new year started near the end of March (18th? or so). He was probably born on Dec. 15, 1850 and baptized on Feb. 11, 1849/50.

Source: Linda Cook's research on ancestry.com indexes for the 1871 and 1881 UK census reports:
Joseph Hoare and his family are listed in Wye. Joseph's mother's Dodd father may have been the gamekeeper at the Park at Godmersham.
