     Mary Rutan The Hoyes of Maryland, 84:

"In 1812 Eleanor Hoye gave birth to her ninthe child, Ellen. She did not recover; she died within the week and was buried in the orchard near the grave of her first born. Sometime previous to her illness, Eleanor had hired Mary Rutan, daughter of John Rutan of Blooming Rose. Mary was a capable and very attractive young woman, member of a substantial pioneer family of French descent. After Mrs. Hoye's death, Mary remained in the Hoye home, keeping the house in order and caring for the children with the help of "Aunt" Milly and the other servants.

In 1814, Wm. W. Hoye and Mary Rutan were married, a union strongly opposed by William's family, presumably because the bride's family was not of equal financial and social standing with the Hoyes. But so far as we are able to judge this was a fortunate marriage. Mary Rutan retained the love and confidence of her husband and won the respect of her neighbors and servants; thru the years that followed she proved herself a worthy wife and her twelve children were at least equal in character and intelligence to their older half brothers and sisters." Mary was born on 7 March 1792.² She married William Waller Hoye in 1814.³ Mary died in 1842. Hoye gives 1842 on p 99 and 1840 on p 76.²
