George Raymond Hoxie(b. 28 AUG 1931, d. 11 DEC 2004)

Note: Son of George "Raymond" Hoxie and Pauline Maude (Atkinson) (Hoxie) Wright. George was raised by his aunt and uncle, Earl T. Atkinson and Mildred (Hoxie) Atkinson. He received a degree from Alfred Tech; joined the United States Coast Guard; and was a Sales Manager and other high management positions in Connecticut, New Jersey and New Hampshire. George retired on Lake Murray, in South Carolina.

AN ARTICLE FROM "LAKE MURRAY MAGAZINE
"Night Lights" by Sue Duffy February 2001

Finding your way around the lake at night is a challenge. Even a thousand points of light won't help you unless some of them are blinking red and green. Those are the reference lights that mark strategic points of lake geography. Maintaining them is another challenge.

Once a month on the full moon, George Hoxie, George Frederick and Lewis Mitchell visually inspect all 33 reference lights by boat. Just one light out could mean a wrong turn for some night fisherman searching for home.

After three years of search and rescue duty with the U.S. Coast Guard, Hoxie knows how critical reference lights are to nighttime navigation. Now a retired paper products executive living in Chapin, he says there are five different flashing sequences on the lake. "The lights are laid out so that at no place on the lake will a boater see two lights with the same flash sequence at the same time."

You might see a red light flash once every second, a green light flash twice every five seconds, and another red light shine three seconds on and one off. If you're lost, you can determine from your map where on the lake you would see those three lights at the same time. That and a compass reading should pinpoint your position.

Lake Murray maps indicate even-numbered red lights on the right going upstream from the dam, and odd-numbered green lights on the left. Their flash sequences are also indicated.

But none of it works if the bulbs are out or the posts are down. So Hoxie, Frederick and Mitchell, members of the Lake Murray Power Squadron, volunteer their time and skills to keep lights flashing at the lake. "I don't like to just ride around on the lake," says George Frederick, a retired engineer from Irmo who's responsible for all electrical repair to the lights. "This gives me a purpose, a job to do while I'm out there."

He and Mitchell of Prosperity, a retired sales manager with the Shakespeare Corporation, share inspection duties on the upper lake. Hoxie monitors the lower lake. Their efforts are partially funded by the Lake Murray Tourism and Recreation Association.

Only five reference lights are solar-powered, some on remote islands and others far from power lines. The rest are 12 0-volt lights with six bulbs each, only one burning at a time. All three men make an annual close-up inspection of all 33 lights.

"At each light, we open and clean the lens," Hoxie says. "Then we inspect the voltage to the bulb. It can't be too high or too low. We check the operation of the sun switches, the photo cell that turns it off in the morning and on at night."

The 14-foot posts that house the lights also have to be checked. "They have a tendency to dry out on one side more than the other causing them to warp and lean," Hoxie says. "The lights have to be level, so we make those adjustments."

Along the way, the trio encounters obstacles that add a little excitement to their mission. Fire ants, snakes, underwater debris, even stranded boaters. Twice, Mitchell has towed disabled boats to their home port late at night.

Occasionally, Hoxie and Frederick have plowed into unseen flocks of black coots huddled on dark waters. "All of a sudden, the coots will fly up from the water right in front of your boat," Frederick says.

"It'll scare you to death," Hoxie adds.

Hoxie likes to make his rounds a little later than his buddies. "I usually go out at 3 A.M. If I really screw up and find myself hanging off the side of my boat in my life jacket, I only have a few hours to wait before daylight and someone finds me."

That's never happened to Hoxie and he's been checking the lights since 1991. But when you're alone on the lake at 3 A.M., you might imagine all sort of things going wrong. The least of your worries should be out~of~order reference lights. That's why these guys do what they do.

Joseph Hoxie(b. 23 MAR 1778, d. 18 OCT 1851)

Note: Joseph in 1809 resided in Cayuga County working summers and returning to Greenfield in winters. In 1814 moved with his family to Kings Corners, Cayuga County, New York from Washington County, New York. Crossing the country with teams, that was the only means of communication, he came directly to the town of Scipio, where he purchased eighty-two acres of land, two miles north of Scipioville, New York. The only improvement on the land was a house which had been formerly been used as a tavern. In common with the other pioneers, labored to improve his land, and as years rolled by, possessed a comfortable homestead. Moving the original dwelling back, he built a frame house and convenient farm buildings, and spent his declining years in quiet contentment.

Zebulon Hoxie(b. 7 JAN 1747, d. 27 JUL 1822)
Note: Zebulon and Rufus came from Rhode Island to South Easton, New York, working along the way building log cabins to provide provisions. About 1773 they traveled back and brought their families.

Zebulon Hoxie Jr. and his wife Alice had land and a cabin home which, to quote notes from Butler Hoag, "lay on what is now the John and Jane Garrison farm one mile south of Beadle Hill and directly east on a lane from the road which turns at J. Warren Fort's", a farm now owned by John Peregrim and family. It is an old New England saltbox type house on Ives Mountain. and is one of the oldest in Washington Co., New York. The first Quakers who settled Easton, NY were Zebulon and brother-in-law, Rufus Hall. The first Friends meeting was at his house.

MEETING WITH INDIANS

Quakers recall act of peace during American Revolution
by Anne L. Simko
The Post Star Sep 15, 1995

EASTON---An extended circle of Friends gathered Sunday to remember
an act of peace between European settlers and Native Americans.

The Easton Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends, also known as the Quakers, dates to 1773. In that year, Rufus Hall and Zebulon Hoxsie, Quakers from Dutchess County, settle on the east coast of the Hudson River.

Though never numerous, the Quaker presence in Easton has persisted, and area Quakers continue to gather weekly in their two meeting houses.

The South Meeting house, on Meetinghouse Road, was built in 1787 on the site of the Easton Friends' first meetinghouse. It was there in 1777 that the peaceful Quakers were visited by a hand of Indian marauders.

Jeannine Laverty, a professional story teller from Saratoga Springs and a member of the eastern Meeting, recounted the tale Sunday to friends who had come to the meeting's annual Easton Day celebration.

The Quakers had been asked to settle the Easton area to create a buffer between Dutch traders on the Hudson and English settlers moving west from the Connecticut River Valley, Laverty said.

However, the Revolutionary War broke out just a few years later. In 1776 and 1777, as Gen. John Burgoyne's army of English, German, Indian, and Loyalist troops advanced south toward Albany, Quakers and other settlers were urged to flee for their safety.

The Quakers refused, Laverty said, because, they, "held themselves enemy to no one who will come through this valley."

In September 1777, a group of Quakers were holding a mid-week meeting in the log building across the road from Zebulon Hoxsie's home. Worshiping with them was Robert Nesbitt, a member of the East "Hoosick Meeting in North Adams, Mass.

Nesbitt told the group that a dream had told him to visit the Easton Quakers. So he had walked from North Adams to be with them.

After introduction and a reading of Psalm 91 by Nesbitt, the Quakers began to worship silently. As they sat unmoving in the meeting house, a band of 12 armed Indians entered.

It must have been a terrifying moment, even for faithful Quakers.

The 1878 history of Washington County notes that, just two months before, Indians traveling with Burgoyne's army had massacred the Allen and Barnes families of Argyle, Jane McCrea of Fort Edward, and John White of Argyle.

Later the American general Horatio Gates would clam that more than 100 civilians were murdered by British-Allied Indians during Burgoyne's advance.

The Indians raised their bows and necked arrows, but their leader, glancing around, saw the Quakers, as always, were unarmed. Zebulon Hoxsie and the other Quakers smiled at the Indians to welcome them. After a moment. the Indian leader told his warriors to put down their weapons, and directed them to sit quietly at the back of the meetinghouse.

When the Quakers were finished with their silent worship, they greeting the Indians. But it turned out that the Indians spoke only French, and none of the Quakers did -- except Robert Nesbitt, the Quaker from North Adams.

With Nesbitt translating, the Indians explained they had come with the intention of killing the Quakers. When they saw that the Quakers were unarmed and seemed to welcome them instead, they changed their minds. Then the leader realized that white people were worshiping the Great Spirit in Silence, the same way his people did, so he had men to join them.

Hoxsie invited the band to a meal at his house across the road, and they Indians accepted. Before they left, the Indians attached feathers to the meetinghouse, as a sign to other Indians that the people here were peaceful and not to be molested.

Although the story sounds like a legend, it is well documented in letters and diaries of the Quakers who were present, said Dr William Figlozzi a member of the Easton meeting.

"Quakers have always been proud of treating Indians fairly." Figlozzi said. "Quakers believe that if you treat people justly and fairly, it prevents violence."

The Friends' Easton Day gathering is like an old Home Day for past and present members. Sunday's event was attended by more than 60 Friends from the Albany, Easton, Adirondack, Old Chatham, Quaker Street, Schenectady, and Purchase Meeting in New York, and from meeting in Ohio, Massachusetts, and California.

Many remembered worshiping there as children.

The day included a regular worship meeting, a potluck lunch, hymn singing, Laverty 'S presentation, and special programs for the meeting's children. Phineke Brugman, a member of the Quaker Street Meeting, spoke of her work with orphaned and abandoned children in Rumania.
