Correction: North Carolina pioneer Peter Hoyle never owned the land upon which Hoyle Historic Homestead sits. The land was acquired by John Hoyle, son of Peter Hoyle, after Peter Hoyle's death via a 1765 North Carolina land grant for land in what then was Mecklenburg County. See digital image, indexed as "John "Hail" at David M. McCorkle, NC Land Grant Images (http://www.nclandgrants.com/home.htm), Crown Patent Book 18: 143 dated 6 April 1765. 20 October 1794, Lincoln County, North Carolina, deed book 17: 328, Register of Deeds, Lincolnton: John Hoyle to [son] Andrew Hoyle conveyed tracts including the land granted on 6 April 1765. The research was executed in 2006 by Kathy Gunter Sullivan, Certified Genealogist, in behalf of Hoyle Historic Homestead and reported in "Andrew Hoyle Research Report 2," p. 1. One goal of the Andrew Hoyle research was to document title history of the land on which the Hoyle house sits.
