HOAR - HISTORY

Hoar>Werry>Turner>Paul Turner

*

ENGLAND

    The name Hoar is derived from the latin name 'hora' meaning a boundary stone or time mark.  The meaning of white has been used with the word 'hore' thus making a combined meaning of 'Hoar-Stone', a white boundary marker.  Some variations of the name are Hoar, Hore, La Hore, Horam, Horem and Hoare.

    From early name history the Hoars were of noble class and fought in many battle.  Others were farmers, tradesmen and gentlemen.  The earliest Devon Hoar recorded is Robertus Hore who, c.1330, married and heiress of FForde of Changford, Devon, England .  No attempt by this family has been made to connect to this Robertus.

   The first known are Henry Hoar [1785-1862]  who married Ann Cann [1786-1858] at Walkhampton (shown as Wilkhampton), Devon, England.  They had 6 children.  C.1832 the family emigrated to Canada and settled at Welcome, Ontario.

    Henry and Ann having first settled at Welcome, Ont. moved to Bowmanville, Ont.  and settled on the Bate's farm.  Then they moved to the Tyrone, Ont. area and lived on the farm located at Lot 4, Conc. 6, Darlington Township, Durham County, Ontario.

    The family were farmers, tradesmen, professionals.  Everett and Harold Hoar began hauling apples to Toronto.  These two brothers became very successful in the trucking business.  They owned and operated Hoar Transport or Haulage.

* No claim is made for this Hoar Arms.  I simply asked for the Arms for the Hoar family of Devon.
