Thank you for the information!   

I do have 3 posts on this site alone. Barb, I tried to send you a message with my email address but if you didn't receive it, it means that you don't have 3 posts yet.  If I see a total of 3 from you,  I will try again.

Hello Barb,  Just saw your response to Andrea Lynn,  my mother was Louis's sister,  Stanton and Helen's daughter.  I thought Stanton had a brother Fred, as well as James Urban, and that Fred had two to three sons.  Is that not correct?   If so, then the line continues there as well.

 Hi Emms, thank you for the warm welcome!  I am in Pennsylvania and my mother was a Hoey.  About 20 years ago my grandmother turned 100 and a local Cardinal came to visit in honor of hre 100 years.  Her married name, of course, was Hoey. The Cardinal had worked in New York many years before coming to Pennsylvania.  He told her the day of the visit that he knew the name Hoey well from New York but it was uncommon in these parts.   I knew of my cousins  with the name but that is it.

Interestingly - looking in my local phone book this past year I saw the name Hoey and turns out a Hoey family lives nearby!  It is an unusual name and this was the first time I met anyone with the name outside of my family.  He is not related to my immediate branch - as we talked I found that he did not know where his family in Ireland was from either.

It is possible that this neighbor may be related to my grandfather's brothers children but from our conversation at that time it did not appear to be so.    My grandfather died in 1962,  I know my grandmother kept in touch with some of the sisters - and there may have been another sister named Martina - but that was a long time ago, and they were already elderly, and I do not know any members of that extended family.

I have not looked into passenger lists for Hoey - my ancestry research is a slow process at this time. 
My younger sister has had a lifeling interest in horses which she has shared with her children.  Learning the name "Hoey" means "horseman" and that the work of many of the Hoey's  was saddlery was VERY interesting.

Thanks again!!!

My grandfather, born in Philadelphia, was the son of a James Urban Hoey born in Ireland.  My grandfather also had a brother named James Urban Hoey.   He and his mother, a widow,
came to the United States when he was 13 months old which would have been about July of 1861.

 I do not know where in Ireland my great grandfather was born.  I thought my Grandmother once said County Down - but who knows if that is correct.

MARRIAGE OF JAMES U. HOEY AND MARGARET E. MACASSEN
(parents of Louis Stanton Hoey, my grandfather and siblings, Fred, Daisy, Jesse, Urban and Genevieve.  The male children were called by their middle name.  My grandfather was called Stanton.  James Urban was called Urban.)

Marriage license is dated March 28, 1888.  Marriage
date is April 4, 1888. 

James U. Hoey was born in Ireland on June 2, 1860. 
Margaret E. Macassen was born in Philadelphia on
February 2, 1865.
