I don't know if this will help you at all. Maybe the locations and dates will be useful. According the the Hoyt, Haight and Hight history Elizabeth was the daughter of David and Elizabeth Hoyt and the sister of Horatio. The numbers in ( ) indicate the family listing in HHH.

According to HHH:

(4282) Elizabeth Hoyt b. Feb. 6, 1783; m. John Wilson, May 14, 1808.
She was the dau. of (3319) David and Elizabeth Hoyt. (1st child)

(4286) Horatio, b Aug. 1, 1790; m Hannah Starr, Oct 5, 1818; living in Deerfield was also the son of (3319) David and Elizabeth (5th child) and (not the father-in law of John Wilson but the brother-in-law)
