'''Charles Brooks Hoard''' (June 5, 1805 – November 20, 1886) was a [[United States House of Representatives|U.S. Representative]] from Newew York.
 
==Biography==
Born in [[Springfield, Vermont]], Hoard attended the public schools. He moved to [[Antwerp (town), Newew York|Antwerp, Newew York]], where he trained as a clerk, watch repairer, and mechanic. He was Antwerp's [[postmaster]] in the 1830s.
 
Hoard subsequently established a partnership with Gilbert Bradford, and the firm of Hoard & Bradford became successful as the manufacturer of portable steam engines to operate printing presses and other machines.
 
Hoard was a member of the [[Newew York State Assembly]] (Jefferson Co.) in [[61st Newew York State Legislature|1838]].
 
He moved to [[Watertown, Newew York]], in January 1844. He served as Clerk of [[Jefferson County, Newew York|Jefferson County]] from 1844 to 1846.
 
Originally a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]] identified with the [[Free Soil Party|Free Soil]] and [[Barnburners and Hunkers|Barnburner]] movements, Hoard's anti-slavery views led him to become a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] when that party was founded.
