Burr Artz Central Library > Frederick County Public Libraries > Frederick, MD > www.fcpl.org > Home of the Linton-Holdcraft Obituary Collection I'm wondering where the original poster disappeared to and why we have gotten no feedback so far from that original poster with a real ID! (although possibly a munged adddress). I'm also wondering if he/she has any connection to my 7g-grandfather, Jonathan Hyde (1626-1711), who was born at Denton, Lancashire, England and died 05 Oct 1711 at Newton/Cambridge, Middlesex, MA.
