His father was William H Hyde of Pike County, IL and his mother was Virginia O'Neal I believe the birth certificate says. Could this be the same one you are looking for? If so, let me know, because I have no clue where to start in geneaology. I went to the courthouse in Pike Co, IL to obtain this information.
