Hello,,,this is my first post in a long time,,, I'm searching James Hyde, husband of Lydia Cowan (d/o Capt Thomas Cowan) (my 4th great grandparents) I was going over my notes, regarding the parents of James,, and here is what i found, which makes no sense,,(these notes came from various people on the list a few years ago) 1. I have James died 18 January 1844,,, 59 yrs 5 mos 12 days, making him b. 1785 . I have his parents as, John Hide and Margaret Thompson, but I have a marriage date for these two, of June 22, 1803 ???????????? I have as John's Parents,,,Benjamin Hyde and Margaret Hughes with a child James born 1785,,, and a son John so I'm thinking, that John Hyde married to Margaret Thompson is really James' brother,,,and James is actually the son of Ben and Margaret Hughes Any thoughts or proof??? I don't think that i have any proof of either or,,,,these are just notes,, let me hear from you,,,,Melinda
