Surnames: Hyde Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4Yk.2ACIB/992.5.1.1.2.1 Message Board Post: I also have a Samuel Hyde that came to America with his brother James Hyde from England. According to Census records found, they settled in Hunterdon Co. NJ before 1778, that is the earliest record (tax-record) that I have found on my James Hyde. Samuel sometime after that recorded a deed on 13 Oct 1799 given by Commissioners for adjusting the claims to unpatiented lands in counties of Monongahelia, Yohogania and Ohio. Don't know whom he married or where he died. Have a good deal of info on James Hyde that left the NJ area before 1800 and settled in Mason Co. VA (now WV). Danny > Hello > The question is how many Samuel Hyde's were there? This is getting confusing. > I have a different Samuel Hyde that was living in Winston County, MS in 1850. He moved his family from Georgia to MS in 1830. How many Samuel Hydes were there? > Getting Crazy!
