Your John's father was probably John Hyde, born 1790 in England, He married Catherine Robinson there and then immigrated to Canada, and by 1850 was in Sanilac Co. Michigan, Their children were George, Lorinda,Tom,Mary,Betsey,John,Edward,Almond(my great grandfather). Last year in london, I tried to find John and Catherine, but records are scarce before 1837. I did find a couple of Johns born in 1790 and plan to go to their villages this year to see what records might be there. Interesting note - Catherine lived to be 106 years old - I have a photo of her.
