HEDGE
STEPHEN HEDGE was in F. before 1670, where he died without children, leaving his estate to his nephew Antony Hedge of England. His will on file at F. is a remarkable document. Antony Hedge came to America & in A. of T. D., in recording the estate left him by his Uncle, calls himself "of the County Wilts in the kingdom of England." He deeded to Mrs. Rebecca Hull, d. of Rev. John Jones, land left him by his Uncle in Paul's Neck. Of him I find no more.

HIDE
HUMPHREY HIDE, as the name is written in the F. T. Rec., was at Windsor before coming to Fairfield. He was granted a home-lot of 23 acres from the town, which was recorded 6. March 1649, bounded n. e. with home-lot of John Banks; n. w. commons ; s. w. John Thompson's home-lot ; s. e. highway. In 1653 he purchased of John Grumman 22 acres adjoining this lot, bounded n. w. with commons ; s. w. with his own land ; n. e. & s. e. with a highway. He also pur. John Banks' home-lot about 1649. This land is located where F. Post Office now stands. There is a tradition that the pond, long known as Hide's Pond, did not exist in the early days of the town. Be this as it may, the spot came to be a pond, which was always called Hide's Pond, until filled up by Frederick Sturges Esqr. of F. in 1880. The Hide family are believed to have been, & there seems to be no question about it, of the best blood of England. They have always been stanch, sterling, thrifty men in the town ; & for generations a Deacon Hide, has represented the family in the Greens Farm's Congregational Church.
Humphrey Hide I. whose name is frequently seen in the F. Rec. as Hum. & Um. Hide, m. probably in England. In his will dated 12. Nov. 1679, he mentions w. Ann ; s. John, to whom he confirmed lands he had deeded him at various times at F., & gave him his sword & gun ; to his d. Sarah w. of Peter Coley, the use of several pieces of land, his Compo dividends, { of his long- lot & " } of his home-lot next the rocks," which, at her death was entailed to her son Samuel Coley or to his next male heir, & in default of male heirs to her daughters ;- to d. Hannah (who m. William Sprague) & to her heirs, the other half of his home-lot after his wife's death ; half of his long-lot & other parcels of land at F., Sasqua & Bankside ; to the children of his s. John, namely John, Elizabeth, Sarah, & Mary 5$ apiece ; to children of d. Sarah namely Samuel, Sarah, Peter & Mary Coley 5$ each. He made his wife Ann sole executrix, & his friends John Gregory of Norwalk, & Robert Clark of Stratford, over-seers of his will.
JOHN I. s. of Humphrey Hide I. in 1680 was living in his father's homestead. He m. Eliza- beth (b. 25.

He probably had other children, as one Deborah Hide who m. Moses Jack- son s. of Henry Jackson I. was probably his daughter. He appears to have moved to Green's Farms before the 23, of April 1697, at which time Jonathan Sturges purchased of Benjamin Rum- sey one acre in John Hide's home-lot, bounded n. e. with home-lot of William Sprague ; s. e. Daniel Burr, & s. w. Jonathan Sturges.
