HYDE England, for five hundred years before the first of the Hyde immi- grants left their native land to make a home in the New World, had recorded among the chief actors in her history notable men bearing the name of Hyde. Coming down to times contemporaneous with the exodus of the adventurers bent upon making new homes and renewing their fortunes in Massachusetts and Virginia, we find in Eng- lish history that Sir Nicholas Hyde was chief justice of the King's Bench in 1626; that Sir Robert Hyde was chief justice of the court of common pleas in 1660; and that Sir Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, was lord chancellor at the Restoration, 1660. Sir Edward was grandfather of Queen Mary 2d, and of Queen Anne, and of Edward Hyde (Lord Granbury), provincial governor of New York. In the records of Massachusetts and Virginia the name appears variously as Hide, Hides and Hyde, and among the immi- grant progenitors of the different American families we have : Samuel Hyde, who at the age of forty-seven embarked at London on the ship "Jonathan," in the spring of 1639, for New England, and settled at New Cambridge (Newton) about 1640, and was admitted as a freeman May 2, 1649. He was one of the first deacons of the church at Newton, and his wife Temperance survived him, as did his younger brother Jonathan, who married Mary French, and after her death married Mary Rediat. Jonathan had nineteen children, and was grandfather of Jonathan Hyde, of Pom- fret, Connecticut, 1714, who had six sons and was the progenitor of most of the Hydes of Connecticut, especially of Pomfret and Canter- bury. Another progenitor, Humphrey Hyde, came from England to Fairfield, Connecticut, in 1655, and was an extensive landholder. Edward Hyde was born in England about 1650, and he was sent out to North Carolina in 17II as governor of the province, and he was instrumental in restoring order between
the rival governments established in the prov- ince between the Anglican and Quaker fac- tions, and by aid of the governor of the prov- ince of Virginia, Thomas Corey, the governor by the will of the Quakers, was expelled forcibly, and this action added to his afford- ing protection from the Indians through the victory over' the Tuscararas near Newberne in 1712, gained him much popularity. About 1750 John Hyde came from England to Rich- mond, Virginia, and his descendants are found in all the southern states. For the purpose of this sketch, however, we have to do with William Hyde, who appeared in Newton, Mas- sachusetts Bay Colony, in 1633, and in Hart- ford colony in the Connecticut valley in 1636, and his name is recorded on a monument erected in the ancient burial-ground of that city as one of the original settlers.
(I) William Hyde, the immigrant last des- ignated, had lands granted him in the Hart- ford colony in 1636, and was probably a mem- ber of the party of Rev. Thomas Hooker, who migrated from Roxboro and Newton. As to the fact of his coming from Newton (or New Cambridge, as the place was first called), where the brothers Samuel and Jonathan Hyde afterward settled, there is no evidence that they were of the same family, although dis- tantly related. The relationship cannot be fixed, as the ages of the three iminigrants cannot be definitely fixed. Samuel was forty- seven years old before he left England, and his brother Jonathan was much younger, and William was old enough to be deacon in the church at New Cambridge in 1633; his son Thomas was born in Hartford, probably in 1637, soon after the arrival of his father in that place. William Hyde and his family re- moved from Hartford to Saybrook, and his daughter married there in 1652, and he became one of the original proprietors of Norwich in 1660, where he was a man of considerable importance among the first settlers, and was frequently a selectman of the town. He died in Norwich, January 6, 1681. The name of his wife is unknown. His eldest child, Hes- ter, was probably born in England, and she was married in Saybrook as early as 1652, to John Post.
(II) Samuel, second child and only son of William Hyde, the immigrant, was born in Hartford colony, and was married in June, 1659, to Jane, daughter of Thomas Lee and his wife, who bore the surname of Brown. This Thomas Lee came from England in 1641 with his wife and three children, and died on the passage, and his widow and children set-

tled in Saybrook, one of the children being named Thomas, and his sister Sarah married John Large and settled on Long Island. Sam- uel and Jane (Lee) Hyde settled in Norwich, Connecticut, in 1660. He was a farmer and an original settler of Norwich, and his daugh- ter Elizabeth was the first white child born in the town. He had land assigned to him at Norwich West Farms, and died there at the age of forty years, in 1677, leaving eleven children, and John Berchard became their guardian by order of the court. These chil- dren were all born in Norwich, Connecticut, in the following order: Elizabeth, August, 1660, married Lieutenant Richard Lord; Phoebe, January, 1663, married Matthew Griswold; Samuel, May, 1665; John, Decem- ber, 1667, married Experience Abel; William, January, 1670, married Anne Bushnell ; Thom- as, July, 1672, married Mary Backus; Sarah, February, 1675, died the same year ; and John, May, 1677, married Elizabeth Bushnell.
(III) Samuel (2), eldest son of Samuel ( I) and Jane (Lee) Hyde, was born in Norwich, Connecticut, in May, 1665. He married, De- cember 10, 1690, Elizabeth, daughter of John and Sarah Calkins, and granddaughter of Hugh and Ann Calkins. Hugh Calkins, the immigrant, born in Chepstow, England, 1600, came from Monmouthshire, England, to Marshfield, Plymouth Colony, about 1640, re- sided in Lynn and Gloucester, Massachusetts Bay Colony, removed to New London, Con- necticut, and finally settled in Norwich, Con- necticut, in 1660, and represented the town in the general court of Connecticut. Samuel and Elizabeth (Calkins) Hyde lived in Wind- ham, Connecticut, until 1700, when they re- moved to Lebanon, where he died November 6, 1742, leaving a widow and ten children. The first four of these children were born in Windham, and the last six in Lebanon: Sam- uel, September 10, 1691, married Priscilla Bradford; Daniel, August 16, 1694, married Abigail Wattles; Sarah, December 20, 1696, married Ebenezer Brown; Caleb, April 9, 1699, married Mary Blackman; Elizabeth, baptized December 12, 1703, married Rev. Timothy Collins; Elijah, born 1705 (q. v.) ; Ebenezer, was married twice; Lydia, born about 1710, married Jonathan Metcalf; David, baptized March 22, 1719, married Althea Bradford; Anne, who was married twice.
(IV) Elijah, fourth son of Samuel (2) and Elizabeth (Calkins) Hyde, was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, 1705. He was married November 12, 1730, to Ruth, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Leffingwell) Tracy, of Nor-
wich, settled at Norwich West Farms, now Franklin, Connecticut, and in 1742 removed to Lebanon, where his wife died October 15, 1773, aged sixty-two years, and he married (second) Mercy Coleman, a widow, on May 3, 1774, and she died August 3, 1783, without issue by him, and he died at the homestead in Lebanon, August 10, 1783. The children of Elijah and Ruth (Tracy) Hyde were: An- drew, born in Norwich, Connecticut, Septem- ber 10, 1732, married Hannah Thomas; Eli- jah, January 17, 1735, married Mary Clark; Eliphalet, May 4, 1737, died November 4, 1743; Caleb, July 29, 1739, married Elizabeth Sacket ; Zina (q. v.), April 2, 1741; Ruth, January 21, 1743, died March 29, 1743; Eliphalet (2), born in Lebanon, Connecticut, May 9, 1744, married Naomi Flint and mar- ried (second) Abigail Washburn; Moses, Sep- tember II, 1751, married Sara Dana; Ebene- zer, November 26, 1753, married Lucy Hun- tington ; Ruth (2), May 5, 1746, married Cap- tain Andrew Huntington.
(V) Zina, fifth son of Elijah nad Ruth (Tracy) Hyde, was born in Lebanon, Con- necticut, April 2, 1741. He was a farmer in Lebanon, and was married November 30, 1769, to Sarah, daughter of Jonathan and Sarah (Case) Goodwin, and they had six children, as follows: Erastus, born August 31, 1771, died April 20, 1774; Jonathan, July 20, 1772, mar- ried Deborah Thomas; Sarah, February 23, 1775, married the Rev. J. Belden ; Erastus (2) July 30, 1777, died August 24, 1777 ; Wealthy, July 27, 1778, died July 28, 1783; Philomela, March 29, 1782, died May 27, 1783. The mother of these children died August 4, 1783, and her husband married (second), February 24, 1785, Lois, daughter of Oliver Bosworth, of Chatham, and he had by this marriage three children: Wealthy (2), December 1, 1785, died July 12, 1809, unmarried; Zina (q. v.), born October 14, 1787; Erastus, November 9, 1790, died at sea, unmarried, in 1812.
(VI) Zina (2), eldest son of Zina (I) and Lois (Bosworth) Hyde, was born in Lebanon, Connecticut, October 14, 1787. He removed to Bath, Maine, in 1802, where his brother Jonathan was carrying on a general merchan- dising business, and he learned the business and soon became a partner, and finally opened business on his own account as Zina Hyde & Company, dealers in hardware and ship- chandlery. He became identified with the state militia, and served in the defence of the town in the war of 1812, when the town and state of Maine were in danger of blockading British men-of-war, and he was adjutant of the regi-

ment and brigadier major. He married, June 10, 1816, Hannah, daughter of Colonel Daniel and Mary (Jewell) Buck, of Bucksport, Maine. His father-in-law was a well-known citizen of Maine, and the town of Bucksport was named in his honor. Mrs. Hyde was born in Bucksport, Maine, September 4, 1789, and died in Bath, Maine, January 2, 1817, without issue. Mr. Hyde was a founder of the Swedenborgen church in Bath, Maine, but had been brought up in the Congregational church and was a member of both the Old North and the Old South Church of Bath, and like his intimate friend, the pastor of the Old South Church, Rev. Dr. W. Jenks, he became more liberal in his views and embraced the teaching of Swedenborg. He was mar- ried (second), April 13, 1840, to Eleanor Maria, daughter of Isaac and Lydia Davis, of Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts, and widow of Israel Little, of Boston, and they traveled in Europe for two years. Their first child was born in Florence, Italy, and named Thomas Worcester (q. v.). Their second child, Mary Eleanor, was born in Bath, Maine, November 4, 1842. Major Hyde's health became much impaired, and he withdrew from active busi- ness life. About fifteen years after his death at his home in Bath, Maine, September 19, 1856, his widow removed to London, England, hoping to benefit her health, and she died there July 28, 1885, when eighty-two years old, and her daughter was her companion in exile during her last days.
(VII) Thomas Worcester, only son of Zina (2) and Eleanor Maria (Davis) (Little) Hyde, was born in Florence, Italy, January 15, 1841, and soon after his birth was brought by his parents to their home in Bath, Maine, where he was brought up. He was prepared for college in the schools of Bath, and was graduated at Bowdoin College A. B., 1861, the year of the breaking out of the civil war, and while a postgraduate student at the Old Uni- versity of Chicago he enlisted in a Chicago regiment, which regiment was not accepted by the government, and was disbanded. He re- ceived his degree from the university, being one of the first graduates of 1861, and re- turned to Bath and set about raising a com- pany for a regiment of Maine troops, which became the Seventh Regiment Maine Volun- teers. He went into camp as captain of his company, at Augusta, was elected major of the regiment, and in the absence of his superior officers he took the regiment to the field in Virginia, and it formed part of McClellan's Army of the Potomac in the siege of York-
town and in the battles of Williamsburg and Mechanicsville, and in the seven days' battle before Richmond. He was in command of the regiment in the second battle of Bull Run under General John Pope, and under General McClellan at Crompton's Gap and Antietam. In the battle of Antietam he was directed to attack and gain possession of the position of the Confederates that defended the head- quarters of Stonewall Jackson, and in a des- perate charge which he led, Major Hyde was enabled to break through the Confederate lines and the Seventh Maine came out of the fight with sixty-five men, commanded by Major Hyde alone, and in the desperate struggle his horse was shot three times, but not so as to fall, and he was himself slightly wounded. The regiment was ordered back to Maine to recruit its ranks, and its first batallion was fitted up and took the field the following spring, and on being assigned to a place in the Army of the Potomac, Major Hyde was placed on staff duty as acting inspector-general of the left division, and when that organization was disbanded, he was retained upon the staff of the Sixth Corps as aide-de-camp and pro- vost-general to General Sedgwick, commander of the corps. This position gave him an im- portant position in the storming of Marye's Heights, and after the battle at Salem Church he was selected to present to General Hooker the flags captured from the enemy, and he was also recommended for promotion. He fol- lowed the fortunes of General Sedgwick as a staff officer through the three days at Gettys- burg, Pennsylvania, and in all the battles in which the Sixth Corps was engaged, and he was by the side of his chief at Spottsylvania when he was killed. He was about the same time promoted to the rank of lieutenant-colo- nel, and after the death of Sedgwick was re- tained on the staff of the Sixth Corps. When his three years' term of service expired he was commissioned colonel and assigned to command the First Maine Veteran Volunteers, organized from the veterans of the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Maine Volunteers. He
joined his volunteer regiment in the Shenan- doah Valley, and although but twenty-three years of age, he was placed in command of the Third Brigade, Second Division, Sixth Army Corps, where Commander-General Bid- well had been killed at Cedar Creek, and he commanded the brigade to the close of the war and was with the Sixth Corps when he led his brigade in the assault, familiarly known as the "Wedge," which broke the enemy's lines and secured the possession of Petersburg.

He was next at Sailor's Creek and at the sur- render of Lee's army at Appomattox, and was with the column under Sheridan sent to North Carolina to attack the army of General Joseph E. Johnston, the only formidable Confederate force left in the field, and on reaching Dan- ville, Virginia, and learning of the surrender of Johnston, he was made military governor of that place and of the adjoining counties. After two months' service as military governor he returned to Washington and was mustered out in the summer of 1865, after four years' active service, and was commissioned brevet major-general. He was at once selected to command a brigade in a provisional corps that it was proposed at army headquarters to form out of the Army of the Potomac for duty in the south; but this purpose was not carried out. He returned to Bath and engaged in the iron business. He was state senator for the Bath district for three terms, 1873-75, and in 1874-1875 was president of the state senate. He was mayor of the city of Bath in 1876 and 1877, and a member of the board of visitors to the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York, for eight years, from 1877. He also received appointment for the United States Congress as a member of the board of managers of the Soldiers' Home at Togus, Maine, in 1883. He was a companion and commander of the Maine Commandery of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion of the United States; president of the Sagadahoc Club of Bath, and a member of the Cumber- land Club of Portland, Somerset Club of Bos- ton and Metropolitan Club of Washington, D. C. He received his master's degree from Bowdoin College in 1864. In the fall of 1865 he leased the Bath Iron Foundry, of which valuable plant he subsequently became owner, and in 1884 he caused it to be incorporated as the Bath Iron Works, and was president of the corporation 1884-99. In 1889 he also pur- chased the Goss Marine Iron Works, estab- lished in 1887, and he consolidated it with the Bath Iron Works and entered the field as ship- builders. At the works was built the first triple-expansion marine engine built in the United States, which was placed in the yacht "Meteor," now "Golden Rod." This was in 1889, and the same year they contracted for the construction of the "Cottage City," a wooden steamship for the Maine Steamship Company. In April, 1890, the Bath Iron Works signed the contract with the United States government for building two gunboats, the "Machias" and "Castine," at the contract price of $310,500 each, and both boats, the
first steel vessels built by the company, ex- ceeded by two and three knots respectively the contract speed. In 1894 the "City of Lowell," a twin-screw steamer, was built, which for · four years held the pennant as the fastest ves- sel on the Sound. The same year the yacht "Eleanor" was under construction, at the time the largest American-built steam-yacht afloat. The United States armored ram "Katahdin" was on the stocks at the yard at the same time when the works were destroyed by fire in 1894. The wooden buildings destroyed were replaced by those built of steel, and in 1896 the "Newport" and "Vicksburg," United States gunboats, were on the stocks, and in 1897 the two first thirty-knot torpedo-boats, "Dahlgren" and "Craven," were in course of construction, and the battleship "Georgia," a fifteen-thousand-ton, nineteen-knot steel ves- sel, which held the record of speed of any bat- tleship in the American navy. At the yards the steamer "Camden," the second turbine steamer built in the United States, was launched. The old Hyde Foundry, changed in 1889 to the North Division of the Bath Iron Works, became known as the Hyde Windlass Company, and now sustains a plant equal in size to the Iron Works itself, and is devoted to the manufacture of the Hyde patent steam windlass used on half the vessels used in this country. It also manufactures the Hyde man- ganese bronze used for propellers, and both heavy and light ship castings. General Hyde's health failed in 1898, and in September, 1899, he resigned from all connection with the con- cern, and his son, Edward W. Hyde, suc- ceeded to the presidency of the corporation, and another son, John Sedgwick Hyde, was made vice-president. General Hyde was a di- rector of the Maine Central Railroad Company for twelve years. He was married, 1866, to Annie, daughter of John and Martha Hayden, of Bath, Maine, and their children were: I. John Sedgwick, born March 26, 1867. 2. Edward Warden, born August 9, 1868. 3. Ethel, born August 30, 1871, died in 1899. 4. Arthur Sewall, born February 21, 1875. resides in New York.
5. Eleanor Hayden, born August 6, 1880; married, January II, 1908, John C. Phillips, M. D., of Boston. 6. Madelyn, born August 4, 1883, died in 1904.
General Hyde repaired to the Hotel Cham- berlain, Old Point Comfort, Virginia, with his family, hoping that a milder climate would benefit his health, but on November 14, 1899, his death occurred, and proved a great blow to his family and friends, who had hoped to have him return to Bath greatly benefitted in

physical health. The Bath Iron Works is a monument to his business ability, and he will also be remembered as a soldier, financier, statesman, literateur and scholar. He was author of a military work entitled "Following the Greek Cross." The "Odes of Horace' were translated into English by Mrs. Hyde, and he put them in verse. Gladstone praised the work and sent Mr. Hyde a postcard, com- mending the same.
(VIII) John Sedgwick, son of General Thomas Worcester and Annie (Hayden) Hyde, was born in Bath, Maine, March 26, 1867. He was prepared for college in the public schools of Bath, and took a three years' course in mechanical engineering in the Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, 1885-88, and on graduating returned to Bath, and be- ginning at the bottom, learned from practical work every detail of the business of ship- building. On the retirement of his father in 1899, he was made vice-president of the cor- poration, but did not change his plan of mas- tering the business of the works in every de- tail, and it was not till the early part of 1905 that he was willing to accept control of the business, when he purchased the entire capital stock of and was made president of the cor- poration. The building and launching of the "Chester," which in her speed-trial trip of four hours' duration averaged 26.52 knots per hour, and which speed has not been exceeded by any United States vessel (except torpedo craft) built by any shipyard in the United States, stands to the credit of John Sedgwick Hyde, and is a record of which any ship- builder in the world may be proud when they beat it. He is a Republican in politics and served as a member of the common council and the board of aldermen, and representative and senator to the state legislature. He is a member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion ; American Society of Mechanical En- gineers ; British Institute of Naval Architects ; American Society of Naval Engineers; So- ciety of Naval Architects and Marine Engi- neers ; Engineers' Club of New York City; Sagadahoc Club of Bath; Cumberland Club of Portland, and Army and Navy and Metro- politan clubs of Washington, D. C. He is a director of the Lincoln National Bank and trustee of the Bath Savings Institute. Mr. Hyde married, June 4, 1898, Ernestine Shan- non.
(VIII) Edward Warden Hyde, second son and child of Thomas Worcester and Annie (Hayden) Hyde, was born in Bath, Maine, August 9, 1868. He was educated in the Bath
public schools and Phillips Exeter Academy, after which he spent one year at the Massa- chusetts Institute of Technology at Boston. Ile then entered the office of F. II. Fassett, of Portland, where he spent one and a half years, receiving practical instruction. He then re- turned to Bath and entered the Bath Iron Works, and became successively storekeeper, purchasing agent, treasurer, vice-president and president, remaining with the Bath Iron Works until it was sold to the Ship Builders' Trust. Mr. Hyde has been prominently iden- tified with the business interests of Bath for many years. He was president of the First National Bank and is a director; also a di- rector of the Marine National Bank, one of the organizers and first vice-president of the Bath Trust Company; was treasurer of the Hyde Windlass Company-in fact, is con- nected financially with many business concerns of Bath. Mr. Hyde is president of the Bath Anvil, a weekly newspaper. In politics he is a Republican, and has taken a very active part in the counsels of the party. He was mayor of Bath three terms-1901-2-3; chairman of the Bath Republican committee, and has re- cently been nominated and elected to the state legislature. Mr. Hyde is equally prominent in fraternal and social affairs. He is a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows ; the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; the Sagadahoc and Suffolk clubs of Bath, and has been commodore of the Kennebec Yacht Club four years. He is a member of the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, and was president of the Sagadahoc Club seven years.
