He was a soldier in the revolution, serving in Captain Joseph Morse's company, Colonel John Paterson's regiment, from April 24 to August 1, 1775, credited to the town of Natick, according to the official rolls. As the births of some of his children were recorded in Natick, he must have lived there during the revolution. He took part in the battle of Bunker Hill and is said to have served several years in the revo- lution.

(VII) John, son of Daniel Hill, was born in New Hartford, Oneida county, New York, March 8, 1800. He went with his parents to Lenox, Madison county, when he was seven years old. He was educated in the district schools. In 1824 he married Isyphene Annas and moved to a farm that he owned in the town of Fenner, Madison county. He became a well-to-do farmer and prominent citizen. He held various offices of trust and honor. He was loan commissioner, justice of the peace and supervisor of the town. In 1833 he bought a country hotel called the Baldwin House, on the old stage line from Chittenango to the Chenango Valley. In 1837 he bought the Oran S. Avery farm in Perryville and the Dekeman Mill and moved thither. It has been said of him :


With large natural endowments, a keen, incisive intellect united with rare vigor and much natural heroism, he was peculiarly fitted to become a leader among men, which within his sphere he was. His courage and energy were simply wonderful and ir- repressible. He was active, full of life, indefatigable in labor, honorable in his dealings, prompt and ac- curate in his executive ability. Few possessed such instructive penetration of character. Men in trouble seemed instinctively to turn to Mr. Hill for counsel, sympathy and help. A man with ways positive, di- rect and unmistakable, he had the capacity to stamp his personality upon whomever he came in contact with and therefore was widely known throughout Madison county. It was never in his heart to do deliberate wrong to anyone and many can testify that they have been helped on in their life battle by his sympathy and aid. As a father he was emi- nently kind and paternal, for his daughter especially, he exhibited a love that was chivalrous and beau- tiful.


He was a kind son, caring for his aged parents with thoughtful love, in their last years. He was prominent in social life, as well as in business and politics, and generous in his hospitality. His long and useful career ended September 23, 1879.

His wife, Isyphene ( Annas) Hill, was a daughter of Oliver Annas, who came with the pioneers to Nelson, Madison county, from Vermont, and afterward bought and cleared a farm in Fenner, where Isyphene was born June 30, 1806. Oliver Annas married Aphena Aldrich, of an old family of Mendon, Worces- ter county, Massachusetts. Both Annas and Aldrich families were Quakers, rigid in prin- ciples and of exemplary life. The daughter was brought up in the old way, learning to sew, spin, weave and make patchwork. She was eighteen years old, when she married John Hill, September 19, 1824. It has been well said of her :


A true and loving helpmeet to the man with whom she chose to walk life's rugged pathway, combining a rare sweetness with great firmness of disposition, she was a helmet of safety for her somewhat spirited family to rely upon, in all differences exercising a remarkable wisdom in protecting each from the faults and weakness of the other, thereby producing a harmony of which she was ever the strongest, sweetest note. They united in many a noble self-sacrifice and gave generously to their family the advantages of which they had been deprived, encour- aging their improvement with loving admonitions.

England for five hundred years be- HYDE fore the first of the Hyde immi- grants left their native land to make a home in the New World had recorded


I 208


NEW YORK.


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 English history that Sir Nicholas Hyde was chief justice of the King's Bench in 1626; that Sir Robert Hyde was chief justice of court of common pleas in 1660; and that Sir Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, was lord chancellor at the Restora- tion, 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 Vir- ginia the name appears variously as Hide, Hides and Hyde, and among the immigrant progenitors of the different American famil- ies 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, settled at New Cambridge ( Newton ) about 1640, and was admitted as a freeman, May 2, 1619. 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 was sent out to North Carolina in 17II as governor of the province; he was in- strumental in restoring order between the rival governments established in the province, be- tween the Anglican and Quaker factions, and by aid of the governor of the province of Vir- ginia, Thomas Corey, the governor, by the will of the Quakers, was expelled forcibly, and this action, added to his affording protection from the Indians through the victory over the Tus- caroras near Newberne in 1712, gained him much popularity. About 1750 John Hyde came from England to Richmond, Virginia, and his descendants are found in all the southern states. For the purpose of this sketch. how- ever, we have to do with William Hyde, who appeared in Newton, Massachusetts Bay Col-


ony, in 1633, and in Hartford 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.


(1) William Hyde, the immigrant last des- ignated, had lands granted to 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, afterwards 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 immigrants 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 settled in Saybrook, one of the children be- ing named Thomas, and his sister Sarah mar- ried John Large and settled on Long Island. Samuel and Jane (Lee) Hyde settled in Nor- wich, Connecticut, in 1660. He was a farmer and an original settler of Norwich, and his daughter 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 children were all born in Norwich, Connecti- cut, in the following order : Elizabeth, August, 1660, married Lieutenant Richard Lord; Phobe, January, 1663, married Matthew Gris- wold ; Samuel, mentioned below ; John, Decem- ber, 1667, married Experience Abel; William, January, 1670, married Anne Bushnell ; Thomas, July, 1672. married Mary Backus ; Sarah, February, 1675, died the same year ; John, May, 1677, married Elizabeth Bushnell. (III) Samuel (2), eldest son of Samuel ( 1) and Jane (Lee) Hyde, was born in Nor- wich, Connecticut, in May, 1665. He married, December 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, resided in Lynn and Gloucester, Massachu- setts Bay Colony, removed to New London, Connecticut, and finally settled in Norwich, Connecticut, 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, mentioned below ; Ebenezer, who 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 Le- banon, Connecticut, 1705. He married (first), November 12. 1730, 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. He married (sec- ond) Mercy Coleman, a widow, May 3, 1774, and she died August 3. 1783, without issue by him ; he died at the homestead in Lebanon. August 10, 1783. Children of Elijah and Ruth
