(The Hyde Line).
A Hyde, or Hide, from whence came this patronymica, was a feudal portion of land of uncertain extent, according to its quality. It was generally so much land as "with its house and toft, right of common and other appurtenances, was con- sidered to be sufficient for the necessities of a family." ("Archeologia," Vol.
42
HOPKINSON
XXXV, p. 470.) A hide of land, in reality was about one hundred twenty acres, or as much land as could be tilled with one. plough, according to Bosworth.
(Lower: "Patronymica Britannica.")
(I) MATHEW DE HYDE lived in the time of John or of Henry III and probably was Lord of a portion of the Manor of Hyde.
(Ormerod: "History of Cheshire," Vol. III, pp. 810-11.)
(II) ROBERT DE HYDE was Lord of half the Manor of Hyde and of Halghton and Denton in County Lancaster. Between 1209 and 1228 he received a grant of Norberie Neuton, Hetun, and Sakeloros and of Fernilee in County Derby. He married Agnes de Herdislee, sister of Richard de Norbury, and cousin and heir of Thomas de Norbury.
(Ibid.)
(III) SIR ROBERT DE HYDE, Lord of Hyde and part of Norbury, and son of Robert de Hyde, was granted lands in Bredbury by Sir Robert de Stokport. They were exchanged in 1260 for lands belonging to the donor's heir in Romiley. Sir Robert de Hyde married Margery, daughter of Sir Robert de Stokport. Their children included John, of whom further.
(Ibid.)
(IV) JOHN DE HYDE, Lord of Norbury and half of Hyde, and son of Sir Robert de Hyde, married Isabel Legh, of Adlington. They had three sons, includ- ing John, of whom further.
(Ormerod: "History of Cheshire," Vol. III, pp. 810-11.)
(V) SIR JOHN DE HYDE, Lord of Norbury, Halghton and half of Hyde, and son of John de Hyde, was knighted before 1348 and served in France under the Black Prince. He married (first) Margery Davenport, daughter of Thomas Dav- enport, of Wheltrogh. Some authorities claim she was a daughter of Sir John Davenport. He married (second) Alice. Children of the first marriage included Robert, of whom further.
(Ibid.)
(VI) ROBERT DE HYDE, son of Sir John and Margery (Davenport ) Hyde, was the heir of his brother, William, and thus inherited Norbury and half of Hyde. He married Margaret (or Elizabeth) Stavelegh, daughter of Robert de Stavelegh. They had a son :
1. Robert, of whom further.
(Ibid.)
(VII) ROBERT DE HYDE, JR., son of Robert and Margaret (Stavelegh) Hyde, inherited Norbury and half of Hyde. He was wounded at Nether Alderley. The name of his wife is unknown, but they were the parents of a son:
1. John, of whom further.
(Ibid.)
(VIII) JOHN HYDE, son of Robert Hyde, Jr., was Lord of Norbury in 1439 and also came into possession of a part of the Manor of Hyde. He died in 1460. John Hyde married (first) Matilda Massie, daughter of Hamo Massie, of Rixton,
43
HOPKINSON
County Lancashire, and (second) Katherine Stanley, daughter of Sir William Stanley. By his first marriage he had :
1. Hamon, of whom further.
(Ormerod: "History of Cheshire," Vol. III, pp. 810-11.)
(IX) HAMON HYDE, son of John and Matilda ( Massie) Hyde, died in or before 1476. He inherited Norbury and the part of Hyde which had long been in the family. On September 26, 1455, he had a license for oratories in his manors of Norbury and Halghton and was collector of a subsidy. He married (first) Margaret Davenport, daughter of Thomas Davenport, of Hendbury, and (sec- ond) Joan. Children of the first marriage included Thomas, of whom further.
(Ibid.)
(X) THOMAS HYDE, son of Hamon and Margaret (Davenport) Hyde, was born in 1454. He was the heir of his brother, John Hyde, thus inheriting Norbury and Hyde. In 1511, he was exempted from serving on juries and was living as late as 1523. Thomas Hyde married Margaretta Kynveton, of Underwode, County Derby. They had a son :
1. Robert, of whom further.
(Ormerod: "History of Cheshire," Vol. III, pp. 810-11. J. J. Hammond : "Notes on Hydes of Wilts and Cheshire." "Wiltshire Notes and Queries," Vol. VI, pp. 337, 344.)
(XI) ROBERT HYDE, son of Thomas and Margaretta (Kynveton) Hyde, inherited Norbury and Hyde, where he resided and died in 1528. The inquisition post-mortem of his estate took place in 1531. He married (first ) Margaret Holond, daughter of Richard Holond, of Denton, County Lancashire; and (second) a daughter of Robert Skargill, of County Yorkshire, or of Robert Scaregill, citizen and skinner of London, and (third) Katherine Boydell, daughter of John Boydell, of Pulcroft, County Chester. Of the second or third marriage was :
1. Lawrence, of whom further.
(J. J. Hammond: "Notes on Hydes of Wilts and Cheshire." "Wiltshire Notes and Queries," Vol. VI, pp. 337-44.)
(XII) LAWRENCE HYDE, son of Robert Hyde, resided for a time at Haune- ferne in the parish of Gussage, St. Michael, which he held of the Queen as of her Duchy of Lancaster by the fortieth part of a fee value £7. A few years previous to this he received a lease from William, Earl of Pembroke, of Wardour Castle and Park, for twenty-one years at a rental of £30 6s. 8d. He was placed as a clerk in one of the auditors' offices of the Exchequer, where he gained considerable experience under Sir John Thynne, but only continued there for a year. He took part in local affairs and attained a position of considerable influence, and it was probably due to him that several of the family removed from Cheshire to Wilts. He was buried June 15, 1590, at Tisbury. Lawrence Hyde married (first) Mary Hartgill, daughter of William Hartgill, of Somt, and (second) Anne (Sibell) Colthurst, daughter of Nicholas Sibell, and widow of Mathew Colthurst. She was buried March 2, 1605-06. Children of the second marriage included Henry, of whom further.

(XIII) HENRY HYDE, son of Lawrence and Anne (Sibell) Hyde, was edu- cated at Oxford and at the time of his father's death was a student of law at Mid- dle Temple. After traveling in Germany and Italy he returned home and located at Dinton, where his mother gave him her share of the rectory; purchasing it from his elder brother, Lawrence. He represented some neighboring boroughs in various parliaments, but after the death of Queen Elizabeth ceased doing so and, although he lived thirty years after that time, he was never in London again. He removed from Dinton to Pirton, in North Wilts, about 1625, and died at Salisbury, Sep- tember 29, 1634. Henry Hyde married Mary Langford, daughter of Edward Langford, of Trowbridge, County Wilts. Their children included Elizabeth, see further.

(The Harrison Line).
The surname Harrison has quite a simple derivation from Henry through Harry to Harris to Harrison. Harry is not a nickname, but an English representa- tive form of Henri. The kings of England were popularly known as Harry in their own times. The practice of styling them Henry is quite modern. The first Harry was born on English ground, and for that reason was more favorably regarded than the Conqueror's older sons.
(Lower: "Patronymica Britannica.")
(I) RICHARD HARRISON, American progenitor of this family, came from West Kirby, County Chester, England, and died in Branford, Connecticut, October 25, 1653. He took the oath of allegiance at New Haven, Connecticut, August 5, 1644. In 1653, he settled in Branford, where he spent the last year of his life. The rec- ord of his marriage cannot be found. He had a son :
1. Richard, of whom further.
("American Ancestry," Vol. IX, p. 91. "MSS. Collection for Harrison Genealogy," p. 42. "New England Historical and Genealogical Register," Vol. LXX, pp. 69-70. D. L. Jacobus : "New Haven Genealogical Magazine," Vol. III, p. 721.)
(II) RICHARD HARRISON, JR., son of Richard Harrison, was born in England and died in Newark, New Jersey, before 1691. On July 1, 1644, Sergeant Richard Harrison, Jr., took the allegiance oath at New Haven, Connecticut. He, with others, of Branford, Connecticut, sold his belongings there, because of church dif- ficulties and removed with his family to Newark, New Jersey, in May, 1666. He was one of the founders of Newark. Richard Harrison married Sarah Hubbard. (Hubbard II.) They had a son :
1. Samuel, of whom further.

(III) SAMUEL HARRISON, son of Richard and Sarah (Hubbard) Harrison, made his will January 7, 1712-13, and it was proved December 12, 1724. He owned land on Orange Mountain, but never lived on it. His son, Samuel, was active in the development of the community's interests, and appears often in New- ark records. Samuel Harrison married Mary Ward, who died in 1738, daughter of Sergeant John Ward, Sr., and granddaughter of Joyce Ward, widow, of Wethersfield, Connecticut. They had a daughter :
I. Sarah, of whom further.
(W. H. Shaw: "History of Essex and Hudson Counties, New Jersey," Vol. I, p. 367; Vol. II, pp. 721 and 722. "New Jersey Historical Society Collection's Supplement," Vol. VI, pp. 119, 722, 730. "MSS. Collection for Harrison Genealogy," p. 4. "Wills," p. 42. Condit : "Genealogical Record of the Condit Family," pp. 365-66.)
(IV) SARAH HARRISON, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Ward) Harrison, was born in 1678, and died October 26, 1771, aged ninety-three years. She mar- ried Nathaniel Ward. (Ward III.)
(J. H. Condit : "Genealogical Record of the Condit Family," pp. 365-66.) (The Hubbard Line).
The surname Hubbard dates from the first use of family names in England, and was doubtless in earlier times a personal name. Some writers state that it is a modification of Hubba, a name made famous by the Danish sea-king, who con- quered a large part of England two centuries before the coming of William the Norman. For many centuries the Hubbards have been numerous and common in England, and many branches of the family have borne titles, been members of Parliament, and some have been allied by marriage with the many aristocratic fami- lies of the country.
(I) GEORGE HUBBARD is said to have been born in the southeastern part of England, and to have come first to Watertown, Massachusetts, about 1633, but records indicate that if he came at that time his stay there was very short. "In the summer of 1635, a few explorers from Watertown established themselves where Wethersfield at length grew up. . . . . October 15, 1635, about sixty men, women and little children went by land toward Connecticut with their cows, horses, and swine, and, after a tedious and difficult journey, arrived safe there." With these migrators went George Hubbard, his family; his father-in-law, John Bishop, and his family ; also another George Hubbard, a Thomas Hubbard, and a William Hubbard-relationships unknown, if any existed. The winter of 1635-36 was a bitterly cold one. Snow and ice surrounded their poorly-constructed habitations, and their furniture and provisions, sent by ships, did not arrive, being frozen up in the Connecticut River; so that they had to subsist that winter upon "acorns, malt and grain." In 1636, George Hubbard and Samuel Wakeman were authorized by the General Court of Connecticut, assisted by "Ancient" (Thomas) Stoughton, "To consider the bounds and survey the breadth of Dorchester (Windsor) towards the Falls, and of Watertown (Wethersfield) towards the mouth of the River." He represented Wethersfield at the first Colonial General Court under the Constitution of 1639. Wethersfield originally comprised a parallelogram of land extending east and west nine miles, north and south six miles, and was divided north and south by the Connecticut River, so as to leave three miles by six miles
46
HOPKINSON
of territory upon its eastern bank. This strip of fifty-four square miles was bounded on the north by what was afterward the Hartford line, upon the south by what was afterward the Mattabesett or Middletown line, on the east by the wilder- ness, and on the west by Tunxis, or Farmington. The tract upon which Wethers- field stands was purchased from Sowheag, sachem of the Mattabesetts, Wongunks, or Black Hill Indians. The original deed is not on file. George Hubbard was acquainted with the particulars of the transaction, however, and to confirm and strengthen the title of this purchase the General Court placed upon file his deposi- tion, which he forwarded from Guilford, at the court's request.
George Hubbard lived about three years in Wethersfield and then went south- ward to the shore of Long Island Sound and settled in Milford, being assigned Milford Island as his grant. Before 1650 he sold Milford Island to Richard Bryan, and removed with his son-in-law, John Fowler, to Guilford, where his wife's par- ents, John and Anne Bishop, had preceded him. Mr. Hubbard was a deputy of the Hartford and New Haven colonies for many years. In May, 1670, the court invested him with authority to "joyne persons in marriage." "He was a man of high standing and prominent in the politics of his times," and died in Guilford in January, 1682. George Hubbard married Mary Bishop, who died in Guilford, Connecticut, September 14, 1675. Among their children was Sarah, of whom further.

(II) SARAH HUBBARD, daughter of George and Mary (Bishop) Hubbard, was born in Wethersfield, Connecticut, in 1635. She married Richard Harrison, Jr. (Harrison II.)

(The Fleming Line).
Fleming belongs to that group of surnames with a geographical origin and it was first applied to a Fleming or inhabitant of Flanders. The family probably descended from William Flandrensis, who lived in the twelfth century, and wit- nessed a charter of William I to the monks of Kelso. Sir Malcolm Fleming, prob- ably a son of William, was sheriff of Dunbarton. He was the father of Robert Fleming, who was a follower of Robert Bruce, and an active participant in the wars against Edward I of England. Robert Fleming died previous to 1314 and left two sons, Patrick and Malcolm. The latter was made Earl of Wigton and was one of the characters in Sir Walter Scott's novel, "Castle Dangerous." The title Earl of Wigton was used by many generations of his descendants.
Quite close to Wigton, on the bay of Ayr and twenty miles southwest of Glas- gow, lies the town of Larges, where a branch of the family resided early in the seventeenth century. About 1643 some of its members removed to Moneymore, County Derry, Ireland. Moneymore is about five miles from Cookstown, County Tyrone, where the name Fleming was found as late as 1882. The earliest authen- tic record of the New Jersey family of Flemings is that of Malcolm Fleming, who resided at Cookstown, in the parish of Derryloran, county of Tyrone. Little rec- ord of him is found except in a deed dated August 7, 1736, which was a settlement of his estate. James Bigger transferred the estate to Rev. John Strong for £23, to be held in trust for Thomas, Andrew, and William Fleming, orphans of Mal-
47
HOPKINSON
colm Fleming, "as their portion of the goods and effects whereof their father died possessed." Since their mother was also dead the word portion may indicate that there were other children besides those mentioned. This is believed to be the case and that Samuel Fleming, of Flemington, New Jersey, was also a son. The chil- dren mentioned in the will are: I. William, born between 1715 and 1730; deacon of the Presbyterian Church at Cookstown in 1751; came to America about that time and located at Bethlehem, Hunterdon County, New Jersey, died in 1794; married Eleanor Rutledge. 2. Thomas, born in 1720; came to America; located in Hunterdon County, and later at Vienna, Warren County, where he died prior to August, 1784; married Mary. 3. Andrew, born at Cookstown; came to America with his brothers, locating at Bethlehem, Hunterdon County, New Jer- sey, and later settling in Warren County; died about 1802.
(P. Lawson: "Baird and Other Families," pp. 1-2, 10-12, 15-17, 24-30, 99-101, 110. W. Hunter : "Biggar and House of Fleming," p. 468.)
(I) SAMUEL FLEMING, son of Malcolm Fleming, was born at Cookstown, County Tyrone, Ireland, April 2, 1707, and died at Flemington, New Jersey, Feb- ruary 10, 1790. Although not mentioned in the deed referred to above, he is regarded as a son of Malcolm, because he resided near the three known children of Malcolm Fleming, namely, William, Andrew, and Thomas, at Bethlehem, Hunter- don County, New Jersey. Nancy Fleming, granddaughter of Thomas, lived to an advanced age and told her nephew, Elisha M. Fleming, that Samuel was a fourth brother. On June II, 1756, he purchased one hundred and five acres of land at Amwell, where he had previously had a license from the court to keep a hotel. The house which he erected there and used as a tavern is still standing "and is located on the north side of Academy street in Flemington." The place was at first called Flemings, as may be seen on old maps, but it is now called Flemington and is the county seat of Hunterdon County. Samuel Fleming married Esther Mounier (de Monie), of Bordeaux, France, born January 6, 1714, died July 6, 1797. Among their children was Esther, of whom further.
(P. Lawson: "Baird and Other Families," pp. 112-13-23. H. Race: "Historico-Genealogical Sketch of Colonel Thomas Lowrey," p. 8.)
(II) ESTHER FLEMING, daughter of Samuel and Esther ( Mounier) Flem- ing, was born April 15, 1739, and died at Milford, New Jersey, October 13, 1814. H. Race, in his "Historico-Genealogical Sketch of Colonel Thomas Lowrey," describes her as "brought up by a pious and intelligent mother, whose example, instruction and influence had a beautiful and lasting impression on the mind and character of her daughter." She was a person of "amiability and refinement, and in her family, an affectionate wife and mother. The people whom she called around her at her home and those with whom she associated at Trenton and other places, were among the best class of the period." During the Revolution she was an ardent patriot and in 1780 was member of a committee of ten women to solicit contributions for the relief of the soldiers. They collected $15,408 in twelve days. In April, 1789, she was one of the matrons in charge of the reception to General Washington in Trenton. In the later part of her life she enjoyed relating her pioneer experiences at Flemington, telling how wolves were often seen prowling around the house at night and how an Indian village near the foot of Mullin Hill
48
HOPKINSON
was suddenly deserted by its occupants. Esther Fleming married Colonel Thomas Lowrey. (Lowrey I.)
(H. Race: "Historico-Genealogical Sketch of Colonel Thomas Lowrey," pp. 8-9.) (The Hills Line).
Research by those interested in tracing the origin of the family name has pro- duced the belief that the name was derived from the place known as Saint Mar- garet Hills, in England. One authority says in his report of the surname "Hills," "I have, I think, conclusively shown that tho confused in individual instances by careless scribes or illiterate branches, the name Hills is a distinct one, separated from Hill, and traceable always, when far enough sought, to the County of Kent, in which shire it has always been, as it still is, a prominent one."
(W. S. and Thomas Hills : "The Hills Family in America," Introduction XIV.)
Two of the name came early to New England, William Hills and Joseph Hills, and family research in England has pointed out the strong probability that they had a common ancestor who was living about two hundred years before they came to America.
(W. S. and Thomas Hills: "The Hills Family in America," Introduction, p. I.)
(I) WILLIAM HILLS was born in County Essex, England, in all probability, December 27, 1608. There has always been reason to believe that William Hills was born about the year 1609, as his first wife, Phillis Lyman, was born about 1611, at High Ongar, and in the old register at Upminster, a distance of only about four miles, are the following entries :
Marriages : 1596, October 16, Thomas Hills and Jane Scarbarrow.
Baptisms : 1598, September 17, Hane Hills. 1600, October 12, Robarge Hills. 1601-02, April 6, Elizabeth Hills. 1603, April 8, Blanche Hills. 1603-04, March 4, Marye Hills. 1606, June 1, Thomas Hills ye sonne of Thomas Hills and Jane, his wife. 1608, December 27, William Hilles, the sone of Thomas Hilles and Jane, his wife. 1610-11, March I, Anthony, son of Thomas Hill (s).
As he is the only William found in all Essex, whose date of birth comes near the probable birth date of the William of Hartford, and as that William had a brother, Thomas, it is reasonable, therefore, to suppose that William Hills was born in Upminster, Essex, on the above date.
The first record positively relating to William Hills shows that he was a passen- ger in the ship "Lyon," William Pearce, master, which sailed from Bristol, June 24, and entered the harbor of Boston, September 16, 1632. The next record con- cerning him proves that as a resident of Roxbury, he was admitted a freeman of that town, May 14, 1634. The Rev. John Eliot, sometimes called the Apostle to the Indians, says of an emigrant of the year 1632, "William Hills, a manservant, he came over in the year 1632, he married Phillice Lyman, daughter of Richard Lyman, he removed to Hartford on Conecticott, where he lived several years with- out giving such good satisfaction to the consciences of saints." Rev. Eliot's rec- ord also shows "Thomas Hills, a manservant, he came in the year 1633, he lived among us in goodly esteem and godly and dyed about 11th or 12th month, 1634," etc. William and Thomas were brothers. They came from Essex, in England, the
49
HOPKINSON
home of Rev. Mr. Eliot. William Hills doubtless left Roxbury for Hartford, October 15, 1635, with Richard Lyman, the father of his wife, Phillis; joining at that time the church of Cambridge, which emigrated as a body and originated the first church of Hartford. In the "Historical Catalogue of the First Church of Hartford," the name of William Hills appears among those of the early and origi- nal members in connection with the words, "dismissed July, 1683, moved to Had- ley." William Hills bought a large tract of land at Hocannum (East Hartford) and resided there for many years. From it he deeded to sons and sons-in-law. That he had not moved to that place in October, 1669, is clear, for the Colonial records show that he with his sons, William and John, "were freemen residing in the south side of Hartford" at that date. It is a matter of some doubt if his death in 1683 occurred in East Hartford, or in Hadley, the early home of the wife of his old age.
William Hills married (first) Phillis Lyman, daughter of Richard and Sarah (Osborne) Lyman, who emigrated from High Ongar, Essex County, England, in 1631. He married (second) the widow of Richard Risley, who died prior to Octo- ber 17, 1648. The date of her death is unknown. He married (third) Mary (Warner) Steele, widow of John Steele, Jr., of Farmington, who died there 1653- 1654, and daughter of Andrew Warner, of Hadley, Hampshire County, Massachu- setts, who was living in 1681. Among William Hills' children was Sarah, of whom further.
(W. S. and Thomas Hills : "The Hills Family in America," pp. 4-5.)
(II) SARAH HILLS, daughter of William Hills, was born in Hartford, Con- necticut, and died in Newark, New Jersey, in 1691. She married John Ward. (Ward II.)

Few lines of descent are as full in content of interesting details as that of the late Joseph Wharton, a foremost Philadelphian, whose name is synonymous with industrial advance in America. His Colonial and Revolutionary ancestry follows :
(I) THOMAS WHARTON, founder of the American branch of the old Wharton family, was a son of Richard Wharton, of Kellorth, County of Westmoreland, England, and about 1685 emigrated to the Province of Pennsylvania, taking up his abode in Philadelphia. As the years went on he became a man of substance, and at his death, in 1718, was numbered among the most prosperous residents of the infant city. He married, January 20, 1688 (O. S.), Rachel Thomas, of Philadelphia.
