Penny - I'd be very interested in the Hyde info. that you have.The furthest back I have is on three Hyde brothers that were born in Bryson City,(Swain Co.) NC.The three brothers were:Cornealous (Neal), John and Hamilton (Ham).Neal and Ham left Bryson City NC to Grassy Creek TN which is in what is now known as Polk Co (made up from McMinn and Bradley Co. after mid 1800's)...John reportedly stayed in Bryson City for a short time thereafter, but my grandfather was told that he went out west and was not heard from again.
Ham Hyde had Harrison, Julius, Benjamin, John and Sherman Hyde with two wives.The first wife was Malley, but she died.My grandfather can't remember the first name of Ham's 2nd wife.
Neal Hyde b. 9-6-1846 married Nancy Cass Elliott from Bryson City, NC before they moved to Grassy Creek TN.They had the following children:Dovie, Nancy (married Henry Walden), Bet (married Wil Bradford), John Hamilton (married Sarah Katherine Barnes), Thomas M. (married Florence B. Barnes), Mollie (married NB or Benson Bates), Bengman Hamilton (married #1 Heidi, then #2 Lucy), Kate (married WC Chastain), and William B. Hyde (married Naomi Chastain).
Does any of this look/sound familiar?I have found a lot of Hyde's from Bryson City, NC.It appears that there was 1 - 2 original Hyde's that went there...
