Samuel & Jeremy HYDE - American Indian's in MA....
From the old book A Sketch of The History of Newbury, Newburyport and West Newbury from 1635 to 1845 by Joshua Coffin publ. 1845 in Boston, MA...
it says on pg. 202 that
On Jan 5, 1732 - This day died in Dedham that noted Indian Samuel HYDE in the one hundred and sixth year of his age.He was a faithful soldier to the English.It was said by himself and of him by others that he killed nineteen of the enemy Indians (he kept the account on his gun), and would fain have made up the number twenty.
This noted Indian was for some time a resident in Newbury, of whome many anecdotes are still told (this was in 1845), indicative not only of his wit and shrewdness but of his incorrigible mendacity.The pharase 'you lie like Sam Hyde' or 'you lie like old Hyde' expresses to a native of Newbury the ne plus ultra of lying.Among the testimonies on file, among the county papers, is one concerning him.In a complaint agains a citizen of Newbury, which is quite characteristic but not suitable for publication.In a petition to the general court Aug. 25th, 1676, Daniel GOOKIN, Sr. testifies that "Sam and Jeremy Hyde have aquitted themselves well both for courage and fidelity especially Sam Hyde whom they have witnessed to be one of the best and most active of them all, and that he took at Bridgewater one young man and five young women and children at other places and he slew one lusty young man and brought his hand to Capt. Hunting at Mt. Hope."
That's all.
