HYDE Family - Claiborne & Webster Parish, LA
I am searching for information on the Hyde family who was in Claiborne Parish, LA on the 1880 census, and in Webster Parish,LA on the 1900 census.
I believe the head of household to be Joshua S (possibly Square or Squire) Hyde, born April, 1849 in Louisiana. His wife was Nancy (also seen as Nannie), born February,1843. I believe that her maiden name may have been Nancy Parmelia (or Pamelia) Lee, but have not confirmed same.
At 1900, they had been married 26 years (married abt 1874) and had had 12 children, 10 of which were still living. I have the following childrens'names and birth dates at this point:
Bertha, born abt 1875
Lee (or William L), born 9/1876
Dorsey (or James D.), born abt 1878, married Nora Blackwell
Ellis J., born 8/1879
Mattie Alice, born 7/1881, married Jordan Edmond Wattis
Thomas, born 2/1884
Fernando G., born 7/1887
Nannie M., born 6/1890
Vera V. (?), born 2/1893
Nellie O., born 6/1894
Marrila (?), born 4/1896
These names were pulled from handwritten scanned census pages, and some were just barely legible. Of the 11 shown, I suspect that one had died prior to 1900, and that they had one additional child that I have no name for who also likely died. Without the 1890 census, it is difficult to be more definite.
If you have any information on this family, please contact me without delay. Thanks for any help you may provide.
