Hello Lisa,
I am researching the Hyde line for my partner Alice Hyde. Her line apperas to descend from Humphrey via John - John - Daniel - Eliakim - Samuel deForest - Ira David - John Harvey - Aretas - Bruce Marsh - John Bruce - Alice.
I have run into the usual problem with Humphrey Hyde and where he started out from in England, and exactly who his wife/wives was/were. Many genealogies I have examined assume his father was George Hyde of Blagrove, Abingdon, Berkshire, but there are significant clashes with dates to try and fit him with Humphrey. One genealogy has Humphrey as originating from Derbyshire, which doesn't fit easily either. It seems pointless to trace the Hydes back to the the 1100's (as some have done) if the line is not definitely established beyond Humphrey.
I wondered if you might know of any recent research which could have turned up any more concrete information??
Regards,
Chris Lackner
