Help me find Austin Hyde (or Hide) and Mary Gross please!!!!
I have seen on different papers and family trees that Austin Hyde/Hide(born between 1791 and 1799) and Mary Gross (born between 1780 and 1790) are the parents of William Christopher Hyde (my gr grandfather), the tin peddler (born March 28, 1828).He was born in Hall County, GA.Note:Austin Hide is shown in the 1830 Hall County, GA Census (shown as Asher Hide), but I have not been able to link him to William Christopher.
From my research I don't think that William Christopher is directly related to the other Hall County GA Hyde families (David Sr, Micajah, David Jr, etc.) that moved to Winston County, AL.He might be a cousin or related in some other way.
William Christopher lived in Fayette, Walker, Jefferson and Bibb Counties in Alabama. I am still trying to do research on this family and I can't find anything out on his parents, except that I have seen on the papers that have been passed down to family members that Austin Hyde and Mary Gross are his parents. Does anyone know where Austin Hide/Hyde is from?I have been told Greenville SC or Pickens County SC or both.And Especially where is Mary Gross from?
I have been given a date of March 28, 1828 as Austin and Mary Gross's marriage date.I haven't seen any proof though.I have also been told that William Christopher Hyde was born on November 28, 1828 (instead of the March 28, 1828 date shown above).I'm wondering which dates are correct.He is buried at Antioch Baptist Church Cemetery, Pea Ridge, Shelby County, AL, but no dates are on the tombstone.
I have seen on the 1880 Census that Austin Hyde/Hide was born in 1817, and Mary Gross was listed with him.I think it must have been written down wrong then or it is another Austin Hyde.
If anyone knows the birthdates and marriage dates and where this Austin Hyde and Mary Gross are from, please respond. I do think that he is my grgr grandfather. Austin Hide and Mary Gross were written as the parents of William Christopher in two different family Bibles.I don't have them though.I am at a very big brick wall and I would really like help!!!
