William Willis Hyde, 1793-1846, was my gr gr grandfather.He was buried in Hopewell Cemetery, near Coffeeville, Yalobusha Co., MS.He was the son of William Hyde and Jean Thompson. They were married in Lincoln Co (old Tyron), NC.William was b. about 1750 and was a Rev. War veteran.His application for a pension was dated 4 Nov 1836 written while a resident of Macon Co., NC.
William Willis married Sarah Mary Pollard in Wilkes Co. GA and migrated to Yalobusha Co. in 1839, when the Chickasaw Indian lands were opened for white settlement.Some of their descendants (my kin) still live there today.
