James Hyde of (W) Virginia
It appears that my earliest ancestor arrived in this new World in the mid 1700s with a small family. Some said that he had one child born on the Ocean headed for the new world. This is not proven as of yet.) James Hyde, along with Sarah, which he married in England, and according to the earlier census, James Jr., and his brother George were born in England. They landed in New Jersey (date unknown). How long they remained in this State is unknown. In the Revolutionary Census of New Jersey, by Stryker-Rodda (1986), there were eight Hydes (Hide was the earlier spelling) in the area: George Hide-Hunterdon Co-Amwell Township 1780; James Hide-Hunterdon Co-Bethlehem Township 1778,1780; John Hide-Hunterdon Co-Kingwood Township 1778,1780; John Hide-Somerset Co-Western Precinet 1779,1780; Jonathan Hide-Hunterdon Co-Kingwood Township 1778,1780; Philip Hide-Gloucester Co-Woolwich Township1777,1778,1780; George Hide-Hunterdon Co-Alexandria Township 1785,1786; John Hide-Hunterdon Co-Alexandria Township 1785,1786. (It is unknown, if any, how these above men are related to the West Virginia Hydes.) It is unknown when James Hyde, Sr. was born; but according to the records that we have, we can assume that he was born before 1740 in England.Sometime after 1784-1794, he removed from New Jersey, and settled in Mason County, that part is now known as Jackson County, West Virginia. According to the 1850 Indiana Census, Charity Hyde, daugther of James Hyde, Sr., was born i 1784/1794 in New Jersey. We find that James Hyde Sr., had land and also a Will left in Mason County, (West) Virginia. He must likely got this land through his service in the Revolutionary War (if the above mention, James Hide of Hunterdon Co. New Jersey is the same person. Futher search into this will have to be made.)
Would like to know who his parents were, if possible.
