I guess it depends on what you rate as accurate. I have stuff from the NEGHS and the Newton Historical Society plus pictures of Mary French Hides grave in Cotton Street Cemetery in Newton, MA.
All of the sources I have seen say that Jonathon was married twice -
First to Mary French. (This is my line and I show 14 children from this marriage. Mary died giving birth to the youngest, Joseph).
Second to Mary Rediat (I show 7 children from this marriage.)
Mary French's grave is the oldest known grave in the Cotton Street cemetery in Newton. The Newton Historical Society feels that Jonathon is also buried there, but, if so, his grave is unmarked.
For myself, I have found no reliable trace of the brothers in England. During the 19th century in Europe, a man named Gustav Anjou earned a good living creating connections to noble families for anyone willing to pay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Anjouhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Anjou.
The Hyde family lineage is one that was muddied by his fraud.
