Samuel Hyde

Abt 1610 - 1689  (~ 79 years)

• Name	Samuel Hyde  [1, 2]
  Born	Abt 1610	England
  Gender	Male
  Anecdote	From NEHGR (1917): Two brothers, Samuel and Jonathan Hyde, were among the early settlers in that part of Cambridge, Mass., which was known as Cambridge Village and which in 1691 became the town of Newton. In studying the history of these brothers and their descendants the compiler of this article found many errors in printed statements, these errors arising chiefly from the fact that many Hydes with the same Christian name lived in the same neighborhood at about the same time. In some cases wives and children had been incorrectly assigned to husbands and fathers, and the numerous Hyde intermarriages made the family history still more complicated and increased the chances for mistakes. It seems desirable, therefore, to publish a correct genealogy of the descendants of these two brothers for four generations. The present article gives the family of the elder brother, Samuel Hyde, and a longer article, which will appear in one or more future numbers of the register, will treat of the family of the younger brother, Jonathan Hyde. 1. Dea. Samuel Hyde was born, probably in England, about 1610, and died at Cambridge Village (now Newton), Mass., 12 Sept. 1689, aged 79. He embarked in the ship Jonathan, from London for Boston, in Apr. 1639, and settled at Cambridge Village about 1640. He married Temperance -----, who probably came to New England in the same ship with him. With his younger brother, Jonathan, who also came over in the same ship with him, Samuel Hyde bought 40 acres of land in 1647 from Thomas Danforth and 200 acres in 1652 from the heirs of Nathaniel Sparhawk. This land was held in common by the two brothers until 3 May 1661, when it was divided between them. (Middlesex Deeds, vol. 3, fo. 321.) Samuel Hyde was admitted as freeman 2 May 1649. As one of the proprietors of Billerica he had 80 acres there in the division of 1652, and Middlesex records show that Samuel Hides of Cambridge conveyed seven pieces of land to various parties between 1659 and 1682. According to his will, dated 10 June 1689 and proved 1 Oct. 1689, his grandson Samuel was to take the homestead and provide for the widow, Temperance. After her death his farm at Watertown, of 124 acres, was to be divided among three of the children of his son Job, via., Samuel, John, and Sarah. The testator confirmed previous gifts to his son Samuel and his son-in-law Thomas Woolson, and made his wife Temperance sole executor and his brother Jonathan and Thomas Woolson overseers. (Middlesex Probate files, 11279.)
