General Notes: Husband - William Hyde

---

He came to America from England in 1633.

Norwich was settled in 1660. The 35 original proprie­tors of that town were the Rev. James Fitch, the first minister of that place; Major John Mason, afterwards Lieut. Gov. of Connecticut; Lieut. Thomas Leffingwell; Lieut. Thomas Tracy, and his eldest son, John Tracy; Deacon Thomas Adgate; Christopher Huntington, and his brother, Deacon Simon Huntington; Ensign Thomas Wa­terman; William Hyde, and his son, Samuel Hyde, and his son-in-law, John Post; Thomas Post; Lieut. William Backus, and his brother, Stephen Backus; Deacon Hugh Calkins, and his son, John Calkins, and his son-in-law, Jonathan Royce; John Reynolds; Thomas Bliss; Francis Griswold; John Birchard; Robert Wade; Morgan Bow­ers; John Gager; Thomas Howard; Dr. John Olmstead; Nehemiah Smith; Richard Edgerton; John Elderkin; John Bradford; Thomas Bingham; Robert Allen; John Baldwin, and John Pease. Most of these original proprietors of Norwich were from Saybrook, and East Saybrook (now Lyme). Hugh Calkins, and his son and son-in-law, and John Pease, John Gager, Nehemiah Smith, and Robert Allen, were from New London. Thomas Waterman, and John Bradford, were from Marshfield, Mass.
William Hyde was a man of considerable importance among the settlers of Norwich, and was frequently elected as one of the townsmen, or selectmen. After he died his home lot was devised to his grandson, William Hyde, the second. And a part of it was owned by William Mansfield, a descendant of the latter; and was occupied by him as the site of his dwell­ing-house in 1859.
