The principal information sources for the HYDE family are "Four Generations of Descendants of Samuel Hyde of Newton, Mass.," by Hon. William Henry Harrison Stowell (NEHGR, Apr. 1917, pages 144ff) and A Partial Record of One Branch of The Hyde Family, privately published by Rufus S. Warner (1878) and reprinted by The Tuttle Compnay (1931, Rutland, VT). Documentary evidence of the parents of brothers Samuel HYDE and Jonathan HYDE is desired. A number of compilations have been reviewed which show them as sons of Robert HYDE and Alice CROMPTON, grandsons of William HYDE and Eleanor MOLINEUX, and great grandsons of Robert HYDE and Annie ARDERNE - with multiple connections to Royalty. However, the earlier ancestry differs, and substantive documentation has not been found for the ancestry, nor for the connection between the immigrants to America and their parents in England.
