(Harleian MS. 5801, fo. 49.) THE FAMILY OF HYDE. 113 I am not able to connect this family of Hyde with any of the families of the name who were settled in Cheshire, Dorsetshire, Lancashire, or Wiltshire. Nor have I attempted to trace the family fo Nottinghamshire. The Registers of Thurgarton do not extend back to the sixteenth century ; and no search has been made for the wills of these Nottinghamshire ancestors. Branches of this family were, however1 located in Lincolnshire and Leicestershire, and still remain in the latter county, though the family estates there have passed into other hands. The Hydes possessed considerable estates in Kent. In Dr. Harris's HistO'l''!J, vol. i., pp. 804-5, 1719, is a view of Bore Place, Sundrish, and Sharp's Place, the seats of John Hyde, Esq., who was also lord of the manors of Sundrish, Wield, and Millbrooks. The earliest entry of any Hyde in the Chiddingstone Register is in 1636, and in the Sundridge Register in 1665; in the Chevening Registers are no entries of Hyde. The following account of this family very considerably enlarges the Visitation Pedigree set out above. r. Hugh Hide of Thurgarton, Notts, Gent., the first-named in the Visitation Pedigree, living in the sixteenth century, was father of: rr. John Hyde of Thurgarton, who married a daughter of Leigh 0£ Addington, M. Surrey, and by her had issue: III. Bernard Hyde of Mincing Lane, London, merchant, a member of the Salters' Company; one of the Commissioners 0£ Excise to King Charles I. ; he purchased Bore Place and Milbroke 0£ Sir Percival Willoughby, Knt., at the beginning of the reign of James I. ; devisee of lands in Fulham and Richmond, and executor 0£ the will of his "brother" Michaell Meryall, citizen and salter 0£ London, 1624 (P.C.C., 29 Byrde). He died in July 1631. By his will, dated 7 and proved P.0.0., 29 July 1631 (83 St. John), he desires to be buried in St. Dunstan's in the East, London, and left £100 towards repairing that Church, and £5 to the 1Joor of the parish. His wife is to occupy his capital house in M iucing Lane for her life, or she may have her dwelling in his house at Little 11:ford i£ she prefer it. He gives his son Barnard Hyde £3000, which Mr. John Trott is to give as part 0£ his daughter's marriage portion, and all his cattle at Bore Place. He devises to his son Hum£rey Hyde in fee his lands in Langtoft and Baston, co. Lincoln. He married Ann daughter 0£ Humfry Walcot of London (second son of John Walcot of Walcot in the county of Salop, Esq.), and VOL, XXII. I 114 THE FAMILY OF HYDE, sister 0£ Hum£ry Walcot 0£ W alcot, Esq., Sheriff 0£ Shropshire in 1631 (see Pedigree 0£ Walcot in the Visitation of Shropshire 1623, IIarleian Society, vol. xxix., p. 476; Arms: Argent, a chevron between three chessrooks ermines), and by her had issue: (1) Bernard Hyde, 0£ whom next. (2) Hum£rey Hyde 0£ Langto£t, co. Lincoln ; devisee 0£ lands in Langtoft and Baston, co. Lincoln, under his £ather's will in 1631. The date 0£ his death is not known ; but he was dead before 1670. The Pedigree 0£ this family is given in Blore's Rutland, pp. 50-51. (3) John Hyde 0£ Sundridge Place, Esq.; born 1611; died unmarried 27 May, and buried at Sundridge 7 June 1677, aged 66. M.I. in Sundridge Church: "MS. JoH.A.NIS HYDE Armigeri, Cujus J us et Fas Vitre Duces, Hie Ille Vir bonus, Pietatis in Deum, Benignitatis in Amicos, Charitatis in Omnes, Eleemosynarum et Annorum Satur, Ccelebs requiescit. Ob.

By his will, dated 26 September 16'70, and proved in the Shoreham and Croydon Peculiar 28 June 167'7 by his nephew Humphrey Hyde, his residuary legatee and executor (Register Book, at Somerset House, fol. 469), he directs his body to be buried in the parish church 0£ St. Dunstan's in the East, near his brother Bernard Hyde, Esq., deceased; but this direction was evidently not carried out. He purchased the manors of Sundridge, Upland, and South Weald of Mr. Brooker, in the reign 0£ Charles I. In 1663 he gave a silver cup and paten to Sundridge Church; the cover is inscribed, "The guift 0£ John Hyde, Esq., 0£ this parish, Anno Dom. 1663" (c£. Oliurch Plate in Kent, part i., '70). In 1665 he subscribed £10 towards the new bells at Sundridge. During the civil wars he and Mr. Bernard Hyde seem to have received the money raised in Chiddingstone, and paid the same ''to-the Committee at Know le" for horses, arms, soldiers, etc.,-evidently £or the Parliament. (Chiddingstone Churchwardens' and Overseers' Books.) (4) William Hyde, died without issue. ( 5) Anne, died without issue. rv. Bernard Hyde, merchant 0£ London, and 0£ Bore Place; presumably a parliamentarian in the civil wars, for which cause he raised and received money in Chiddingstone conjointly with his brother ,John. In 1633-4 he (and not his son Sir Bernard Hyde, as stated in the Oliurcli Plate in Kent, p. 62) gave a silver cup with paten cover, with his arms and crest and initials engraved thereon, to Ohiddingstone Church. He died in January 1655, and was buried OF BORE PLACE AND SUNDRIDGE. 115 at St. Dunstan's in the East, London. He married Hester daughter of John Trott of London, merchant (see Pedigree of Trott in Visitation of London, 1634, Harleian Society, vol. :x:vii., p. 297; Arms: Paly o:£ six or and gules, on a canton argent a cross flory pierced of the first), and by her had issue: (1) Sir Bernard Hyde, Knight, of Bore Place, born 1633; knighted 30 April 1661 by King Charles II. In 1669 he gave a silver :flagon, and in 1675 a silver alms-dish, to Ohiddingstone Church; each has the arms of Hyde impaling Morley engraved on it, and the inscription, " Eccl'ii:e parochiali de Chiddingstone in agro Cantiano D.D.D. Bernardus Hyde Mil. de Boreplace," and the year. He was buried at Ohiddingstone 14 July 1685 ; but I have not yet found his will. Re married about 1661 Margaret daughter and coheir (with her half-sister Mary, CountesR of Derby) of Sir Wmiam Morley, K.B., of Halfnaked, co. Sussex, by his second wife Mary daughter of Sir Robert Heath, Knight, by whom he had issue an only son, who died an infant, and was buried at St. Dunstan's in the East, London, 12 May 1662. His widow survived him. Lady Margaret Hyde's will is dated 13 October 1690, and was proved with several codicils in P.O.O., 10 April 1701, by Sir William Morley, Knight, and Mrs. Cecily Osbaston, the executors (50 Dyer). She directs her body to be buried either at Boxgrove in Sussex, where she was christened and her parents are buried, or at Chiddingstone, where her husband was buried, or at St. Dunstan's, near Thames Street, where her husband's parents and her only child are buriedwhich place she is nearest to at her death. She makes bequests to a very large number 0£ relatives, who are named in the will.

(son of John Hyde, and grandson o:f Savill Hyde 0£ Sundridge, who died April 1741). Bernard Hyde was the last 0£ the family who owned Bore Place and Millbrooks, in co. Kent; and only a :few years later his cousin .John Hyde parted with Sundridge ; and then all the old Hyde estates in Kent left the family. Members of the :family are still living in the counties of Leicester and Nottingham and elsewhere ; but so far as Kent is concerned, it is unnecessary to trace the descent 0£ the Hydes any :further. It only remains to say that PEDIGREES 0£ the Hydes 0£ Bore Place and Suudridge are given in the Visitation of London, 1633-5 ; Le N eve's Kn􀀤qhts; Nichols's Leiceste1·shire, iii., p. 109; and Blore's Rutland, pp. 50-1. Their Pedigree must pl'obably have been entered up at the last Visitation of Kent, which is preserved only in the College of Arms. Their ARMS were : Gules, a saltire or between four bezants, a chief ermine. CREST: An unicorn's head, couped argent, armed and man.eel or, collared vaire or and gules. These were exemplified by Sir William Segar, Knight, Garter, 16 September 1609. For the purposes of this memoir 0£ the Hydes I have searched carefully the Parish Registers of Sund.ridge, Chiddingstone, and Ohevening, in co. Kent, and the Wills and Administrations at Somerset House.
