HYDEN FAMILIES

This page is devoted to information on the HYDEN families which I collected while pursuing the HYTEN and HITEN families. Several branches of the latter were actually connected to the HYDENs. While I collected HYDEN information I did not always follow normal genealogy protocol, that is, I sometimes connected names where I supposed them to belong rather than where I absolutely knew they belonged. It was a correction to a part of my HYDEN tree that connected a branch of HYTENs to the HYDENs. It is my goal to trace HYTENs thus I was happy for that help, and now I hope for yours.

JANUARY, 2019, UPDATES

I have updated pages 2, 4, 5, 5a, 5b, 5c, and 7 based on new information I got last fall from Joyce Dishroon. The information was contained in the collected works of Barbara Long organized in 2014.
There were a few new names and lots of dates. I trust that her work was much more thorough than mine since I depended on published research rather than original documents. There were a couple instances when I thought my dates might have been good so in those instances I included both dates.
My HYDEN research was done when discovered that some branches in my HYTEN family were headed by men named Hyden. First I verified the ancestry that particular Hyden-Hyten. Then I looked to see if the head of other unconnected HYTEN branches might also be Hydens. I ended up with five branches headed by a  Hyden. All these are noted on these HYDEN trees. (All Hyten-Hyden branches go back to rural counties in a time when many people couldn't read or write thus depended upon the recorder to spell their name.)
My work here was posted in order to help Hydens find their place in the HYDEN family tree. It becomes the job of  each person to further verify names and dates, etc.
Feel free to call me if you have difficulty following through these charts. Also if you can provide further or corrected information as many people have used my information as a starting point. I don't want anyone to have to chase after wrong information.
