Baldwin Wake, Lord of Bourne, appears as # 9 in Line 184A of AR7.

The short title for AR7 is, of course:

_Ancestral Roots, 7th Edition_

And the long title is:

_Ancestral Roots of Certain American Colonists Who Came To America
Before 1700; (Formerly Ancestral Roots of Sixty Colonists Who Came To
New England Between 1623 & 1650): The Lineage of Alfred the Great,
Charlemagne, Malcolm of Scotland, Robert the Strong and Some of Their
Descendants._

Frederick Lewis Weis (1895-1966), Walter Lee Sheppard, Jr. (1911- )
and David Faris

Baltimore, Maryland, Genealogical Publishing Company, Inc., 7th Edition
(1992); reprinted in Jan 1996; ISBN # 0-8063-1207-6.

This is one of those books that anyone who is serious about Medieval
Royal and Noble Genealogy should have on the short shelf near the
computer.

AR7 is not error-free by any means, as many of us well know.

Line 184A has been "Prepared by Douglas Richardson". I'm not taking any
sort of cheap shot at Douglas.

"Just the facts Ma'am."

But, can we trust this line, which leads from Baldwin Wake [d. 1282] to
Gilbert FitzRichard [d. 1114-1117] de Clare and his wife Adeliza de
Clermont? Has this line been thoroughly vetted?

Baldwin Wake is the ancestor of many of the folks reading this, whether
they know it or not.

We all look forward to the new version of AR7 forthcoming from David
Faris and Douglas Richardson.

When might we expect to see it?

The 2nd edition of Plantagenet Ancestry by Dr. David Faris is currently
at the printers and I expect it will be available for purchase through
NEHGS in Boston in about 30-45 days. The next book in this series is
the forthcoming Magna Carta Ancestry under the co-authorship of Dr.
Faris and myself. Barring major obstacles, MCA should be available for
purchase this coming spring. We are currently in the process of
printing and proofing the final draft. Once MCA is completed, Dr.
Faris and I plan to turn our attention to the next book in the series,
namely Baronial Ancestry. We're already about half finished with the
Baronial Ancestry book. It will feature descents from all the major
baronial families of England from the time of the Conquest forward.

The Wake descent in Ancestral Roots, 7th edition, which you asked about
is still sound as far as I know. There is no connection, by the way,
between Ancestral Roots, 7th edition, edited by Walter Lee Sheppard,
Jr., and the series of books Dr. Faris and I are doing. Dr. Faris and
I have both assisted Mr. Sheppard in the past but neither of us are
associated with him currently. I recommend you contact Mr. Sheppard
regarding the status of future editions of that book.

I trust that answers your question. Sincerely, Douglas Richardson

Yes, it does. Thank you kindly. Except, will Line 184A appear in any

As with many other participants, I am looking forward to the
upcoming edition of Plantagenet Ancestry, as well as other forthcoming
works (e.g. MCA). I do not know if the new edition of PA includes
Samuel Hyde of Newton, Massachusetts, but [unless there is a serious
flaw in the following table] his ancestry supports his inclusion.

The source abbreviations used below:

[PA, p. 270 - pedigree of Tuchet, Lewknor]
199. Margaret de Ros - descendant of Edward I [PA, p. 270, as above]

Additional details re: the ancestry of Samuel Hyde have not been
included above, as they are fairly extensive and do not directly bear on
the issue of his descent from Edward I of England.

I would appreciate any feedback as to errors that may be noted
above, or any suggestions or comments especially concerning any other
connections of Samuel Hyde with Edward I or his descendants. If anyone
has e-mail or other contact with David Faris, please pass this along as
his comments would certainly be helpful (and appreciated).

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

My Uncle Geoffrey St. Aubyn Wake, passed away earlier this year in
Australia. He was according to Debrett''s a direct descendent of Hereward
the Wake and the last of his line as is only son died at birth.

Is Baldwin Wake in that same line??

(This is not a Cosby question.)

I have not heard of this book before, which given the date is hot off
the press. But as someone with a very considerable Maryland ancestry, it
interests me greatly. Can someone tell me something about it? What
families it covers, what references it relies on, how scholarly it is,
etc.

<snip>

Joseph Foster's Pedigrees of the County Families of England: Lancashire (1873),
pedigree of Gerard of Bryn, shows that your Elizabeth Gerard #15 was married to
Richard Bold of Bold and not as you show. Perhaps there was more than one marriage
for Elizabeth? At least this shows a link that needs further research.

Are these two Messrs. Hyde any relation to William Hyde (ca 1610-6 Jan.
1681/2) of Hartford/Saybrook and Norwich Connecticut?

Hi Chris -

Unfortunately, I do not know what if any relation William Hyde of
Norwich held with the Hydes of Norbury, co. Cheshire. In Hyde Genealogy
(Albany, 1864), Reuben Walworth acknowledged the existence of the
families of Samuel Hyde and of Jonathan Hyde, his brother, but stated
(p. 1) that William Hyde _is not certainly known to have been connected
with any of the Hyde families who came to this country from England,.._
Our _friends_ who created Ancestral Files actually merged information
re: William Hyde (Father of Samuel) with that of William Hyde of
Norwich, making it appear the same gentleman came to America and finally
expired at a very advanced age (100+ if I recall from AF).

With regard to Samuel Hyde and Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon, they
appear to have a mutual ancestor in Robert Hyde of Norbury (d.ca. 1528).

1. Robert Hyde of Norbury, d. 1528, m. 1) Margaret Holand;
2) or 3) Katherine Boydell

1. (by 1)) Hamnet Hyde, m. Margaret Warren

1. Robert Hyde, m. Jane Davenport

[from whom, Samuel Hyde, et al. - see prior post]

1. (by 2) or 3) Laurence Hyde, m. 1) Mary Hartgill;
m. 2) Anne Sibell

1. (by 2) Robert
2. Henry, m. Mary Langford

1. Edward Hyde, cr. Earl of Clarendon


The bulk of the above is from the Visitation of Cheshire (1580),
but the direct connection from Henry Hyde to Edward, Earl of Clarendon
is per the pedigree of Hyde from The Hyde Family, by Florence Hyde
(1967). Given the generations in this line which produced offspring by
later as opposed to earlier spouses in the line leading to Edward Hyde,
it is not improbable that it would have taken so few generations to
reach the birth of Edward Hyde ca. 1608, although it does raise the
possibility that a generation may have been skipped after Henry Hyde.

Good luck, and good hunting.

Are any of these Hyde families related to Oliver Hyde (ca 1450-1516) of
South Denchworth, Berkshire? Oliver was the son of John and Alice
(Liddiard) Hyde. He married Ann, daughter of Thomas Lovingcott, and was
the father of six children: William (married to Margery Carter), Margaret,
Alice (married to John Yates), Anne, Thomas (married to Elizabeth Welles)
and John.

Any connection - any help at all - greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

UNEDITED copyrighted NOTES:

Effigies twenty-five inches, Oliver Hyde, 1516,
FROM: Monumental Brasses of Berkshire
(14th to 17th Century), by Henry T. Morley,
page 98.

The "eminent Hyde family of Berkshire" is referred
to on page 282, among other pages, of The Victoria
History of the County of Berkshire, Vol. 2, . . .
The original estate of the HYDE family, from which
they took their name, was a hide of land in the manor
of Circourt generally called 'La Hyde de Southcote'.
To this they seem to have added by purchasing land
in the north of the parish, so that the manor of HYDE
was said in A.D. 1397 to be at North Denchworth.
They probably held their lands of the manors of Circourt
and South Denchworth till they themselves acquired those
manors; afterwards they are generally said to hold all
their lands of the Abbot of Abringdon. The HYDE
family claimed in the 17th Century to have been established
here since the days of Canute, but the first Hyde who is
known to have held land in South Denchworth is Warin,
who lived in the middle of the 13th century. . . .
A source in the History is HYDE DEEDS quoted
by Clarke. . . .

The HYDE OF LONGWORTH, is found in
THE LANDED GENTRY, going back to:
John de la Hyde (an estate in South Denchworth
conferred upon his ancestor, according to tradition,
by King Canute), died 13 July A.D. 1135, and
was survived by his son:
Ralph, (died 09 Sep A.D. 1156), leaving a son and heir:
1. John, called De Cella, from the Abbey's cell at
Wallingford, Abbot of St. Albans 1195-1214.
2. Gilbert, who left issue,
1. John
2. ROGER, HIS HEIR, OF WHOM PRESENTLY.
3. William
4. Fulk

Sir Roger de la Hyde (son of Gilbert, above), who
(commissioned in A.D. 1217 to enroll his relatives
and friends under the banner of the Earl Regent) in
A.D. 1234 is found holding the manor of La Hyde
(part of the Royal Honour of Wallingford).
He left issue, two sons:
1. RICHARD (SIR), OF WHOM PRESENTLY.
2. Roger (Sir)
Sir Richard de la Hyde (son of Sir Roger de la Hyde),
died 11 Jan 1278, left by his wife Phillipa, three sons:
1. Warren, who left two sons:
1. JOHN, HIS HEIR, OF WHOM PRESENTLY.
2. Peter
2. Richard (Sir).
3. Robert

John, (son of Warren, above); living A.D. 1302, left two sons:
Michael, and William de la Hyde, Lord also of the Manor of
Longworth-cum-Charney (adjoining La Hyde), living A.D. 1316,
whose son and heir was:
William Heygarston de la Hyde, died ca. A.D. 1361, who by his
wife, Petronilla, had, with other issue:
John "atte Hyde de Southdenchworth", living A.D. 1350,
"jam defunctus" A.D. 1407, having had issue:
John atte Hyde, of South Denchworth, who died 13 May 1416,
leaving a son:
John Hyde, heir of La Hyde, born ca. A.D. 1399;
died 14 July 1448; by his lst wife Graciana (living A.D. 1420),
he left a son:
John Hyde, of South Denchworth, Berkshire, England,
living A.D. 1447-8; married Alice or Agnes, daughter
of John Lidiard, of Glympton. She died 29 May 1478.
He died 19 Sep 1487, having had, with other issue:
Oliver Hyde, of South Denchworth, born A.D. 1461;
died 04 Oct 1516; married Agnes, (died 05 May 1523),
daughter and heir of Thomas Lovingcott, of Lovedays
and of Elmington, Oxfordshire, England . . .

There are variations from this point forth, as also noted
in connecting into your information. Variations are
found from BERRY'S PEDIGREES and as shown
on the old Archive Family Group Sheets now housed
at the Joseph Smith, Jr. Memorial Building in downtown
SLC, Utah.

This pedigree was worked on extensively in the past by
the deceased Lt. Col. Calvin I. Kephart, Ph.D, Arlington,
VA [USA] (connected intimately with The National
Genealogical Society - USA). Also, by The Jersey
John Hyde Association of Cincinnati, Ohio, for the recovery
of the estate of one John Hyde of New Jersey, believed
to be in the Bank of England, and amounting, it is said,
to sixty or seventy millions of dollars. They spent money,
time and effort and researched Hydes in England;
copy kept at the Historical Society Building of
Mt. Healthy, Hamilton County, Ohio, USA.

I appear to have this Leigh in my wife's line also:

Sir Percival Leigh (b abt 1444 Cheshire,Lyme - d ?)
Joan Leigh (b abt 1477 - d aft 1557) m Richard (John) Tylden.

That's all I have on Percival Leigh himself. I will say that this line
leads to then-future US presidential candidate Samuel Tilden who lost to
Rutherford Hays (under the spectre of skulduggery). This same Samuel
Tilden founded the New York City Public Library and whose foundation
(Tilden Foundation) funds the library today.

The Leigh's were apparently a prominent family in 13th century Cheshire
and I think there's a whole book on nothing but Cheshire Leighs.

Your Tildens are from Kent. I do not believe that they will connect with
Cheshire Tildens and Leighs. What is your source for this connections?

Was hoping that some of the experts might have answered this. The surname of
the family at Lyme is LEGH rather than as spelled in yours and the other posts.

Also I cannot find the name Percival anywhere in this family. The predominant
male name was Piers which some have modernized to Peter, but those of this
period used Piers. I cannot find anything in the Visitations or Foster's Legh
pedigree of any with a daughter who married a Tylden/Tilden. The Piers who had
children born in the 1470's was Piers VI who as a 12 year old in 1467 married
Eleanor Savage of Rock Savage, Clifton, Cheshire. Their oldest child was Piers
VII born 1479 (see: Lady Newton, The House of Lyme from Its Foundation to the
End of the Eighteenth Century, (London, William Heinemann, 1917, p. 11).

Kay Allen's post suggested that Tilden to Legh may be inccorect. There was a
Leigh family in Thurleigh, Bedford, but I think the male line was extinct by
this period (hope someone will correct this if wrong). Without knowledge of
your sources, it is difficult to point your further research into this. Sorry
not to be of more positive help.

Best regards,

Well, it's more a case of the Republicans stealing more votes than the
Democrats did. It was the dirtiest presidential election in American
history, with plenty of blame to go around. Whole books have been
written on this election.

Not quite. When Tilden (a highly successful lawyer and investor as well
as a politician) died in 1886 his will left his entire estate (he had
never married) to a trust, the Tilden Trust, to establish a great public
library. His relatives promptly broke the will (he was a corporate and
trial lawyer, not a trusts and estates guy, obviously). One of the heirs
then gave $2,250,000 and Tilden's vast private library to the otherwise
empty trust. In 1895, the Tilden Trust merged with New York's two
leading libraries, the Astor Library, richly endowed by John Jacob
Astor, and the Lennox Library, equally richly endowed by James Lennox.
These formed "the New York Public Library, Astor, Tilden and Lennox
Foundations." Between 1901 and 1910 the city of New York built the
magnificent building on Fifth Avenue and 42nd Street (where, happily, I
will be going today to inspect the newly moved Local History and
Genealogy Division). Thus the city owns the building but the Foundation
owns the books. So while Tilden has a major place in the history of the
NYPL, the greatest library in the world not funded by a sovereign
government, he can hardly be called the founder.

Tilden's house on Grammercy Park, by the way, is now the National Arts
Club, and, if you can wangle an invitation, well worth a visit as a
relic of the gilded age. The bar has a Tiffany glass ceiling that will,
guaranteed, knock your socks off.

You know that our Imperial Palace here at my hometown PetrĂ³polis is a
rather modest building? And it was the home of a Capetian prince, our
late emperor Dom Pedro II.

I know that in "The ancestry of Lorenzo Ackley," edited by Jacobus,
1960, no parentage is ascribed to the Samuel Hyde who died 12 Sep 1698 in
Cambridge Village (now Newton), or his brother, Jonathan, with whom he
came from London to Boston in April 1639.
This descent certainly cannot be inferred from Robert W. Barnes
recent book "British roots of Maryland families.
Does anyone know of any evidence bearing on the parentage of Samuel
Hyde of Newton?
