HYDE Jane Jean

Notes:

About 1712 Thomas married Mary Hyde, widow of Richard Hyde n, who had died in 1710/11. She may have been a Rogers. Mary already had three children by her first husband: Richard Hyde II (ca. 1682), Elizabeth (ca. 1680) and Jean (ca. 1698 -1700). Jean would have been about 12 years old when her mother married Thomas Cotton and came to live on the Cotton plantation. Thomas had no children, but his brother Walter Cotton and wife Elizabeth had at least one son, whom they named Thomas Cotton after his uncle (?). Proximity brought romance, and Thomas married Jean Hyde as soon as their parents permitted it. She gave birth to eleven living children between 1717 and 1739. An interesting sidelight is that Jean's older brother Richard Hide III was for a time one of Blackboard's band of pirates, but gave it up when Edward Teach (Blackbeard) was killed in1718.
