Esther or Hester Hyde, most likely born in England approx 1627-29, married to John Post in Saybrook, CT 31 March 1652 [Town and Misc Records of Saybrook, CT]. He was baptised in Otham, Kent, England 13 September 1629, parents Stephen Post and Elinor Panton [NEHGR 160:33]. I have an old typewritten copy of the Saybrook Records, which shows a curious insertion after the main index. Between Vol 1 pages 16 and 20 there’s an entry for “Vol Q, pg QU” which states “John Post was married the last of March…1652. Margrit was born the 25th of Feb…1652. Elizabeth was born the 22 of Feb…1654. John Post was born 12 of April…1657. Jasan Post was born the 6 of Nov…1659.” Jasan, a male or female name from the Greek “to heal, healer”, may or may not have been a misreading of “Sarah”, most likely the reading is correct. It was not at all unusual at the time for a girl to be named Jasan and for her to have preferred being called Sarah.
Reuben Hyde Walworth wrote the seminal genealogy book, “Hyde Genealogy…from William Hyde of Norwich” the full text of which can be found in our books section (link below). In it, he mentions that the first four children were born in Saybrooke, then in 1660 the couple moved to Norwich, where their remaining children were born. He chooses to list the children as follows:
13. John, b. 12 April, 1657, at Saybrook, m. Sarah Reynolds. 14. Samuel, b. 8 March, 1668, at Norwich, m. Ruth Lathrop. 15. Margaret, b. 21 Feb., 1653, at Saybrook, m.. Caleb Abel. 16. Elizabeth, b. 22 Feb., 1655, at Saybrook. I have not been able to trace her further. 8he probably died unmarried. 17. Sarah, b. 6 Nov., 1659, at Saybrook, m. Capt. John Hough. 18. Mary, b. , 1662, at Norwich, m. Nathaniel Rudd. 19. Abigail, b. 6 Nov., 1664, at Norwich, d. in April, 1676. 20. Hannah, b. Oct., 1671, at Norwich. She probably died unm. 21. Lydia, b. 11 March, 1674, at Norwich. She m., 1, Abel Moore of New London, and 2, Joseph Harris of New London, and probably died s. p.2161
