and Sarah Jackson Family

Research Report & Document Appendices

Focus of the Research

Approximate information on the family was found on the FamilySearch Family Tree of

William Wood Hyde and Sarah Jackson, however it was unsourced and often lacked detail.1 The

goal of this project was to verify the details in family tree, confirm the parent-child relationships

of William Wood Hyde and their children and to extend back to Sarah Jackson’s parents Elias

Jackson and Edith Hyde.

Family of William Wood Hyde and Sarah Jackson

Considerable information has been found on William Wood Hyde and Sarah Jackson and

three of their children, however more research must be completed on Martha Jane.

William Wood Hyde More research will need to be conducted on William Wood Hyde. According to

FamilySearch Family Tree, William was born in 1802 in North Carolina, was married to Sarah

Jackson in 1824 in Tennessee, and died in 1832 in Marion County, Illinois.2 There are no birth

records covering this period and religious denomination is unknown making it impossible to

search for christening records.

There were no likely candidates for Joseph or William Hyde in the 1810 or 1820 U.S.

censuses in North Carolina or Tennessee. William supposedly married Sarah Jackson in 1824 in

Perry County, Tennessee and gave birth to Joseph Hyde the following year in the same county.

There are no birth or marriage records early enough to for the marriage or birth. Land deed and

survey books were consulted to find Joseph or William purchasing land in Perry County which

would support a marriage in that locality. In 1824, Joseph Hide, possibly William’s father, was

found purchasing a 10 acre tract of land in Perry County, Tennessee. William Hide was a witness

for the deed .3 It is highly probable that this is the correct William and Joseph Hide because they

are in the Perry County, Tennessee near the time of the marriage and the birth of Joseph.

Searches of the 1830 U.S. census for William and Sarah were unsuccessful. It is likely

they had already migrated to Illinois by this point in time. William supposedly died in Marion

County which would imply he also lived there. As such Marion County, Illinois land records

were searched for the surname Hyde. However all searches yielded no results.

The Record of the Services of Illinois Soldiers in the Black Hawk War, 1831-32 was

searched for possible military service resulting in death. There was one William Hyde, but his

information did not match.

[C4]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Baptisms for the Dead, 1840-1845 and

1855-1876 Baptism for the Dead heir index were searched. There was no record of William’s

proxy baptism. The only solid connection between William Hyde, his wife Sarah, and his

children comes through Sarah’s remarriage to Gilburd Summe that lists her as Mrs. Hyde and

through William and Joseph’s patriarchal blessing index cards which state their parents as

William Hyde and Sarah Jackson.4

Sarah Jackson According to FamilySearch FamilyTree, Sarah Jackson was born on 30 October 1802 in

Rutherford County, North Carolina to Edith Stanley and Elias Jackson. She married William

Wood Hyde in 1824 along the Cumberland River in Perry County, Tennessee. William died in

1832 in Illinois. She died in 1862 in Minersville, Beaver, Utah. Family tradition suggests that

Sarah converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which was the reason behind

her move to Utah.5

After a quick check of major compiled sources including DAR North Carolina and

Tennessee Records, the New York Public Library catalog, PERSI, and FamilySearch surname

and book catalogs, it was determined to turn to the census. First the 1840 and 1850 U.S. censuses

were searched in Illinois for Sarah Hyde as the head of house. There were no positive results.

Based on the lack of results it was assumed that Sarah remarried since the death of her husband.

No Rutherford County, North Carolina records exist for the early enough to record her

birth. The FamilySearch North Carolina Birth Index, 1800-2000 was searched with no success.6

However, her father Elias was found in 1810 with seven children, three of whom were daughters

in Sarah’s age category.7

Since possible birth records were not readily available, the searches turned to Sarah and

William’s 1823 marriage in Perry County, Tennessee. Perry County was established in 1818,

however marriage records are not available until 1865 due to a courthouse fire.8 Two

FamilySearch databases were searched for the marriage: Tennessee County Marriages, 1790-

1950 and Tennessee Marriages, 1796-1950. Neither databases yielded positive results. Although

no marriage record has been found, Perry County is a plausible location because William’s

father, Joseph, purchased a plot of land in the county on 2 June 1824. William acted as a witness

for the purchase.9 However, Jackson County is a fair distance from Perry County. Additionally,

family legend states that the couple was married along the Cumberland River, but that is

impossible if they were married in Perry County because the river flows west towards Jackson

County, not south towards Perry County.10

Following the nil marriage searches, the focus of the couple turned to Illinois. First, the

1825 and 1835 Illinois state censuses were searched. There were no likely candidates to William

or Sarah Hyde in either census. Then the Marion County Land records, 1823-1942, Grantor and

Grantee Indexes were searched for the surname Hyde. Searches of both indexes were negative.

Additionally, the Jo Daviess County Land records, 1829-1902, Grantor and Grantee Indexes

were searched for the surname Hyde with no positive results. Because there is no record of the

Hyde family purchasing land in the counties they were traditionally thought to live in and due to

the lack of death records during this period, the searches moved to finding Sarah’s second

marriage.

The FamilySearch Illinois Marriages, 1815-1935 index was searched for Sarah Hyde

because she likely would have kept her married name following the death of her husband. Sarah

was found marrying Gilburd Summe on 17 July 1845 in Jo Daviess County, Illinois. The original

record was consulted and it reported that “Mrs. Hyde” married Gilburd Summe on the above

date.11 Since she is listed as Mrs. Hyde, it is confirmed that this is her second marriage.

With addition of a new surname, it was determined to search through early records of the

Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Early Church Information File was consulted

for information on Sarah Summe. Her index cards record that she was born 30 October 1802 in

Rutherford County, North Carolina to Elias Jackson and Ede. She received her patriarchal

blessing on 1 March 1851 in Salt Lake City and lived in Utah County at the time of the 1850

U.S. census enumeration. Through the vital information on her patriarchal blessing index card,

her birth information and parents are confirmed. Also, it shows she had migrated to Utah by

1850 and indicates where to search for her in the census.12

Following the Early Church Information File, the Mormon Pioneer Overland Travel

Database was searched to pinpoint Sarah’s migration from the Midwest to Utah. Sarah was

found traveling with the Jedediah M. Grant – Willard Snow Company that departed on 19 July

1847 and arrived in Utah on 4 October 1847.13 Gilburd was not a member of this company, but a

quick search determined that he was a member of Brigham Young’s vanguard company of

pioneers.14 Although Sarah was traveling without her husband, she was not without family. Her

son, William also appears in the list of pioneers migrating in this company.15

With the confirmation of Sarah’s migration to Utah, the focus returned to the U.S. census

beginning in 1850 in Utah County, Utah Territory. Sarah and Gilburd were found in Utah

County residing next to Sarah’s son Joseph and his wife Tabitha.16 By 1860, the Somme’s

moved to Beaver City, Beaver, Utah.17 They were still residing next to Joseph, Tabitha, and their

children and Sarah’s son William and his family also residing next to the Sarah and Gilburd.18

Sarah was not found in the 1870 U.S. census. It was reported that she died in Minersville,

Beaver, Utah in 1862.19 No vital records exist in Beaver County at the time of Sarah’s death, but

the cemetery’s sexton’s office may have record of the death.

In addition to searching for Sarah’s vital information, the Nauvoo Temple Endowments

for the Living, 1845-46 and the Nauvoo Temple Baptisms for the Dead 1840-1845 were

searched to discover if Sarah received her endowments in Nauvoo and if she acted as proxy in

any baptisms. Both searches were nil.

Martha Jane Hyde More research will need to be conducted on this child. There was little information about

Martha Jane. She was born in 1823 in Indiana and died in 1838 in an unknown location.20

Indiana is an unlikely birthplace because Sarah and William are known to have been residing in

Tennessee.21 No family tradition or record found has indicated the family lived in Indiana. If

Martha was indeed their daughter, she likely would have been in Illinois while living with her

family at the time of her 1838 death.22

Joseph Lorenzo Hyde Joseph was easily traced through the U.S. censuses from 1850-1900. In 1850, Joseph and

his wife, Tabitha were found living next to his mother and step-father in Utah County, Utah

Territory.23 Joseph was 26 and Tabitha was 18; based on these ages it was likely afirst marriage

for both individuals. By 1860, the family had moved to Beaver City, Beaver, Utah where they

lived between Joseph’s mother and step-father and his younger brother William.24 By this point,

Joseph was the father of four children: Joseph A., Martha J., Smitha, and William H. Joseph’s

two oldest children were born in California which indicates that the family moved to California

and back to Utah between 1850 and1860. In 1870, the family was found in Provo, Utah, Utah.

By now, there were seven children living at home.25 The family proved to be migratory as is seen

in the 1880 U.S. census when they appear in Ely & McIntyre Mills, Juab, Utah.26

In the censuses, Joseph’s age is listed consistently within two years of the expected

decade. His birthplace is always listed as Tennessee and in the 1900 U.S. census, it is listed that

he was born February 1825.27 According to FamilySearch, Joseph and Tabitha both died prior to

the 1910 U.S. census which was confirmed when neither individual was found in the 1910 U.S.

census.

The Early Church Information File was searched. Joseph’s patriarchal blessing index card

further confirmed his birth information. It recorded that Joseph Hyde was born 1 Feb 1825 in

Perry County, Tennessee to William and Sarah Hyde.28 Joseph’s marriage information has not

been confirmed. Since Nephi, Juab, Utah was Joseph’s last known residence, the Nephi City

sexton’s record was searched for his death. Joseph’s register entry listed that he died on 27

August 1902 and was buried in Vine Bluff Cemetery on 30 August 1902. Additionally, it stated

that he was born on 1 February 1825 in Perry County, Tennessee to Sarah Jackson Hyde and

William Hyde.29

In addition to confirming Joseph’s parentage and vital information, the Mormon Pioneer

Overland Travels database was consulted to find when he migrated to Utah. However, there were

no positive results. He was not in the Jedediah M. Grant – Willard Snow Company with his

mother and brother, nor was he in the Brigham Young’s vanguard company. More research will

be done to learn when he came to Utah and which company he was a part of.

Edith Hyde

Due to the lack of birth records in early Tennessee and the unsuccessful search for family

related records in Illinois, the search for Edith was not hopeful. In addition to lack of records,

FamilySearch records that Edith died in 1846 in Winter Quarters, Douglas, Nebraska. Her

FamilySearch record also included a husband, Isaac Grundy and a daughter, Sarah.30 Although

records were kept in Winter Quarters, they are far from complete. A google search of “Edith

Hyde and Isaac Grundy” resulted in the discovery a letter written in 1959 by Isaac Grundy’s

granddaughter, Frances. The letter describes how Frances inherited a black satin lined box that

contained two patriarchal blessings. One given to Edith and the other to Isaac. A note was found

on the back of Isaac’s blessing. It stated:

“Sarah Lucinda Grundy was born August 8, 1846.

Edith Grundy died September 7, 1846, at the age of 19 years and eight months and twenty-five

days.

"This is my request, if I shall not live to do the work. I want some friend to do it for me. I want

Edity sealed to me for all eternity and all the blessings of the Priesthood conferred upon us, by

some friend. This I ask of a friend."

I shall keep the commandments of God.

Isaac Grundy.”

In addition to this vital information, the letter records that Isaac Grundy served a mission

to Michigan and Wisconsin during 1845 and brought many converted saints with him to Winter

Quarters in 1846 where he attended to his wife at her death.31

The FamilySearch Illinois, County Marriages, 1810-1934 database was searched for

Edith’s marriage to Isaac Grundy. Their index entry states that the couple was married on 6

November 1845 in Jo Daviess County, Illinois.32

William E. Hyde There are no Marion County birth records for the period of William’s birth, so the

objective evolved to move forward to available LDS Church records. The Mormon Pioneer

Overland Travels database was consulted and William was found as a member of the 1847

Jedediah M. Grant – Willard Snow Company that departed on 19 July 1847 from Winter

Quarters and arrived in Utah on 4 October 1847. His mother was also in this company. He was

also found as a member of the 1856 Rescue Companies.33

Next the Early Church Information Files were consulted. William’s patriarchal blessing

card indicates that he was born 23 September 1832 in Marion County, Illinois to William and

Sarah Jackson.34

Searches in the 1850-1880 U.S. censuses were straightforward. In 1850, William was

found in Utah County as a single man working as a laborer.35 By 1860, he was married to

Angelina Hyde and had three children: William, Edith, and Ellen. The two oldest children were

born in California indicating that the family had moved to California and back to Utah between

1850 and 1860. This also correlates with Joseph’s family because his two oldest children were

also born in California between 1850 and 1860. In addition to Angelina and the three children,

there is a 20 year old girl named Mary A. who was born in Missouri. Due to the lack of stated

relationships in the 1860 Census, it is assumed that Mary is a possible second wife. They were

residing in Beaver City, Beaver, Utah next to William’s brother, Joseph and his mother and step-

father.36 By 1870, William and his family moved away from family and to Salt Lake City, Utah.

The information recorded in the 1870 U.S. census is consistent with 1850 and 1860 and there are

two additional children. However, Mary A. is no longer in the household.37

By 1880, the William and Angeline were living in separate households, but they were

still married. William was found in Salt Lake City, Utah with his wife Mary and three children.

This William and Mary have the same age gap as the William and Mary in the 1860 U.S. census

which supports the theory that William was a polygamist with two wives.38 Angeline Hyde was

found as the head of house in Chicken Creek, Juab, Utah with five children living in her

household and her son, William living next door.39

FamilySearch indicated that William died in Mancos, Montezuma, Colorado in 1894.

There are no death records available for this locality. A google search was conducted and led to a

blog about the “Hole in the Rock” pioneers that included biographical information about William

and his family. Although much of the information on the blog needs to be verified, it does

include new and important information on the Hyde family. Here is a brief summary: William

and his family were called by the Church of the Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to settle the San

Juan region of Utah and the southwestern portion of Colorado. They left northern Utah in the fall

of 1880. William established four forts over the following fourteen years. In 1884, they lost their

farm and home in Colorado resulting in Angeline moving back to Utah where she remained

estranged from her husband until her death.40 An obituary provided by William’s grandsons is

also included on the site. It indicates that he died 13 September 1894 in Mancos, Montezuma,

Colorado and that his 62nd birthday would have been on 23 September 1894.

Family of Elias Jackson and Edith Stanley

Elias Jackson More research will need to be conducted on Elias Jackson. Towards the beginning of the

research process a biography of Elias Jackson was found; it referenced multiple documents

including censuses, land deeds, and a court case. However, these documents were not clearly

cited to the research turned to locating and verifying the sources. The biography indicated that

Elias appeared in Burke County, North Carolina in the 1800 U.S. census; he owned land on

Crooked Creek that was purchased with North Carolina land grants #3445 and #3446 and sold

that land in 1810 after which he and his family moved to Jackson County, Tennessee; he

purchased 10 acres of land in Jackson County on 7 November 1815; he lived in Jackson County,

Tennessee until his death which was before 1850; and his children were named in the lawsuit,

“Alice Pippen Clemens vs. the Estate of Elias Jackson.”41 This biography laid out the research on

Elias.

No record has been found for his 1795 marriage to Edith Stanley. However, Elias was

found living in Burke County, North Carolina in 1800 with a female age 16-25 and a female

under 10 years old.42 Since Sarah was born in Rutherford County, North Carolina in 1802, it was

determined to search the 1810 U.S. census in Rutherford County. Elias Jackson was found as the

head of house in 1810 in Rutherford County with seven possible children including three females

under the age of ten one of which could account for Sarah.43 Next, the Rutherford County Deeds,

1779-1962 were consulted to find and confirm the land sales recorded in the biography. Elias

was found purchasing a tract of land from Stephen Morgan in 1809, but the land sale was not

recorded until 18 March 1811. It was witnessed by Joseph Jackson and Nancy Stanley.44 Elias

sold the same tract of land on 12 October 1810 to John Hood for $125.

By 1820, Elias was living in Jackson County, Tennessee.45 Since the Jacksons moved

between 1810 and 1820 it determined to search the Jackson County land records for a purchase

of land during that period. The Jackson County Deed books until 1872 are only available in the

Tennessee, so 10 acres referenced in the biography could not be confirmed. However, the

Jackson County, Tennessee: Ranger Book 1817-1860 showed that on 9 March 1842, Elias took

up stray cattle on “Rush ford of fline creek.”46 Additionally, Elias was found as a head of house

on the 1830 and 1840 U.S. censuses in Jackson County, Tennessee.47 He was not in the 1850

U.S. census which supports his death prior to the enumeration of the 1850 U.S. census.

The Jackson County Chancery and Circuit minutes from 1840-1960 and the transcripts of

the county, chancery, and circuit courts from 1839-1915 were searched for the case “Alice

Pippen Clemens vs. the Estate of Elias Jackson.” The search was unsuccessful. It is possible that

the case file is only available in the Jackson County Courthouse. The “Church, Family, Bible,

and Tombstone records of Jackson County” were also searched for any information regarding the

deaths of Elias or Edith; the searches were unsuccessful.

Edith Stanley More research will need to be conducted on Edith Stanley.

The Jackson Children An additional session of research will be required to confirm and discover information on the

Jackson children. While searching through the court records, numerous cases involving Jacksons

were noted and scanned for future analysis. The cases most frequently deal with Eli J Jackson,

Elias Jackson Jr., and Silas Redmond Jackson, all of whom are listed as Elias and Edith’s

children. There are also multiple cases involving Maholy Jackson, wife of Elias Jr.

Recommendations for Continued Research 1. Analyze court records relating to Silas Redmond Jackson and Elias Jackson.

2. Track Frances Grundy Callahan’s descendants to find if the original patriarchal blessings

of Edith and Isaac Grundy still exist. If they do exist, request a digital copy.

3. Order the patriarchal blessings of Sarah Jackson, William Hyde, and Joseph Hyde to

verify the information on the Early Church Information File index card and to see if there

is any other genealogically significant information.

4. Study Saga of San Juan by Cornelia Adams Perkins to learn more information on the San

Juan Mission, to verify information on William Hyde, and to be directed to additional

sources found in bibliographical information.

5. Search “Wills, inventories and administrators’ settlements, v. A-B 1872-1891 and v. C-D

1891-1914, FHL 985269-985269” for the settlement of Edith Jackson’s estate.
