  • Notes 
    • "The Hydes of Northampton County"paraphrased from the North Carolina Genealogy Society Journal May 1994:
      Richard Hyde was hired by James Colbert as a"Licensed Indian Trader." Richard's father, also known as RichardHyde, had also been employed by Colbert as a packhorseman. The elder Hyde was aformer pirate and member of Blackbeard's gang. Hyde quit his life of piracywhen Edward Teach (Blackbeard) was killed in 1718. While escorting theSuperintendent of Indian Affairs through Creek Territory, both theSuperintendent and the elder Hyde were severely beaten and disfigured by someCreek warriors when they were caught in bed with the Indians' wives.
      According to 'History of the North-AmericanIndians' by Adair, p.151:
      "The Muskhoge lately clipt off the ears oftwo white men for supposed adultery. One had been a disciple of Black Beard,the pirate...."
