Hyde, Captain Walter

1735 - 1776  (41 years)

• Name	Hyde, Walter   [2]
  	Named in his father's will. [1]
  Prefix	Captain
  Birth	17 Feb 1735	Norwich, New London, Connecticut   [3]
  Christening	23 Feb 1735	Franklin Congregational Church, Franklin, New London, Connecticut   [4]
  	Formerly the Second Church in Norwich. Record does not name parents.
  Gender	Male
  Military Service	1776	Connecticut   [5, 6]
  	Walter was the Captain of an independent company of soldiers who marched to New York City in 1776 in Col. Erastus Woolcot's Regiment where Walter died. A list of the members of his company is here: https://archive.org/details/rollslistsofconn08conn/page/148
  Death	18 Sep 1776	Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut
  	There is confusion about the place he died; some sources say Greenwich, New York, some say simply Greenwich, but others say Horseneck. Since Horseneck is a name (now outdated) for a place in Greenwich, Connecticut, I have listed Greenwich, Connecticut as the place he died.
  Burial	Old Cemetery, Lebanon, New London County, Connecticut   [7]
  	Walter is honored by two stones in the Old Cemetery, but he is not buried there. His service in the Revolutionary War is recognized by a modern stone and by a cenotaph which reads "This monument is erected in Memory of Capt. Walter Hyde who was of approved integrity, a useful member of Society, a kind husband, an affectionate parent, a lover of his country & a firm Supporter of the rights of Mankind. Exempt from Military duty by former command, he nobly stept forth, raised and took the command of an Independent Company & with them proceeded to the neighbourhood of N. York A.D. 1776 in defence of the invaded rights of the United American States when he died at Greenwich on the 18th day of Sept. 1776 aged 41 years & was there buried & his grave undistinguishable from those of many other strangers. His death was greatly lamented by all to whom he was known."
