Hyde Hall, Cheshire

Stockport, Cheshire

Edward Hyde (1667-1712), the first colonial Lieutenant-Governor of North Carolina, died without an immediate heir in 1712 and his family's 17th century ancestral estate was left to his only surviving daughter, Anne Hyde (1693-1760). Anne was the wife of The Hon. George Clarke (1676-1760), formerly of Swanswick and the colonial Lieutenant-Governor of New York who built Hyde Hall in Cooperstown, New York. The Clarkes retired to Anne's ancestral home and there is a splendid marble monument to John Clarke's memory at Chester Cathedral.
The Clarke's eldest son, George Hyde Clarke, inherited Hyde Hall in England and their younger son, Major Edward Clarke (1716-1776), was given the Swanswick and Hyde plantations in Jamaica. The Major married Elizabeth Guthrie Haughton, daughter and heiress of James Guthrie of Auchindown Castle Estate, Westmoreland, Jamaica.
