I know this is a longshot but --- my grandmother was the
daughter of Theodore Coglin Hyde and the wife of Thomas
Fielden Secrest. She named her first son Thomas Carlyle Secrest. Theodore Coglin
Hyde's brother, Benjamin J
Hyde (known as BJ) married Viola Wallis and they named
their first son Thomas Carlyle Hyde. Theodore and BJ
were born in Louisiana and came to Texas around 1869.
Both brothers married in Wharton/Jackson County, Texas
and both moved their families to Kerr County around 1880.
If you have any information connecting these families, I
would love to have it. Thanks
