Near as I can figure it out, Ella Gafford Hyde was the wife of Benjamin Leander Hyde, a cousin of Evelina Elizabeth Hyde,
(Mrs. George Pears) who is the mother of Roxie Ann Pears Gean.
Evelina's father was James Benjamin Nolen Hyde, the brother of William Benjamin Hyde,
who is the father of Benjamin Leander Hyde.
William Hyde was the father of James Benjamin Nolen Hyde, and William Benjamin Hyde.
James Benjamin Nolen Hyde named Evelina's brother William just to make us descendants scratch out heads. arrrgh.
