Worcestershire / Re: Wylde family of the Commandery etc
« on: Saturday 21 December 13 08:33 GMT (UK)  »
I'm a 14th generation from George Wylde son of Simon Wylde, Dodderhill. Through my mother's family. They settled in Braintree, MA 1688, then traveled to Gram County NC in 1813. There is a vase and large family in America, I don't have the current updated family tree book but there are 9 or more branches in the NC family. Fredrick Wilds and Fredrica Snyder ( Hackrathin) Plymouth Colony were married on the Brig Betsy 1813, of Cape Haderas, the Betsy was captured the following day by the HMS HighFlyer and later the HighFlyer was captured by the USS Pointiers. The Ships wheel of the Betsy still exist. but the brig was burned for running blockages and packing 8, 16 pounders. The Betsy was owend by Abraham Wilde, of Topsfield, and his son was the master, Jonathan. They escaped upon caputure. The Wilds were dropped off in Wilmington NC on the 13th day of May 1813. On the 14th the Betsy was burned. It was hauling Welch wool and clay tiles.

George Wylde, was Knighted (Order of the Golden Fleece) 1583, by Queen Elizabeth I and he was Sargent of Law. I have a copy of his Arms but would rather not display it in violation of the code and that it is rare and I would not want it exploited, but it is very rare and majestic Arms of Welch origin and Martlets, Chevron and Golden 5 pointed star at the top.

I am seeking direct, male line Wyldes from the family descended from Simon Wylde, fl. 1524, whose descendants include the family that held the Commandary and other lines.  Simon Wylde was said to have been a great grandson of Jenkin Wylde of Denbighshire, and indeed the 3 Martlets coat of arms is the same as for that Welsh family in History of the Powys Fadog.

I am involved in a DNA study of Wilde/Wylde.  My own family was from Radnor and shows a distant kinship to the Nottingham Wylde family, which also used the 3 martlets coat of arms.   So I am eager to test Wylde men from the Worcester family to see if they also match.

My ancestor Samuel Wild, b. c. 1682, went to America and added the "s".
