This land was held in common by the two brothers until 3 May 1661, when it was divided between them. (Middlesex Deeds, vol. 3, fo. 321.) He and his first wife, Mary, were received into full communion in the church 8 Jan. 1661/2, and he was admitted as a freeman 27 May 1663.

From Re: JONATHAN Hyde & MARY REDIAT-ACCURATE HISTORY ANYWHERE??:
I guess it depends on what you rate as accurate. I have stuff from the NEGHS and the Newton Historical Society plus pictures of Mary French Hides grave in Cotton Street Cemetery in Newton, MA.
All of the sources I have seen say that Jonathon was married twice -
First to Mary French. (This is my line and I show 14 children from this marriage. Mary died giving birth to the youngest, Joseph).
Second to Mary Rediat (I show 7 children from this marriage.)
Mary French's grave is the oldest known grave in the Cotton Street cemetery in Newton. The Newton Historical Society feels that Jonathon is also buried there, but, if so, his grave is unmarked.
For myself, I have found no reliable trace of the brothers in England. During the 19th century in Europe, a man named Gustav Anjou earned a good living creating connections to noble families for anyone willing to pay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustav_Anjou.
The Hyde family lineage is one that was muddied by his fraud.
Jonathon and his first wife Mary French had 14 children! he owned up to 350 acres went to Cambridge in 1647 and purchased 240 acres He and his first wife admitted to the Cambridge Church in 1661
By his second wife Mary Rediat had another 7 children! He had a marriage covenant with Mary Rediat's father and brother three months before the marriage, something like a prenup agreement. He gave land to the school and to the town. He was a selectman in 1691.
A few years before his death he settled his own estate by deeding land as gifts to his eleven children (about 400 acres and several houses) and the other 12 children either died before him or were otherwise provided for. 1705 he deeded a cart-way through the homestead to the Dedham highway "to be used with gates forever"
2. Jonathan Hyde, his younger brother, who m. 1 Mary French, and 2 Mary Rediat, and had 19 children. He was the grandfather of Jonathan Hyde who settled at Pomfret, Conn., in 1714, and had 6 sons ; and who waspro- l)ably the ancestor of most of the Pomfret and Canterbury Hydes, whose descendants are now extensively scattered in different parts of the U. S. He was the ancestor of the Rev. Ephraim Hyde who grad. at Yale, 1759, and was minister of Rehol^oth, and of the venerable Dr. John Angier Hyde, a distinguished physician of Frceport, Me., who was living in 1856, at the advanced age of 84 years.
Jonathan HYDE married his first wife in abt 1650 in Cambridge, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA.
Jonathan HYDE married his second wife Mary REDIAT on 08 JAN 1673 in Newton, Middlesex County, Massachusetts, USA.
