Notes
General:
Further thoughts on Andrew1 Hidden. Many family trees give his wife as Sarah Houston. Clearly they were married at Rowley on 7th day 4 mo. 1654 as "Andrew Headen and Sarah Hosetine. I would posit that Hosetine is a variant of Hasetine or Hazeltine, and therefore some relation to the Haseltine brothers who came to Rowley: John and Robert. See Patricia Law Hatcher's article on Rowley families in The Great Migration Newsletter 18 (2009):27 and National Genealogical Society Quarterly 68:10-11 for clues to their English origins. Based on their relative ages (the two brothers) and Sarah's age, she cannot be their daughter, but perhaps a niece or cousin. (M. Hollick)

Notes
General:
John3 HIDDEN was born at Rowley, Mass. about 1688, son of John2 (Andrew1) and Elizabeth (Jewett) Hidden. It is likely that John married at Portsmouth, N.H. at the North Church on 4 July 1711 to (---) CROCKETT. [New Hampshire Genealogical Record 5(1908):41] It should be noted that the transcription says Joseph Hidden, however, since John Hidden is immediately thereafter having children baptized in Kittery, this must be an error. Perhaps the original document (which I have not seen) says Jo. Hidden which should be read John but is often mistaken for Joseph.
John has seven children baptized at Kittery, Maine. [Parish Records of the First Church & Society of Kittery, Maine 1714-1791, reprinted at NEHGR 151 (1997), various pages]. John left no land records. In fact, he is not even a witness to a land record in York County up to 1737 which is now searchable electronically. He left no probate papers. His first wife died after the birth of their last child in 1730 and before 1756. On 4 January 1756 John was admitted to full communion at the Kittery church [NEHGR 151:52]. On 25 April 1756, Rachel Clinton was also admitted to full communion at the same church [NEHGR 151:52]. These events preceded their marriage on 28 July 1756. [Vital Records of Kittery, Maine To the Year 1892, ed. Joseph C. Anderson II and Lois Ware Thurston (Camden, Me.: Picton Press, 1991), hereinafter Kittery VRS, p. 125]. She seems to be Rachel DOLBY who was the successive widow of Lawrence Amee and Jacob Clinton . John appears on a tax list at Kittery on 1 September 1760. He, thereafter, disappears from the records.
Most of this research is the product of one of his descendants, Richard M. Hunt, in his excellent article "The Hiddens Have Gone to Newburyport" The Essex Genealogist 24 (2004):165-68. I've added very little to his discoveries. It should be noted that this Hidden family is different from the Hatten family of the Isle of Shoals and Kittery that variantly spelled their surname Hidden. There is also a branch of the Heaton family living in Portsmouth. (Research M. Hollick)

Notes
General:
Mary4 baptized 22 May 1720 [NEHGR 151:224] and likely born earlier based on her sister's baptism. Mary owned the covenant and was admitted to full communion on 30 July 1735 [NEHGR 151:46]. She is clearly the Mary Hidden, daughter of John named in a bastardy suit dated October 1739. Sadly only the initial petition survives so the specifics of the case, including its outcome, do not survive. However, Mary had intentions filed at Kittery on 5 March 1739/40 to David WELCH. [Kittery VRs, p. 102] Perhaps this was the father of the child. In any case, it appears the marriage never happened because intentions were filed again on 20 December 1740 to Josiah4 BERRY, son of George3 (James2 William1) and Deliverance (Haley) Berry. [Kittery VRs, p. 103]. (M. Hollick research)
