Notes for John Hidle: Zion Lutheran Church in Lexington District, South Carolina records include tithing records for Martin and John Hidle, who are thought to be father and son.
There is not so far conclusive proof that John Hidle is the son of Martin Hidle/Heydel and Elisabetha Simons, but the 1817 Dead Poll list for Lexington District, South Carolina strongly suggests the family connection:
1817: Memorialized records of Lexington District, SC 1814-1825 "Dead Poll for Lexington District in the year ending the last of December 1817." Name of Deceased: MARTIN HIDLE Name of Administrator: JOHN HIDLE Name of Securities: N. Hane & H. Muller Penalty of Bonds: $9000 Time of Qualification: 24 June 1817
John Hidle married Mary Blakely, daughter of Dionisious and Fanny Blakely, before 1810. The estate papers of Mary Blakely's father, Dionisious Blakeley, named legatees including John Hidle.
John Heidle and his family moved about 1824 from Edgefield County, South Carolina, to Monroe County, Georgia, where John Heidle and Elisha D. Britt lived side by side.
