"4. Elizabeth Olcott, daughter of Thomas and Abigail (_____) Olcott, was baptized December 7, 1643. In the agreement, dated March 22, 1671, for the division of her
father's estate, which she signed as Elizabeth Olcott, she was apportioned £100 as her full share. She married after February 7,1674, _____ Hide. (Document 198, in Vol. 1 of Private Controversies in the Connecticut State Library, is a bond, dated Feb. 7, 1674, from Samuel Hale of Wethersfield to Widow Abigail Olcott. Elizabeth Olcott signs as a witness.)
In the first edition of the Olcott genealogy, printed in 1845, it is stated that her husband's name was Timothy Hide. A man of that name resided in Wethersfield in 1679, and he may have been her husband, but of this the compiler has been unable to find any proof. The date of her husband’s death is unknown. In Vol. 1, page 191, of the Hartford Land Records, is the copy of a deed, dated February 7, 1698, from Samuel and John Olcott, conveying sixty-six acres in the West Division, and in this deed they give a warrant against the claims of their sister, Widow Elizabeth Hide. There is no trace of her after this date.
May 25, 1705, Thomas and John Olcott, as executors of the wills of Thomas and Abigail Olcott, conveyed to [Timothy Hide] as the 'only son and heir' of their sister Elizabeth Hide, deceased, 13½ acres in the South Meadow."
