Anne, second daughter of Sir Nicholas Hyde, Kt., Chief Justice of the King's Bench, by Mary, daughter of Arthur Swaine, of Sarson, Hants, Esq. She died 23 August 1660 in her 50th year, being then the widow of Sir Ross Cary, who had been made a knight-banneret for his services during the memorable expedition to the Isle of Rhe. In the parish register of St. Andrew's, Holborn, Midx., under the date of 1 March 1640-1, his burial is recorded thus: "Sir Rosse Cary, an Irish Gent.: died at John Kerlye's, Rose Alley, 28 Feb." Both appear to have died intestate. The inscription of her gravestone, long hid from sight, is one of the few in the Abbey that have never been printed, and is therefore here given in full. It reads thus: "Anna Nicolai Hyde, Equ. | Supremi Anglice Justitiarij | Filia | Uxor Ross Rossaei Carey | Qui || Optime de patria | In expeditione Rheana meritus | Equitis Banneretti Titulo ornatus | Titulum ornavit | H.S.E. | Post restitutam Carolo | Brittaniam Brittaniae | Post restitutum Carolum | Lubens animam Anna reddidit | X Cal. Aug. | Anno Aetatis L. | Salutis M.D.C.LX." As a remarkable instance of the inexactness and uncertainty of burial registers and monumental inscriptions and heraldry, it may be noted that in the Abbey Register this lady's name is Carew, and on her tombstone Carey, while her husband's arms, impaled with her own, on the latter, are unmistakably those of Crewe.
