Excerpt: Edward Hyde, 3rd Earl of Clarendon (28 November 1661 31 March 1723), styled Viscount Cornbury between 1674 and 1709, was Governor of New York and New Jersey between 1701 and 1708, and is perhaps best known for the claims of him cross-dressing while in office. Born The Hon. Edward Hyde, the only child of Henry, Viscount Cornbury (1638-1709), eldest son of the 1st Earl of Clarendon, and the former Theodosia Capell (1640-1700), daughter of the 1st Baron Capell and sister of the 1st Earl of Essex, he was the nephew of Lady Anne Hyde, Queen Consort of King James II. His childhood was spent at Swallowfield in Berkshire and he matriculated at Oxford on 23 January 1675, a month after his father had succeeded as 2nd Earl of Clarendon, making him Viscount Cornbury. He entered the Royal Regiment of Dragoons, and became a Tory Member of Parliament for Wiltshire from 16851696 and for Christchurch 16951701. He was Master of the Horse to Prince George of Denmark, and a Page of Honour to King James II at his Coronation. He was one of the first commanders to desert the King in 1688, taking with him as many troops as he could. Also in 1688, Lord Cornbury married, in a clandestine ceremony, Katherine O'Brien, daughter of Henry, Lord Ilbracken, eldest son of the 7th Earl of Thomond, who succeeded her mother in 1702 as 8th Baroness Clifton. Lady Cornbury died in New York on 11 August 1706 and is buried at Trinity Church, New York.
