Hyde’s claim to the Deputy Governorship is…

May 1711 CE

Hyde’s claim to the Deputy Governorship is not technically perfected, but Cary and the Quaker party had at first been willing to allow Hyde to take over, until Hyde began to clearly side with the Anglican party.

Then Cary refused to recognize Hyde until he produces his official commission, claiming that he is still the legal governor.

Hyde declares Cary to be in open rebellion and assembles an armed force of around one hundred and fifty men to go to Bath to arrest him.

Cary flees from his home to a nearby plantation (possibly that of former governor Robert Daniell) which had been fortified and armed with cannons and several dozen of Cary's supporters.

Hyde, after failing to reach an agreement with Cary, on May 29 decides not to attack this fortified position and he and his men retreat.
