Cornbury, Edward Hyde, Lord -1723
Colonial governor; was sent to the province of New York as governor in 1702, when he was Sir Edward Hyde, grandson of the first Earl of Clarendon, and nephew, by marriage, of James II.
He was one of the officers of that monarch's household, and was the first to desert him and go over to the Prince of Orange, who became William III, of England.
Grateful for this act, William made him governor of the united provinces of New York and New Jersey.
He was co ad to Cornbury by the speaker, in which he was directly accused, among other things, of being an extortioner and the merchandise of faction.
Finally, such representations went from both provinces to the board of trade that Queen Anne removed him (1708), though he was her cousin.
Then his creditors threw him into prison, from which he was released by accession to the peerage on the death of his father, when he returned to England and became Earl of Clarendon.
He died in London, April 1, 1723.

Johnson-Clarendon convention,
The treaty negotiated by Reverdy Johnson, while minister to England, dated Jan. 14, 1869.
