Hiden, whose earlier ancestors from Watford, England used the spelling Hyden,[1] was born in Orange, Virginia. He married [when?] Martha Woodroof (1883–1959), daughter of Jesse Alphonso Woodroof and Susan (Graves) Woodroof. She was, in her own right, a researcher, genealogist, and historian who established the city library system's Virginia collection.[2] The couple had three children.
