Epiphany Episcopal Church in Long Old Fields (present-day Forestville, between Silver Hill and Centreville)) dates from 1862, and was part of the Queen Anne Parish. But if your Cators lived in the Silver Hill area, they probably would have belonged to St. Barnabas Episcopal Church in the Oxon Hill area - it is less than 2 miles from Silver Hill - established in 1830, and part of King George's Parish. Before 1830, they would probably have belonged to St. John's Church, Broad Creek (the mother church of St. Barnabas). St. John's was established in the 1690s, about 6-1/2 miles to the south of Silver Hill.
I have no information on "Hydes" - again, which census? and for which county?
Hope this helps,
