Was Joseph in Houlton, Maine, with his uncle David, or are you saying that David and Rachel were his parents ? I have no proof either way that Samuel Tidd Jr. was his father. Also, do you think this David Andrew Tidd may have died young, and perhaps they named their second child David Andrew ? (it was a common practice to do this). I ask this because the Andrew David/David Andrew in the 1871 census was born 1838. He married Sarah A. Stanton in 1855, at little River (source- Digby County Births). I have the children of Joseph and Priscilla thus : -- (1) Andrew D. b. 1838 ; (2) Catherine b. 1839, md . Porterfield Bunker (3) William B., b.1841 md. Emily Hannah Prime - my great -grandparents (4) Ensley b.1844, md. Mary Morehouse ; (5) James - never md. (6) Chloe md. Newton Guthrie, of Grand Manan (7) Harriet md. Nelson Guthrie, of Grand Manan ; (8) Aremina md. Albion Huntly, of Grand Manan, on 15 Aug 1874. (9) Rachel b. 1854, md Benjamin Prime Jr., of Freeport. (10) Joseph Jr. b. 1857 md. Melissa Stanton ; (11) Laleah b. 1860 md. Marris McCullough. Emily Hannah Prime and Benjamin Prime Jr. were sister and brother, children of Benjamin Prime Sr. and Mary Ann Hersey of Freeport. We're hoping for "feedback" too .... John
