Hello, I'm doing a look-up in the "KIDDER book" for a specific Nathaniel KIDDER, and I came across this man. I'm offering it as an FYI. But, it mentions that Nathaniel served in the RI Cavalry and was a prisoner at "Libby Prison" and at "Belle Isle" and he was wounded in the "Battle of Winchester." See below.
