Hello, I was doing another look-up in the "KIDDER book" and came across this family. See below. I was wondering if anyone knew who this KIDDER soldier was. Betty (near Lowell, MA) 410 ABEL CHASE KIDDER (Abel, Francis, Francis, Enoch, James), born at Stratton, Vt., 12 Feb. 1805; died near Pontiac, Ill., 28 Oct. 1868. He married NANCY A. MANNING. Abel Chase Kidder moved from Stratton, Vermont, to Canada, where he lived awhile. Thence he went on to Ashtabula County and Lorain County, Ohio, finally settling at Pontiac, Ill. A letter written by him to Rev. James Holwell Kidder stated that his two eldest children were buried in Ohio, and that their "eldest son enlisted at the beginning of the Rebellion, and was killed at the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing." Children: i. Son, killed at the Battle of Pittsburgh Landing during the Civil War. ii. Child, d. in Ohio. iii. Child, d. in Ohio. iv. LOUISA M., b. in Dec. 1845; m. WILSON BRECKENRIDGE of Ossawatomie, Miami Co., Kan. One daughter. v. THOMAS C., b. in Feb. 1850. FYI:: This is a "KIDDER web site" where there is a list of all the KIDDER's who fought in the War: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/1255/wor.htm
