Hi Dianne, Thank you for that look-up. That's interesting. I wonder who the researcher is who is studying Francis and Lucy (?) KIDDER's family. I can offer information on these men if anyone is interested. I don't remember whether I already mentioned that Thomas KIDDER (grandson of James, son of John) died the "day" that Westford annexed off of Chelmsford. It is thought that Joanna was pregnant with their 5th son when that happened, and that was Francis. The oldest was Thomas "Cornet" KIDDER, and then the middle sons, Reuben, Aaron, and Joseph, moved to New Ipswich. Joanna remarried to Samuel FITCH and had more children. This extended family remained in the Westford area. Betty FYI: This is the other Francis' parents: 28 FRANCIS KIDDER (Enoch, James), of Oxford and Sutton, both in Worcester Co., Mass., born at Billerica, Middlesex Co., Mass., 1 Oct. 1703; died at Oxford, Mass., 20 Oct. 1763. He married at Billerica, 24 Feb. 1730, ELIZABETH HILL, born 14 May 1711; died at Sutton, Mass., 31 Jan. 1805, daughter of Jonathan and Mary (Brackett) Hill. ----- Original Message ----- Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2009 9:50 AM Subject: Re: [AMERICAN-REVOLUTION] Francis KIDDER, Jr., in Littleton, MA, b1752 > Betty ~ > > Regarding your Francis Kidders.......There are three listed that people > have joined DAR on: > > 1.
