Hi Donna and All, Gramma lists one brother for Sara Sherwood named John Sherwood. But--in her Kidder Family Notes she lists Sara/Sarah as follows: Sara Sherwood/Sheridan. Also that Sara was known as Abagail and "Morning Star". Gramma wrote out our first family lines in fountain ink Christmas 1940; these she never changed from the original entries. She began a journal for further family research and these are where I have found the Sheridan information. I have searched the web this morning seeking any connection to the Sheridan or Sherwood families to the Kidder Family; I have been unable to find any information; but will keep trying. To complicate the search even more my Great Aunt Cecile Irene Kidder Daulton told me the Sherwood family adopted Abagail as a child; and she was of Native American Ancestry but she knew nothing of her Tribal Lineage.
