Hello, Just a quick posting to find out if anyone knows about a Clarissa CROSBY who married a Charles KIDDER in 1841 in Chelmsford ! The KIDDER book does not have other information on her ! The Westford Historical Society made a "genealogy discovery" -- they found an un-recorded birth of a baby at the Town Farm in 1846 ! Charles and Clarissa were living there at the time, and it was not previously known that they had a child ! His name was Roscoe KIDDER. Charles' first wife was Mary WRIGHT of Westford, and they had 4 children, 3 daughters and a son ! I've been checking the archives of the Boards and Lists for Roscoe KIDDER, and, so far, there are varying stories ! One story is that he was sent to live with a LOVEJOY family at Age 4. But, his father lived to 1867 ! And, Roscoe had 4 much older half-siblings ! When his father passed, Roscoe seems to have been serving in the Civil War and with the "9th NH." So, maybe the LOVEJOY family moved to NH ! The LDS site has a Roscoe KIDDER marrying in Kansas in 1880 and seemingly remaining in that state ! I am descended from Simon CROSBY of 1600's Billerica, and I am curious whether Clarissa CROSBY was also descended from him ! I don't know when Clarissa was born, but her husband had been born in 1801, and their marriage was in 1841 ! Thank you for your time ! Betty (near Lowell, MA)
