Surnames: Kidder, Morse Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/JEB.2ACE/352.1.1 Message Board Post: Hi Kathie. Someone I know from other Lists just told me about your posting. I have been researching the KIDDER name for 8-9 years. The first in my line to head to Maine was Calvin KIDDER who first went to New Brunswick ~1783. He died in an accident in 1799, a week or so after his only child was born. His son, J. Calvin KIDDER started the Kidder tree which was involved in Princeton, Calais, and Amity, ME. Could you tell me a little more about Charles and Anna KIDDER so that I can see if I know about them?
