I am looking for my gg grandmother, ?Mary Ballard?, who was married to William Kids. Their son was William SIDNEY Kids b.1834 of Denver, NC. In a recent inquiry, someone sent me a family group that showed Sidney's mother was Mary "Childers". I have never heard of this name from my grandparents. Since there are many small errors in the following generations of people that I knew personally, I wonder if this could be a error as well. This Ballard woman would not only be my gg grandmother but also my ggg grandmother because my grandparents were cousins. So in addition to being the mother of W. Sidney Kids, she was also the mother of Nancy Kids (b. abt 1824) who married William Tucker in Lincoln Co. Have 2 "William Kids" (or a presceding generation) possibly been confused? Thanks for any help that you can be- Julie Cline Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
