According to what I have, William Sidney Kids died in 1927 and is buried at Bethel Methodist cemetery, Denver, NC. There should be a death certificate for him which may give the names of his parents. If you check the 1850 and 1870 Lincoln Co. census you will find William Sidney Kids in the household of Mary "Polly" Kids. His father was William KID who died in 1841. He left a Lincoln Co. NC will dated 2 Jan. 1841, probated Dec. 1841, recorded in Will Book 2, page 113. The will gives the name of his wife, Mary, and lists the following children: Catharine, Nancy, Caroline, John, Mary, Rufus, Sidney, and James. There is a Lincoln Co. NC marriage bond, orginal at the NC State Archives, Raleigh, bond dated 26 June 1820 for the marriage of William Kids and Mary Childers. I hope this helps your research. Ann M.
