Hello, Just a reminder that there are several web sites which discuss the people in the Cape Ann Association. Just Googling that term will find them, including this one: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~nbstdavi/capeann.html A reminder is that my ancestor, Calvin KIDDER, from New Ipswich and Temple, NH, reportedly traveled with the families from New Boston, NH, when they left for (then) Nova Scotia in 1783. He was ~18, and someone has suggested that he might have been following a girlfriend. He has never been labeled as a Loyalist or Sympathizer. No one really knows how Calvin spent the next 15 years. He was reportedly in New Brunswick from ~1784 and until his untimely death in Feb. 1799. But, he is not in any of the lists of men in the web sites discussing the Cape Ann Assoc. My only thought is that he, relatively young, just lived with the families he traveled with and never got land in his own name. He seems to have remained close to the HITCHINGS and CHRISTIE families because men from those families helped out when he "died at sea." Calvin had finally married in July 1798 to Mercy GREENLAW. And, they had a child in Jan. 1799. One week later Calvin and 4 other men were in a mailboat which was in the Bay, and the boat overturned. All 5 men died. Just this summer it has occurred to me that Calvin might have been on his way to St. Andrews to -- announce the birth of his son ! (No one knows who Mercy's parents were, but one guess is that she was part of the GREENLAW families which had left Deer Island, Maine, and moved to New Brunswick.) The widow, Mrs. Mercy KIDDER, remarried about a year later to Ambrose BATES, and they had 10 children. I'm told the family, including Mercy's first son, Joseph "Calvin" KIDDER (aka Calvin KIDDER), lived in St. Stephen. After Mercy lost her 2nd husband she moved to Calais. Son, Calvin, moved also as in 1834 he married near Amity, ME. (It's possible that both the father, Calvin, and the son, Calvin, spent a lot of time in both Maine and New Brunswick.
