Hi: I don't know much about the Powers, but have recently been reading microfilm from Nottingham West, NH (Hudson) and I thought I'd add some of the Kidder's I've run across which are in the Lancaster area. Elder Sampson Kidder is listed on the 1781 tax list; Lieut. Benjamin Kidder and Elder Sampson are on the 1789 tax list (and probably those inbetween). Lois Kidder married a Jonathan Butler in Lyndeborough, N.H. That's my two cents, anyway. Good luck! Your names look as jumbled and overly-populated as my Jonathan Butler's on NH & Mass. Regards, Dianne Butler Lucas
