It will take me a while to look over your pages, they may contain new information. I will get back to you about any differences. Right away I notice one problem: Captain William Kidd was a ferry boat captain out of Elizabethport, NJ, on Newark Bay, possibly on the Elizabethport-Bayonne ferry. The pirate Kidd is back in the 18th century, and no current relationship can be proven. This Kidd was hanged, mostly for political reasons, in England a little before or after the beginning of the 19th century. He had a wife in New Amsterdam, and may have had children. I understand that he was a member of the Dutch Reformed Church of New Amsterdam in good standing. I have a little information about this Kidd, if you are interested.
