John Kidd is also referred to as "Cap. John Kidd", so he's probably an officer from Rev War or War of 1812. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Does anyone know the "general" history of Chester County from the very early 1800s? Did people travel a lot between counties? Between SC and the territories (MS,GA,AL)? Or back to VA? Specifically, I'm looking for info on Greenbury Worthy, born ca 1819 in Chester County. I find a Greenbury Worthy in AL a generation before, and would guess he's an uncle, but can't get beyond that speculation. So any clues are welcome. Sharon Worthey
