Gary, In your e-mail message you didn't indicate how you were related to these folks, if at all.I am particularly interested because of the first name "Milton". Milton KIDWELL was born about 1815 in Kentucky. Some evidence exists that he was the son of Levi KIDWELL b. NC d. 1850 in Benton County MO. Levi and his wife were married in April 1812 in Madison County KY. Mikton was married to Lydia (Unknown) b. abt 1815 and lost an arm in a lumber mill accident in 1849 in Benton County MO. In 1850 he was enumerated with his wife, three daughters and a son in Tepo TWP. Henry County MO. Sometime between 1850 and 1860 his wife and eldest daughter died. Milton abandoned his remaining three children and went to California where he died in 1905. If any of this is familiar I would be most happy to share what I have about the KIDWELLs. I addressed this both to the South central list and to you personally because of the difficulties recently with rootsweb and AOL Walt Jones Spokane WA ----- Original Message ----- From: <Gary06074@aol.com> To: <SOUTH-CENTRAL-KENTUCKY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, January 23, 2006 5:46 PM Subject: [SCKY] Hammer Bible records, Kidwell, Williams, others > These records are written on pages that are old and brittle with a few holes > through the middle.
