Erin, How certain are you that John Kidwell was born, 1831 in Leesburg? In other words, what is your source? You might find his baptism recorded in the records of St. James Episcopal Church (I think those records began about 1830). They were published in Northern Virginia Genealogy.

Fellow family historians, The following program will be of interest to anyone with Point of Rocks/Tuscarora/Doubs connections. Actually is would be of interest to anyone who wants to take a nice drive to one of the remaining river towns of Frederick County for a pleasant Sunday afternoon. This is a tour of the churches and Masonic hall that served the old town, but also is a great opportunity to come see the buildings, learn about their history, and share your knowledge of the area with the Point of Rocks Community Historical Society (PORCHS). Old newspaper articles from the 1830s to 1919 will be on display at the Masonic Hall, along with some old photos of the community. Please come and share your memories, learn about the rich social and commercial history of the town, and enjoy the holiday season with old fashion community spirit and great music and chorus programs. Stop by the Masonic Hall and see how you can help build the genealogy database for families starting with the early settlers in 18th Century - and for both sides of the river - Maryland and Virginia. For more information- Pepper Scotto, 301-834-9907 CatoctinKey@Gmail.com www.pointofrocks.org This event is sponsored by the Point of Rocks Ruritan Club, in cooperation with the local houses of worship and the Point of Rocks Community Historical Society (PORCHS). Tour and parking is free, Christmas and garden bazaars are fundraisers, and the Historic Transportation Committee of the Ruritan Club is selling copies of 1943 aerial photos of the Point of Rocks town - don't miss out. Come and stop by the Potomac River in the C&O Canal National Historical Park right in the middle of the town - and see why George Washington loved it so.
