Would anyone be researching the Kidwell and Angus surnames? I know very little about the Kidwells, but will tell what I do know. My 4th great grandfather was James Kidwell born cir 1777 in Virginia (county unknown). He married Elizabeth Angus born 1782 in Virginia possibly Amherst Co. or Mecklenburg Co. The Angus family was in Amherst Co. at some point, but I'm not certain what time frame. By 1809, some of the Angus family (Elizabeth and at least two siblings, James Angus and Mary Angus Wilsford) were in Giles Co., TN. Her brother, Alexander Angus, also came, but not sure of what year, but was there by 1820. James Kidwell and Elizabeth Angus were married in either 1809 or 1811 in Giles Co., TN. I have seen two sources that give these 2 different dates. I do believe they could have been in Kentucky at some point, as some of their children state they were born in Kentucky in census records. They had 5 children known of: Mary, Sarah, William, James, and Alexander Mary born cir 1811 married William Scott cir 1835 in Giles Co. Sarah born cir 1813 married Matthew Pate 1851 in Giles Co. William born cir 1816 married Nancy Mulkey/Mulky or Muncey (just not sure on that) cir 1841/42-haven't been able to find him-wasn't in any census record. James born cir 1818 married Mary Jane Castleberry, migrated to Oregon Co., Missouri. Alexander born cir 1823 married Elizabeth Dickerson had 1 daughter, Dulcina Mississippi Elizabeth Kidwell. Married second Nancy Glasscock. He remained in Giles Co. I do not know the parentage of James Kidwell. If anyone knows about this James Kidwell or if you have him in your records somewhere, let me know. Judy Sanders
