Several years ago I met Al Brigance and was introduced to his work on the Lewis and Sarah Kidd family of Blount County. I am a descendant of Lewis and over the years contributed what I could to Al, especially dealing with the Texas and California descendants. This work led to other research, including Kidd boys who fought for the Union in the 3rd Tennessee Cavalry, the Sultana disaster and other topics. During this time I met Ken Kidd of Waco Texas, the nephew of my 2nd cousin Rosa Kidd Austin of Fort Worth, Texas.
Ken and I have built a website, lewiskiddfamily.com. The site includes Al's and my geneaology, stories about the Texas and California Kidd families, Kidds in the Civil War, and WWII. Maryville tidbits found in old issues of Maryville and Knoxville newspapers, the Sultana, and a study Ken has done regarding possible routes of Lewis and Sarah from Buckingham County, Va., to Blount County.
If you are interested, please visit our website. If there are any additions, corrections you might wish to make, Ken's and my contact information are on the website.
