Reiley Kidd

The Kidds of Middlesex County, Virginia, 1669-1850 Reiley Kidd

This book is a compilation of all the historical records found in Middlesex County, Virginia pertaining to members of the Kidd family, from the arrival of Thomas Kidd, the patriarch of the Virginia Kidds by 1646 through 1850. Where possible, the authors have documented family groups, and their relationship to this Thomas Kidd. They also address many commonly accepted claims about reputed relationships within these Kidd families that are unproven. This book is the first in a series by the authors that eventually will cover more than twenty Virginia counties where the Kidd surname occurs in early records. Both authors are long-time Virginia with extensive experience in the search and analysis of Virginia records. One of the main goals of this book and the others in the series is to assist other Kidd researchers in "bridging the gap" between their earliest known Kidd ancestor and one or more of the proven descendants of the immigrant Thomas Kidd.
