NH KIDDER's in Revolutionary War (New Ipswich)
Hello. I'd like to know if anyone is researching the KIDDER men in New Ipswich, NH, born from 1750 to 1770's who served in the Revolutionary War.
Three KIDDER brothers helped to found New Ipswich, NH, and they had 30 children between them. Of them, 11 were sons. But, I think only 3 of them fought in the War. I am interested in the three sons of Joseph and Rebecca KIDDER. They were Wilder KIDDER, Joseph KIDDER, and Calvin KIDDER. I believe only Wilder and Joseph served in the War. (Wilder was a famous Fifer in War.)
Calvin was my ancestor, and it appears he did not serve, and around 1783 migrated to Canada (NS/NB) (Not Loyalist).
The other KIDDER who fought in this War was Thomas KIDDER one of the sons of Aaron KIDDER. Does anyone know if he is listed in the DAR's Patriot Index? ... I found out this morning that neither Wilder nor Joseph KIDDER are in the Index.
This is probably because we haven't traced their post-War lives yet. Some people believe they moved to NY State, and this morning I saw an indication they might have moved to northern VT. (But, in 1780's that part of northern VT was still part of NY State.)
...
I would also like to know if anyone is researching the daughters of Joseph and Rebecca KIDDER of New Ipswich and Temple, NH (neighboring towns). They were: Rebecca, Sibyl, (twins) Susannah and Lydia, Molly, and Rhoda.
