DATE: 05 April 1998
NAME: Jim Kidd
SURNAMES: JEWELL/KIDD

I am searching for a family of KIDDS. Father Henry KIDD, Mother Melinda JEWELL. Children Wesley Columbus KIDD (oldest b.1883), Adam Alonzo KIDD, Lillian (Lillie KIDD), Ruthshell (Ruthie) KIDD (youngest b. 1894). One track was in the 1900 Census, Ripley Co.Mo. Henry was listed as a widower, (Melinda was still alive in 1894), born in Ohio in 1848, and his father (unknown) KIDD was born in Va., mother was born in Ky. Supposedly Adam was born in Summersville,Mo. in 1891, (Death Certificate information), and buried in Muncel Cemetery in Eminence, Shannon Co., Mo The last track was in the 1880 Census, Shannon Co. Mo. Henry was 29 and Melinda 19. Though they listed two children, Mary C. 9 and John 4, I am now fairly certain that Henry must have been married before. Of course, the children were too old for Melinda to be their mother. Apparently, living with Henry at that time were what must have been his mother-in-law, also named Malinda Jewell, a widow, age 55, and her son James L.Jewell, age 14. Others, in the family living there was Mary D. Jewell, (a widow), 22, who had a son William M.Jewell, age 1. Mary must have been Melinda Kidd's sister-in-law, (Malinda Jewell's daughter-in-law).
