Notes:

Birth:
There is a DNA connection that somewhat confirms this connection. Need more DNA comparisons

Died:
The graves of John & his wife have never been located, after searching through cem. records within Nelson & Amherst Co. & walking through many of the cems & reading the head stones in both co., it is believed only an unmarked stone was placed on the graves

John married Selia Anderson (?) Selia was born in 1768 in Buckingham County, Virginia; died in 1848 in Nelson County, Virginia, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Birth:
I don't think she is a daughter of John Anderson, that's a different Selia born in 1758 and married Worden Kendall

Name:
Where is the proof/documentation that her last name is Anderson?

• PP Tax List : 5 Aug 1806, Tazewell County, Virginia; William listed with 1 male over 16 and 1 horse (Is this William Jr? When did he leave Tazewell?)

Notes:

This William, father of John, is NOT the William Kidd who married Hannah Duche. That marriage bond was filed in Norfolk in 1754 & there is 0 evidence to connect the Norfolk Kidds with the Kidds of Buckingham who took a migration path out of Middlesex almost exactly due west.

William Kidd DNA line has been proven with four sons Larkin, Elias, Sherrod, and Elijah. Though John hasn't yet been proven with DNA - William Kidd seems his likely father.

Father's Will:
I give & Bequeath to my Son William Kidd, all my Land the Other Side the North River, where I formerly lived to him & his Heirs for Ever
