  1. 2.  William KiddWilliam Kidd Descendancy chart to this point (1.Aaron1) was born in 1737 in Middlesex County, Virginia ?; died in 1802 in Tazewell County, Virginia.

    Other Events:

    • Father's Will: 28 Aug 1775, Albemarle County, Virginia; Mentioned in Father, Aaron's Will

    • Grant: 8 Dec 1793, Montgomery County, Virginia, USA; William Kidd, Grantee; Description: 42 acres on the Clear Fork of Wolf Creek at the lower end of the land that Samuel Sallard lives on.
    • Land Patent: 16 Aug 1794, Montgomery County, Virginia, USA; William Kidd, Grantee; Description: 58 acres on the Clear Fork of Wolf Creek and adjoining the land of Samuel Sallard.
    • Grand Jury: Nov 1800, Tazewell County, Virginia; William Kidd was listed on the first grand-jury impanelled in the county along w/ John Peery Sr., James Lockhart, Thomas Brewster, William Witten & others.
    • Deed: 22 July 1806, Tazewell County, Virginia; Order bk 1 page 224 Deed from William Kidd to Larkin Kidd acknowledged (Is this William Jr?)
    • 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

    Notes:

    Source information on the name of Missouri/Caroline Kidd: There doesn't seem to be much documented proof on the name of Alexander Neal's wife. I've seen it listed both as Caroline and Missouri. I am leaning toward the Missouri, as I have the source of this name, but not the source of where Caroline came from. No one seems to bother with sourcing anymore, so no one can tell me where the name Caroline came from. The following information is from Orval Hodges (Boondocks38@aol.com):::: My Grandfather Osker Franklin Neel said that they call her Miss Kidd and the Miss was for Missouri. She was not named from the State, her name is a Illinois Indian name the refers to a canoe. But in my first find of anything referring to Missouri was in the Waggoner Family book in the Virginia Room of the Tazewell Library, there she is referred to as "Miss Kidd". I'm not going to dispute the Caroline connection but in my family she was never called Carolline. And also for your information she has five grandchildren and great grandchildren named Missouri after her. Missouri Kidd Neel was my grandfathers Great Grandmother and one great thing about my Neel ancestors, some of them like to talk about their family. Mother had a Uncle named Daniel Alexander Neel (Grandson of Missouri Kidd Neel) and I could talk to you all day about the stories that came from Uncle Daniel. Let me tell you a short story about Missouri Kidd. My great aunt Minnie Roland Blankenship (sister to my Grandmother Cora B. Roland Neel) told me this story, it involved aunt Minnie and my mothers Uncle Daniel Neel, Uncle Daniel had a lot of horse and he was a great horseman. He was teaching Aunt Minnie how to ride a horse and during this time of training Uncle Daniel told Aunt Minnie that girls could learn to ride just like a man and he repeated that 'Missouri Kidd Neel' his great grandmother could and did ride a horse as good as any man, she could also load and shoot a muzzle loading gun. Miss Kidd Neel would ride from Wolfe Creek to what is now known as Pearisburg Virginia and back then you had to ford Wolfe Creek nine times to get there, just to visit with her Aunt Deborah Kidd Peery. So to make a point that her name Missouri has been in our folk lore a long time. Continuing email... Well Michelle the Deed you are probably speaking of, I had in my files but just never jumped at it until I was look at what you had brought up. You can see that I have put James Burress and Mary Frances aka Franly Neel Burress in the Burress Cemetery that states where the farm was that James Burress and Franky got a Indenture Deed loan of $19.46 on Jul 16 1844. I figured they would have been buried there. For your information the Burress Cemetery should be called Burress-Neel Cemetery because there are 12 Neel's buried there but it was set up as Old Neel Cemetery. When they finally sold off the farm Thomas Neel b 14 Feb 1815 died 1907 ( Mary France Neel Burress younger brother) he was buried in the Neel Family Cemetery with his mother and father.

    Missouri married Alexander Neel in 1799 in Virginia, United States. Alexander (son of Thomas Neel and Eleanor "Ellen" McFarland) was born in 1777 in Jackson River, Augusta County, Virginia; died in 1844 in Wolf Creek, Tazewell County, Virginia; was buried in 1844 in Cove Creek, Tazewell County, Virginia, USA.
