    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.

    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
