From our LCGS president Jayne Monro- Ouimet

Jill, thank you so much for the Photos,   And the brief family history.

I will have a look at the Kidd family information that I have.  The Kidd’s settled in Beckwith Township and then branched out.

Bill M.–

The Watson – Kidd family possibly descends from Alexander Kidd a Scotsman. This may be the same Alexander Kidd who settled in Bathurst Township, Lanark Co. in 1815, but who moved after a few years to the Peterborough area. The Kidd families in Beckwith Township were emigrated from Ireland.
