Hello,

I was just browsing for the CANNELL name from 1790-1800 MA for someone who e-mailed me, and accidentally came across this web site:

http://www.usgennet.org/usa/ma/state/suff/gene/wchurch_2.html

It is a list of names from the "West Church" in Boston records from the very early 1800's. There are many surnames mentioned.

Since KIDDER and LEWIS are 2 of the many names on my family-tree, I noticed both are mentioned in these records:

I have an interest in all KIDDER's, but my LEWIS great-grandfather didn't arrive in North America until the 1870's. So, the LEWIS' mentioned here would not have been related to him. But I do see a

Miss Catherine Lewis KIDDER mentioned as the daughter of Joseph KIDDER.

I would think that the Joseph KIDDER family would be mentioned in the 1810-1820 census pages. *

Just an FYI for you.

Betty (near Lowell, MA)

(I believe George is still looking for more KIDDER information which might not be in the 1941 book.)
