KIDDER. 1. James, son of James, was b. 1626, in East Grinstead, Sussex, England. His ancestry has been traced in England, through six generations : JJames, his father; JJohn; John; Richard; Richard; Richard. He m. Anna Moore, dau. of Elder Francis, of Cambridge, and his children before 1660, were b. there. He received in 1656, a grant of a ten aere lot in Billerica, but it was not located until 1658, and he did not occupy it till 1659. His house-lot is described: "thirty acres of land, more or less. lying upon the township, aboute ye centre of it. his house-lot being part of it. It is bounded by John Rogers, sen., on ye south; by land yet lying in comon, on the east ; and by the West street or highway which leads from long street to ye great river on ye north; and by the great river on the west." Besides various meadow lots, he also had 26 acres on the plain beyond loes' meadow. and sixty acres south-east of Fox hill; 31 acres at the head of heath brook. (now in Tewksbury.) and other smaller lots. His house stood on the well-known lot where Gardner Parker lives. The place 'has remained in the family, John Parker having married, 1751, Abigail Kidder, dau. of Enoch.
James Kidder was Ensign in Capt. Danforth's military company, and his house was a garrison in 1675. He. himself, was placed in charge of the Indians at Wamesit, a position which indicates, in that critical period, the confidence reposed in his skill and courage. The conjecture is probable. that the hardships and exposure incident to this war, occasioned his death which took place, 1676, April 16. His widow m. 1684-5, March 17, William Underwood, of Chelmsford. Ch. Hannah, b. 1650-1, March 1; m. 1672,
