General Notes: Husband - James Kidder

---

It is not known when or by what ship he came to America. He was in Cambridge, Massachusetts, as early as 1650, and probably came some years earlier. He married Anna, daughter of Elder Moore, of Cambridge, exact date not known, but is placed at 1649 by family historians. His marriage with the daughter of Elder Moore would in­dicate that he was of standing and character in the community. In 1653 he was occupying a farm in (now) West Cambridge, and in 1656 he was living in (now) Billerica. In 1662 was a juror and in that year the court records at­test: “James Kidder is allowed to be sergeant of the military company at Billerica.” He was also selectman, and in 1675, during King Philip's war, was in the public service, keep­ing guard over the small tribe of Indians at Wameset and in command of a garrison house, containing seven families including his own and that of his son John. Both he and his wife were in full communion with the church at Cambridge, and when a church was organized at Billerica joined there.
