Notes for Archibald Kidd
Morgan Co. Ky birth register lists the birth of Archibald Kidd on 22 Nov 1855 on Licking Fork, father Edmond Kidd, maiden name of mother Mandy Raimy.
His death certificate (volume 19, #09162), as scanned online at Ancestry.com, records the death on 3 Mar 1936 in Rowan Co. of Archie Kidd, age 80, widowed, maiden name of wife Nancy Boggs, residence Hamm, Ky, born 1856, birthplace Elliott Co., Ky, father Edd Kidd born in Ky, mother’s maiden name Sarah Stamker born in Elliott Co., cause of death stroke, informant Sarah Jennings. (This would be his niece by marriage, Sarah nee Slusher, the wife of Arch’s nephew John Milt Jennings, son of his older sister Mary “Polly” Kidd and David Jennings. Amanda Ramey would have also been the grandmother of Sarah’s husband John Milt Jennings, but since Mandy died when Arch was a baby, a full generation before John and Sarah were even born, they apparently did not know who his real mother had been. I don’t know who “Sarah Stamker” was, though.)
