"The English Ancestry of the Kidder family of America has been traced to Richard Kidder, of Maresfield, County Sussex, England, living in 1492. Richard (2) Kidder, son of Richard (1) Kidder, died in 1549. Richard (3) Kidder, son of Richard (2) Kidder, died in 1563, leaving five sons. John Kidder, son of Richard (3) Kidder, married Margaret Norman, of Little Horsted, and died in 1599. John (2) Kidder, son of John (1) Kidder, was baptized in 1561, at East Grinstead, County Sussex, England. He married Joan Beorge, and died in 1616, leaving four sons. James Kidder, son of John (2) Kidder, was born in East Grinstead in 1595.

The immigrant founder of the family in America, James Kidder, born in 1626, at East Grinstead, County Sussex, England, appears in Cambridge, Massachusetts as early as 1649. In 1653 he occupied a farm of of two hundred and eighty-nine acres in what is now West Cambridge. He was among the founders of what is now Billerica, whither he removed soon after 1653. Both he and his wife were full communion members of the Cambrige church, and were among the original members of that at Billerica. During King Phillip's war he commanded a garrison house in the latter town. His wife Anne was the daughter of Elder Francis Moore, one of the most wealthy and reputable men in Cambridge. He died April 16, 1676 . . ."
