Undated Newspaper Clipping from an Unidentified Newspaper, Collection of Benjamin E. Kidd Lydia Elizabeth Kidd Lydia Elizabeth Kidd, an early resident of Corder, passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frank Hadley at Independence, Kansas, Tudsday, November 7, 1944. Mrs. Kidd was ninety-nine years old and had been an invalid for eight years. She came from a long line of pioneers. Her mother’s immigrant ancestor, John Woodson, came from England on the ship George, in 1617 and settled in Jamestown with the first families of Virginia. A few years later, Samson Waring, came from England to cast his lot with the Maryland colonists. After the Revolution, descendants of these men moved west into the wilderness and helped to found the new state of Kentucky. It was in Greenup County, Kentucky that the Virginia and Maryland families were united in the marriage of Mrs. Kidd’s great grandparents, Lydia Waring and William Fugua (sic) who followed the tide of immigration still farther west to Missouri, where many Woodson descendents now make their homes. The Fuguas (sic) settled in Warsaw, Mo., where their daughter, Mary Hollyday Fugua, married William Canada. Mrs. Kidd was born in Warsaw June 16, 1853 and spent her early years there before moving to Saline County. She married James Andrew Kidd in Lafayette County, October 7, 1874 and came to Corder to live more than 60 years ago.
