Muscatine Weekly Journal. (Muscatine, Iowa), November 21, 1862, page 4.
William Kidd, Pvt., Company F, 16th Mississippi. The surgeons must have done a pretty good job of treating William, considering the circumstances. He was evidently wounded September 17, 1862 during the Battle of Antietam. On November 3, he was paroled for exchange from Camden Street USA General Hospital, Baltimore, MD; received at Fort Monroe November 5; treated at General Hospital No. 7 in Richmond November 9; and furloughed from that place November 11, 1862 - for 60 days. He never returned to service and was finally retired November 1, 1864.
After the war, William Kidd and his wife, Martha, had at least four children: Adale (Adele) E (b. 1867), James E. (b. 1870), Nancy H. (b. 1873) and Benjamin J. (b. 1876). Sometime prior to 1880, the family moved to Leon County, TX where William is listed as a farmer (no disability noted.) According to the census, Martha died prior to 1900 and William lived to the age of 76 or 78. He died November 12, 1908 and was buried in North Creek Cemetery, Nineveh, TX. FindAGrave
