Individual Details

The 1930 census indicates Kidwell was married prior to his marriage to Myrtle Casey.
An online database atWorldConnect has a first marriage to Josie Davenport, 22 Jul 1886, Union Co, MS. I have not seen his name anywhere other than Kid or Kidd.

The online database gives parents as Booker T. Foster, Jr. and Elizabeth Russell, who were married 29 Sep 1850, Pontotoc Co, MS. Booker Foster, born 1808 in GA, had previously been married to Sarah Nettles, 24 Dec 1824, Greene Co, GA; he died 3 Apr 1873 in Mississippi.
