Hello,

I was just looking to see if the WHITMAN name shows up in the "KIDDER book,"
and it shows up only once. This paragraph shows a KIDDER who "died at
sea" in 1854. See below.

I just looked at the "WHITMAN book" (mentioned this morning) to see if the
KIDDER name is mentioned there, and it mentions the same family. But,
the 2 descriptions are slightly different from each other.

Betty (near Lowell, MA)
