Name:
Oliver Kidder moved with his parents from Coventry, Conn. to Nine partners, Dutchess Co., New York before 1753. From thence he went on to Columbia Co., New York, where he resided for a time before making his home at Albany, where he lived until 1773, in which year he settled at Weathersfield, then in Cumberland Co., New York, but later a part of Vermont. This town had been settled by Connecticut people, principally from Wethersfield, the Vermont settlement adding the letter "a" to the name by way of variation, and here, in the section which later separated and became Ascutneyville, he purchased two pieces of land, the deeds, dated April 9, 1773, describing him as of Albany. He soon became prominent in town affairs, and in 1775 his name appeared on the list of citizens of Weathersfield "who declared for Liberty and Independence." In 1775 and 1776 he served on the local committee having in charge the affairs of the settlers, involving in large measure controversies concerning land titles. On occasion these committees met in general convention, where they issued decrees which were regarded as law, violations thereof being severely dealt with. In 1776 he was chosen Supervisor, and later Selectman. As a young man he was active in military affairs, and on May 18, 1762 enlisted in Cornelius Van Deboregh's Company of Albany, the enlistment papers describing him as "18 years and 6 months of age, 5 feet, 8 inches in height, of fair complexion, with blue eyes and brown hair." Early in 1775 he became first ensign of the first militia company, and was so recorded 15th Ag. 1776. In "a return of men and horses employed by Capt. Abel Marsh, in carrying four from Connecticut River to Batten Hill, for the use of the Northern Army," dated Oct. 13, 1775, appears the name of Oliver Kidder who is credited with ten days service with two horses, and 120 miles of travel for which there was due him the sum of L8. Oct. 24, 1778 he was appointed First Lieutenant of the Weathersfield Company. He acquired considerable property in and near Weathersfield, and after the War devoted himself principally to agricultural pursuits, although ever keenly interested in town and state affairs. He appears to have been an ardent churchman as evidenced by his activity in the small group of episcopalians who held occasional services ministered to by various clergymen of that denomination. In 1799 there apparently arose a crisis in their affairs when their Congregational brethren proposed that they give up their attempts to exist as a separate organization and join in a call to a new minister. On Nov. 29th of that year a "warning" was posted to the members of the Protestant Episcopal Church of Weathersfield, to meet at the house of Oliver Kidder on Dec. 4th next, "at one o'clock in the afternoon," there to consider the proposed union. The meeting was held, and a committee of thee was appointed and ordered to agree to the suggestion "provided the new minister should be ordained by the Episcopal bishop."
