  • Name Simeon DRYDEN  [2
    • The book "A Genealogy of the Kidder family", states that Rachel Clemens was a widow when she married Mark Hiram Kidder. Her first husband was Dr. Dryden. I found Dr Simeon Dryden on Find A Grave. The dates seem to match up, since Rachel married Mark Kidder in 1825. More research needs to be done to further confirm this, but for now I am leaving it as it is.

      ABSTRACTS OF WILLS, ADMINS. AND GUARDIANSHIPS IN NY STATE, 1787-1835 states the following:

      pages 390-391
      adm. On Estate of Simeon DRYDEN, (?) died intestate. Granted to Artemas DRYDEN, Hine CLEMONS, & Henry H. ROSS as admin.

      Seal 29 April 1824.

      Because of this will, I believe, that Simeon Dryden is the son of Artemas Dryden and the son-in-law to Hine Clemons. I'm not sure who Henry H. Ross is. [1]
