WALTER TIDD

Great grandfather Walter LeRoy Tidd (5 April 1892-3 January 1948) [other sources have him listed as 1895-1947], husband of Florence. His father was Milton Tidd (14 September 1855 - 16 November 1906) and his mother was Anna Wiesling Hankinson Tidd (b. 30 March 1862). Milton appears to have come from Courtland County, New York, while Anna was from Trenton. Walter had two brothers: Kenneth Struble Tidd (29 May 1900 - 27 May 1990) and Milton Harold Tidd (27 April 1890 - 19 November 1918). Great uncle Ken was apparently the first of our Tidds to actively pursue some genealogy; his wife was Edith Woodhouse Knapp Tidd, who died in 1978, and who I vaguely remember having met. They are buried in First Presbyterian Church of Ewing Cemetery, Ewing, Mercer County, New Jersey. Ken was a Sons of the American Revolution, although he linked his membership to a Private Abraham Cook.

MILTON TIDD

Milton Tidd (14 September 1855 - 16 November 1906)

Milton was the son of Horace Tidd (21 February 1815 - 28 April 1869), who hailed from Cortland County, New York. Milton was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and died in Trenton, New Jersey. He was the owner of Tidd's Pharmacy in Trenton. His son was Walter (born 1895), whose son was Frank (born 1915), whose sons were James [and John, my uncle], whose sons are James (born 1960) and Paul (born 1965) [and daughters Elizabeth (born 1960) and Barbara (born 1963)]. This dapper man therefore is my great, great grandfather. The picture was taken by Suder Photography, 4 Greene Street, Trenton.
