Hi. I decend from the Kidds who are white, but the name Kidd is actually from a Creek Indian who I believe got the name Kidd from an English Missionary.Your Kidd name may have been tied to the Creek Indians also.You might want to look in the census and indian records too. Here is a link to the alabama 1880 census type in Kidd and African Am.,there are lots of black Kidds, you might want to search the indians too.Good luck.
