Notes
- In her pension application, Rebecca states that she has lived in Parker County, Texas, since 1854. We have the marriage date for Rebecca and her husband Andrew Jackson Bridgman in July 1855, but until a family source, Lena Bridgman Truster, made this pension information known, it was unclear when the Kidwell family moved from Illinois to Texas.

Rebecca was born in Clark County, Illinois. One census report in 1910, however, when she is living as a widow with her son James, reports her birth state as Missouri. The report in 1910 that her parents were born in Kentucky matches earlier information and family records.
