JOHN TIDD with his family "came early" to New England. He was an inhabitant of Charlestown, Mass. in 1637, and was the John Teed who, with thirty-one others, signed the Town Orders for Woburn, December 18, 1640. John Tydd is on a list of freemen 10 May 1643. Woburn records give the name as Tidd but unfortunately the historian of Woburn confuses him with a much younger man, the John Tidd, aged 19, who came as a servant to Samuel Greenfield and family in 1637 and with them went first to Salem, then to Hampton, and with Samuel Greenfield and others signed in Exeter, May 12, 1643, the petition to the General Court concerning that town. As John Tedd he is listed as still in Exeter November 4, 1647. Page 175
His will was dated 9th of April, a fortnight before his death, and shows that he had a second wife, Alice, a son John and two surviving daughters (Elizabeth and Mary whom he appointed to execute the will) Also named were: son Savell (William Savell whose wife had been Hannah Tidd) and seven grandchildren. These were the four Savell children, my son Samuel's daughter, Thomas Fuller, who was Elizabeth's son, and John Kendall, who was Mary's son. page 175
