Note 16 — CASE OF WILLIAM KIDD.
Reading edition
Kidd's wife's brother; see doc. no. 78, note 1, and N.Y. Col. Docs., IV. 128, 144, 179. General McCrady, History of South Carolina, I. 262-263, mentions two affidavits in an old manuscript book in Charleston, by two sailors of the Adventure's company, who declare that Bradley took no part with the piratical crew, but constantly protested against their course, and therefore was put ashore sick on a rock near Antigua.
