I wonder if this is related to your family?:
James Dear Kydd, son of George Kydd and Elizabeth Hay, moved to Philadelphia in the 1850s. His longest surviving child was Elizabeth Fife Kyd.
The Philadelphia Foundation has an Elizabeth F. Kyd Fund, which provides the following bio:
"Miss Kyd was born in 1861 and lived on South 49th Street in Philadelphia for 68 years.She was a sister of George H. Kyd, Treasurer of the Fidelity Trust Company, predecessor of the Fidelity Bank, who died in 1932.Miss Kyd lived to be 92 years old and until her death in 1954 was the oldest living communicant of the Presbyterian Church in center city Philadelphia.She was survived by five cousins, three in Philadelphia, and two in Scotland."
I wonder if a descendant of your Belle Kidd was one of the cousins mentioned?
If you can send me any additional information about the Kidds in Scotland, I might be able to fill in some gaps.
