From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kedron
      the valley, now quite narrow, between the Mount of Olives and
      Mount Moriah. The upper part of it is called the Valley of
      Jehoshaphat. The LXX., in 1 Kings 15:13, translate "of the
      cedar." The word means "black," and may refer to the colour of
      the water or the gloom of the ravine, or the black green of the
      cedars which grew there. John 18:1, "Cedron," only here in New
      Testament. (See {KIDRON}.)
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kidron
      = Kedron = Cedron, turbid, the winter torrent which flows
      through the Valley of Jehoshaphat, on the eastern side of
      Jerusalem, between the city and the Mount of Olives. This valley
      is known in Scripture only by the name "the brook Kidron." David
      crossed this brook bare-foot and weeping, when fleeing from
      Absalom (2 Sam. 15:23, 30), and it was frequently crossed by our
      Lord in his journeyings to and fro (John 18:1). Here Asa burned
      the obscene idols of his mother (1 Kings 15:13), and here
      Athaliah was executed (2 Kings 11:16). It afterwards became the
      receptacle for all manner of impurities (2 Chr. 29:16; 30:14);
      and in the time of Josiah this valley was the common cemetery of
      the city (2 Kings 23:6; comp. Jer. 26:23).
     
         Through this mountain ravine no water runs, except after heavy
      rains in the mountains round about Jerusalem. Its length from
      its head to en-Rogel is 2 3/4 miles. Its precipitous, rocky
      banks are filled with ancient tombs, especially the left bank
      opposite the temple area. The greatest desire of the Jews is to
      be buried there, from the idea that the Kidron is the "valley of
      Jehoshaphat" mentioned in Joel 3:2.
     
         Below en-Rogel the Kidron has no historical or sacred
      interest. It runs in a winding course through the wilderness of
      Judea to the north-western shore of the Dead Sea. Its whole
      length, in a straight line, is only some 20 miles, but in this
      space its descent is about 3,912 feet. (See {KEDRON}.)
     
         Recent excavations have brought to light the fact that the old
      bed of the Kidron is about 40 feet lower than its present bed,
      and about 70 feet nearer the sanctuary wall.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Kitron
      knotty, a city of Zebulun (Judg. 1:30), called also Kattath
      (Josh. 19:15); supposed to be "Cana of Galilee."
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Kidron, obscure; making black or sad
  

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Kitron, making sweet; binding together
