(K5) "This Indenture made this 26th day of August 1811 Witnesseth that John H. Phelps by order of Caldwell County Court and who is clerk to said court hath bound out Nancy Dennis orphan of Absalom Dennis aged Eleven years the 28th of May 1811 to Samuel Kinkade to be taught the art and mystery of the spinsters [spinner of yarn] trade, and the said Nancy Dennis to to serve the said Samuel Kinkade from the day of the date hereof until she arrives to the age of Eighteen years during which term the said Nancy Dennis heer said Master shall faithfully save his secrets keep and all lawful commands cheerfully obey, hurt to her said master she shall not wilfully do, or suffer to be done by others, the goods of her said master she shall not embezzle, or waste nor them use without his consent to any person, matrimony she shall not contract, fornication she shall not commit, from the service of her said master she shall not depart or absent herself without her said masters consent, but in all things a good and faithful servant shall and will demean herself and behave toward her said master, "And the said Kinkade shall and will teach her the said Nancy Dennis the art and mystery of the Spinster trade in all its various branches, truly and perfectly so far as the said Nancy is capable of learning.

In Testimony whereof the said Samuel Kinkade hath hereunto set his hand and affixed his seal this day and year first in this indenture written Samuel Kinkade {seal} Elizabeth Kinkade {seal} Teste Ebenezer Miller Hugh Kinkade Page 104 - A second indenture between the same parties and same witnesses dated the same day for 700 acres for two thousand dollars. The difference between the value of the two properties is that the one for 200 acres is on the Donaldson river and the one for 700 acres is not. (K17) The following is found in the "Combined History of Edwards, Lawrence and Wabash Counties, Illinois", published in 1883. "The township of Lukin, in Lawrence County, is bounded on the north by Christy and Bridgeport, on the east by Dennison, and on the south and west respectively by Wabash and Richland counties. The surface was originally, for the most part, of timber. Lukins and Ruarks prairies were open areas. Bonpas and Little Raccoon creek receive many tributaries within the borders of the township, and supply water and drainage. This portion of the county began to receive settlements about 1816. The Ruark family came in 1816, and Jacob Schrader arrived in 1817. Samuel Kinkaid arrived in 1819. Samuel Kinkaid was a native of New Jersey, to which his father and mother came, at an early day, from Ireland. The former [Samuel's father] was there killed by Indians, and the mother and three of the children were led captive and taken west. Samuel escaped entirely, but the youngest of the children were dashed against a tree and killed. The mother was recovered from her captors at Kaskaskia by a French trader named Larchette, who afterward married her. By the provisions of a treaty the three captive boys were set at liberty. About 1760, Samuel, in company with an Indian guide, passed the northern part of Lawrence county in search of his mother and brothers, and made his way to Kaskaskia, where he found the former. Samuel served as a soldier in the army of the revolution, was an Indian fighter, and always lived on the frontier. In 1819, he came to Lawrence County with three sons, Hugh, William and George, and a daughter Ealsa Miller, a widow with eight children. Hugh and William settled in the extreme northeast corner of Lukin township, and George settled in Allison. Ealsa Miller settled in Bridgeport. William was a Christian minister, and was the first to preach in the old Spring Hill church. Samuel died a short time after his arrival at the age of eighty-seven years. He bore on his body the scars of five wounds received from the Indians. When Samuel moved to Illinois, he brought with him his sons George Wilson, William, Hugh and a widowed daughter Ealsa (Alcy) Miller."

Some sources claim that a William Kincaid married Elizabeth Wilson, daughter of George Wilson and Elizabeth McCreary, but the following reference from Augusta County, VA records place the husband of Elizabeth Wilson as SAMUEL Kincaid, not William:
