James Kincaid
Birth: unknown, Scotland
Death: 1764
Albemarle County
Virginia, USA
James Kincaid was also known as James Kinkead. The Kincaid Family Burying Ground is a wooded, rocky knoll in a field north of Stockton's Creek, a branch of Mechum's River in Albemarle County, Virginia. There were still markers at the Kincaid Family Burying Ground until about 1950. Joseph Kincaid, who purchased this property in 1746, is also buried there.
Deed records prove that James' widow was Jean, maybe Jean (nee Mitchell) Kincaid. After the death of James she appears to have moved to Rockbridge County, Virginia.
ALBEMARLE COUNTY IN VIRGINIA
by Rev. Edgar Woods, 1901
KINKEAD
The Kinkeads were early settlers in the western part of Albemarle county, Virginia. As far as can be made out, there were three brothers of the name, David, Joseph and James. In 1746 David patented nearly eight hundred acres on the north fork of Rockfish, and the next year four hundred more on Stockton's Creek. By entry and purchase together, the family connection became owners of not far from three thousand acres in that vicinity. Joseph, James and John, probably the sons of Joseph, appear as subscribers to the call of Rev. Samuel Black in 1747. The homes of Joseph and James were situated about half a mile west of Immanuel Church, on the place now owned by Rev. Dabney Davis. An old graveyard, a few hundred yards south of Mr. Davis's house, is still known in the neighbor-hood as the Kinkead burying ground; a broken down wall, and a few rough stones, are all that mark the spot. James died in 1762, leaving three sons, Thomas, John and James, and probably two more, Matthew and Andrew, and a daughter, the wife of Ninian Clyde. Joseph died in 1774. His children were Jean, the wife of Hugh Alexander, John, and Ruth, the wife of Andrew Grier.
Hugh Alexander had a mill, which at one time was a noted centre in that section; roads were made to it from every quarter. It was built on Stockton's Creek, not far from the foot of the hill west of Hillsboro. In subsequent years it was known as Keye's, and still later as Humphrey's Mill. It is supposed Andrew Grier was one of the early merchants of that vicinity. He was the owner of nearly six hundred acres adjoining Yellow Mountain, which, likely in liquidation of his debts, he conveyed in 1766 to Jeremiah Parker and Richard Warden, merchants of Philadelphia. In the course of years part of this land passed into the hands of John Lobban Jr., and part into the hands of Dr. Peter B. Bowen. A grandson of Joseph Kinkead married a daughter of Adam Dean, an other early settler on Stockton's Creek, and in December 1898, there died in Greenbrier County, Adam Dean Kinkead 
, doubtless their son, at the age of ninety-two. All of the kindred bearing the name, seem to have removed from the county before the close of the last century. Its latest appearance on the records occurs in 1784, when Jean, the widow of James, sold to Abner Wood a parcel of land in what is known as the Piper and Patrick neighborhood. She was at that time a resident of Rockbridge County. In the Black call the name is spelled Kincaid.

It appears that Rev. Woods was mistaken about the location of the Kincaid Family Burying Grounds.
Note: Adam Dean Kincaid was not a grandson of Joseph but a grandson of Andrew Kincaid and son of James Kincaid....a different line of Kincaids.
