Notes for Lucinda KINCAID From Early Life and Times in Boone Co., Indiana 1887 Harden & Spahr, FHL film #547205 Item 2 Prominent among the farmers of Boone County are the Kincaids, there being several different families of them. They reside in the eastern part of the county, about eight miles east of Lebanon. John Kincaid, the person I write about in this sketch, was born in Washington County, Pa., March 16, 1795. He was a son of John and Martha Kincaid, the youngest of nine children, he being the only one that yet survives. He served as an apprentice at the cabinet trade, and worked at that business until he took up the trade of gunsmithing. Mr. Kincaid went as a substitute in the War of 1812, about August, for Robert Carr; served until November of the same year and was discharged. In the year of 1815, February 2, he was united in marriage to Miss Christina Pope, who was born in Trumble County, O., 1791, and survived until July 10, 1885. You may count it up, and you will find that they lived together as man and wife about seventy years, a very uncommon thing. They resided in Trumble County, O., until the spring of 1848, when they moved to where he yet resides with his son Frederick. He and his wife both joined the Methodist Episcopal Church at the same time, in the year 1827, of which they have been constant members ever since, attending services when health would permit. The first vote he ever cast was for James Monroe, and has always voted the Democratic ticket, until he voted for Peter Cooper, which was the last vote he ever cast. Mr. Kincaid has a relic, an old coffee-mill which his father and mother used. It is now in the neighborhood of 120 years old, and still it grinds. He has raised a family of six children, of whom three are yet living, as follows: Frederick was born December 14, 1815, now living on the old homestead, of whom you will see a sketch in our book; Sarah A., born September 26, 1818, married John Dunlap, and died April 8, 1875; Lucinda, born February 2, 1821, married William McIlree, died July 3, 1850; John, born October 17, 1822, married Mandy Cemens, resides in Trimble County, O.; Calvin R., born July 25, 1826, died July 21, 1830; Mandy S., born September 3, 1829, married Homer Davis, not living together, she resides in Shakopee, Harrison County, Minnesota. Mr. And Mrs. Kincaid have lived a very happy life. He has always been a hard-working man, gunsmithing being his favorite trade, farming some through the summer season. He is at present very feeble; resides on his old stamping-ground, with his son Frederick, and looked after with great care. References
