*REMOND S. KINCHLOE*
Remond S. Kincheloe, for a number of years past engaged in business at Wheeling, W. Va., is a native of Fairfax county, Va., born in 1845. In the same county his father was born, Daniel Kincheloe,a farmer by occupation, and a soldier of the war of 1812, whodied in the year 1860. In the spring of 1861 young Kincheloe,then but sixteen years of age, enlisted as a private in
Company G of the Eighth Virginia infantry, commanded by Col. Eppa Hunton. With the well-known and gallant record of this command he was identified until the summer of 1862, when, on account of ill health and his youth, he resigned from the service. Soon afterward, however, in the fall of the same year, he re-entered the army as and independent scout, the capacity in which he continued until the close of the war, being principally associated with an independent command under his cousin, James C. Kincheloe, which operated between the Orange & Alexandria railroad and the Potomac river. Mr. Kincheloe was also closely identified with many of the operations of Mosby's command. In these daring forays and frequent skirmishes with the Federal forces, the success of which demanded the utmost nerve and personal courage, he was among the most active and untiring. During his service with the Eighth regiment he shared the fighting of Cocke's brigade at First Manassas, took part in the battle of Ball's Bluff, and during the Peninsular campaign fought in Pickett's brigade at Williamsburg, Seven Pines and through the Seven Days' campaign. He was once captured, while at his home in Fairfax, in the fall of 1862,and was sent to Centreville, but was paroled two weeks later. After being finally paroled at Winchester, in April, 1865, he returned to his native county and engaged in farming. A year later he entered mercantile life at Orange Court House, and continued in business in Fauquier county and Clarksburg and Moundsville, W. Va., until 1878, when he made his home at Wheeling, where he is now successfully conducting a wholesale fruit business. In 1879 Mr. Kincheloe was married in Orange county, Va., to Mary O Dade., daughter of the late Dr. L. T. Dade, and niece of Gen. Langhorne Dade, who lost his life in the Seminole war.
Our records indicate he was the s/o Daniel Kincheloe and Winifred Calvert, living in home with father Daniel Kincheloe in 1850 and later with father and second wife Courtney Ann Vowles Kincheloe in Fairfax Co Va.
