Notes

From The Kincaid History, by Richard Bradley (e-mail: richardbrabazon@@email.msn.com) http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/7410/kincaidchapter.htm

Doug McGuire has provided me with information on his research in which he traces another Thomas Kincaid, Jr., the one married to Isabella, as the son of Thomas Kincaid and Margaret Lockhart. This Thomas Kincaid, Jr. was referred to as a Blacksmith in deeds in mid 1770's. He and his brother, William Kincaid, the Stiller, owned land on the Calfpasture River. Thomas was born about 1741, according to Doug McGuire, and the children of Thomas & Isabella were Elizabeth, Andrew, Thomas, David, Archibald, John, William, and Robert who later show up in Bath and Monroe Co., VA The following Augusta Co. Records apparently belong to this other Thomas Kincaid although it is possible that some may concern our Thomas Kincaid of Muddy Creek Mountain:

Following allowed Certificates for land for military service... Wm. Kinkead, Thomas Kinkead, John Montgomery, of Capt. Lewis' Company, Boquet's Expedition, 1764.*9

June 15, 1770: Moses McElvain and wife Margaret of the County of Augusta sold to Thomas Kincaid of Augusta County 260 acres on the south side of the great river of the Calfpasture lying between William Kinkeads and Robert Gwins land originally conveyed by James Loughridge to McElvain.
