Thanks, Don. When I click on the http://www.FamilyTreeDNA.com<http://www.familytreedna.com/> site that you list below, I can only find the basic mtDNA test for $129.00. I cannot see an offer for the mtDNAPlus test. On another site, I did see this test offered for $189.00 or so. How do we get access to the Plus test at the $139 price you list below? Don L.

Hi Everyone. Peter, the way you describe the descendents of Alexander the provost, it looks like the DNA link may not have been broken by his son not having any children himself. If the heir was a grandson of his Alexander the Provost's brother, then any male descendents would share a common ancester and could be identified by DNA matching. So, the question, as always, is how many children did the heir (grandson) have and were any male with further descendents, perhaps some who came to the new world.

I found this on "Daffnet" a site for Daffodil growers. It is out of stock right now, but check back later. Treasa from So. Illinois For those of you who wish for the magic of Irish soil to grow your daffodils in, you will be happy to know that it is available! I can't speak for the efficacy of the dirt because I haven't tried it myself, but came across the website by accident. http://89.234.45.183/index.htm -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I should note that so far it appears that the information about the early Hartford Kincaids was recorded for posterity by Harold Burtis Kincaid in the 1940s. However, this person had in his possession old Wills dating back to the early 1800s so clearly a fair bit of knowledge passed down to him. Some of the detail suggests good familiarity with the early ancestors. I will leave this to Ed to reveal as he desires or plans. Best wishes! Peter A.

On reading closer, I note that you have your James migrating to the US prior to the birth of Peter's David so any connection would be back at least one generation prior to James.

Unfortunately Richard this is not enough detail to link him. A more specific birth date would certainly help. In Scotland people considered Patrick and Peter the same name. Thus, your ancestor could have been baptized under either name. I don't see a Patrick or Peter baptized in Edinburgh for that timeframe. There are a couple of potential candidates if one looked west of Edinburgh. However, this is all speculation given that there is just a name and circa 1744 date. I think one might have to look at possible relations in Maine. This would help give a case for a link. For example, there was a John Kincaid in Boothbay, Maine who emigrated with a John Leishman of Falkirk in 1764. This suggests that the John Kincaid of Boothbay was the John Kincaid, son of Thomas Kincaid and Margaret Leishman who was baptized in Falkirk Parish on 23 October 1737. Thus, if further information could be found in Maine, or from some descendant, it help greatly. Best wishes! Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard B. Lake III, Esq.

This is what you wrote quite a while back about Alexander Kincaid, printer & provost of Edinburgh and his son Alexander: "Referring to my last post I want to make a correction in that on further examination it was not the Alexander Kincaid, printer and Lord Provost of Edinburgh who left money to the Chief's son but his son. It can be confusing looking at the records as both were H.M. Printer and both died in 1777. He gave legacies of L500 to John Kincaid of Kincaid, L500 to John Kincaid son of John Kincaid of Kincaid, L500 to Alexander Kincaid, son of John Kincaid of Kincaid, and L500 to Caroline Kincaid, daughter of John Kincaid of Kincaid. The date of the disposition is 24 March 1777 (Register of Deeds, vol. 237, pt. 1, p. 60). This suggests that the bequests relate to John Kincaid of that Ilk who Elizabeth Dainzell. They had ten children which included John (b. 1759), Alexander (b. 1773) and Carolina (b. 1762). Thus, it may be that the younger Alexander knowing his line was coming to an end settled large sums to the Chief and three of his children (ie. the Chief's heir and the children named after Alexander's parent - Alexander Kincaid and Caroline Kerr)." I found quite a bit on the internet by googling "Alexander Kincaid" and "William Creech". William Creech took over the business from the Kincaids, and he knew Sir Walter Scott and the poet Robert Burns. Possibly their books were printed by William Creech. Also Alexander Kincaid, Sr. gave books to Princeton ?University at the request of a Dr. Witherspoon. Barbara ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter A.

Congratulations on Kyle Jacob and Jennie Kincaid's having a new little tax exemption. What a great Christmas gift.

This is the article that was in the Portland Oregonian on Christmas Day, 2008: A booklet tells of an Oregon pioneer family's Christmas in a cabin Simplicity sets the festivities of 1853 far apart from today's holiday Thursday, December 25, 2008 NANCY HAUGHT The Oregonian Staff Christmas 1853 found Thomas and Nancy Kincaid settled in a one-room cabin near what is now Eugene. The couple and their five children had spent almost eight months on the Oregon Trail. They'd left the familiar comfort of their farm in Indiana for a place they prayed would be their Promised Land. The story of the Kincaids' first Christmas in Oregon Territory had long been a family favorite when Leonore Gale Barette wrote about her grandparents in 1950. Barette wanted to ensure that pioneer values -- courage, resourcefulness and sacrifice -- would not be forgotten by "almost every living person." Good gifts don't go out of style. Christmas 2008 comes with challenges that awaken the pioneer spirit in all people. Whatever the coming year holds, it will demand courage, resourcefulness and sacrifice. Revisiting the Kincaids' Christmas memories offers more than just a break in today's celebrations or a simple reminder of the spirit that forged Oregon. Reflecting on a pioneer Christmas may inspire hope in the face of an uncertain future. Barette's mother, Elizabeth Kincaid, was 10 in October 1853, when her father, Thomas, claimed a narrow strip of land on the edge of what would become Eugene. Thomas and his oldest son, Harrison, 17, worked dawn to dark, cutting and stripping logs, gathering stones for the fireplace and chimney and caring for the livestock that had survived the 2,500 miles from Indiana. So Barette sets the stage in her 15-page booklet, "Christmas in Oregon Territory in 1853." The Lane County Historical Society has reprinted the pamphlet, available at its bookstore for $3.50 (541-682-4242, www.lanecountyhistoricalsociety.org). Here are excerpts from Barette's book, used with permission from the Lane County Historical Society: "Early in the month of December, 1853, Grandfather and Harrison had finished a one-room log cabin with a fireplace for cooking. . . . Beds were made from trees . . . . The soft and fragrant tips of fir boughs were placed . . . to make a foundation for the wool mattresses and feather beds which Grandmother had brought across the plains . . . . The gay colored quilts . . . which had been used as wrapping for a few cherished dishes and other treasures, were unpacked. The plates and pieces of crockery were carefully placed on shelves built in the rough wall. . . . They were now at home. . . . "The days were nearing Christmas and Grandfather and Grandmother, remembering the joyous and merry times in the old home in Indiana with its full larder and storehouses to draw on, churches and stores within a day's driving distance, and their own friendly parents and relatives living nearby, felt they must try to make some small observance of the day. . . . "They were hard put to know what to do. They had nothing in the way of food with which to make a dinner festive, only flour, potatoes, a bit of dried fruit and a little brown sugar and some bacon. Their money was practically all spent in preparing for and making the long trip, in expenses incident to entering the homestead and in the purchase of a few essentials necessary to maintain life until spring. There was no church to attend in the little settlement of Eugene, even if the old oxen were again hitched to the creaking wagon. . . . There were no roads in 1853. Anyway, there was no place to go. . . . "A few rods from the cabin was a flowing spring which supplied the family with water, and on one side of this Harrison built a screen of fir boughs and small trees. It made a lovely little green wall. . . . At each end of the screen, he put in, carefully, stakes or long sticks which were full of pitch and which were wound about with string-like flexible pieces of pitchy wood. . . . "Shortly after dusk on Christmas eve the children heard loud clangs, big brother knocking on an iron from the old wagon. They all rushed out toward the spring. The pitchlights were burning gaily, sending up sparks and giving off the resinous, tangy odor which no one can ever forget. . . . "Harrison had made a little mask of fir twigs and attached it to a long beard of dry grasses, which he had collected around in the nearby brush and woods. He looked more like a wood elf than Santa Claus, but the children shouted with laughter when they saw him. . . . "The children finally went inside, where Grandmother had hurriedly set the crude homemade table, lighted with tallow candles. She used the few pretty dishes she had, and managed somehow an extra treat for the dinner. Supper they called it then. Grandfather had brought in a fat grouse and Grandmother had made, almost out of thin air, some little cakes. She had contrived a few little figures from potatoes with sticks for legs, and for their faces she scraped the skin from the tuber and had tiny buttons for eyes. They wore jaunty little hats made somehow from bits of paper and leaves. These centered the table, and the children admired them with 'Oh's' and 'Ah's' and wide eyes. . . . "After supper, Harrison put logs in the fireplace to build up a big crackling fire. Grandfather took down his worn Bible and read again the old old story of the Three Wise Men, The Shepherds Who Watched Their Flocks by Night, The Manger, The Birth of Christ. Never were the chapters more reverently read nor more intently absorbed than in that crude little log cabin. . . . "On that Christmas evening so long ago, the Kincaid family had been in Lane County, in the Territory of Oregon, for only seventy-five days, but they had a snug, warm little cabin, a beautiful hill claim with timber and clear sparkling water; they had some stock and planned to get more; they had a team of good horses, a friendly little dog; the children were in splendid health; a small school had just been started within walking distance over the hills. The road to the future looked promising and they all determined that if hard work and grit would lead to success, they would reach it." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sue Liedtke" <seleaml@actionnet.net> To: <kincaid@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 26, 2008 7:43 PM Subject: Re: [KINCAID] Merry Christmas! >I just got back from a very scary Christmas Eve Day trip to Portland from > Newport, OR.
