Dear Kincaid listers, I have had recent email correspondence with a John Freischlag of Wilson, NY. I received an email from him asking if the I would be interested in preserving a collection of documents pertaining to William Wallace Kincaid who died in Niagara County, NY in 1948. John scanned some of the documents and sent them via email. Needless to say I was very excited to find out that there was a Xerox paper sized box full of documents pertaining to William Wallace Kincaid's Spirella Corporation and some genealogical information as well. This box was in the attic of the Kincaid house which was later owned by John's wife's family. Although I would love to be going through that box myself, I advised John that the collection really needs to stay in New York or Pennsylvania as it pertains to the history of that area. I recall writing to the Niagara County, NY historical society to see if they had a William Wallace Kincaid collection and they said no. This, indeed, was a wonderful find. There is a hand written note apparently by William Wallace Kincaid that states that he did not know the names of his grandfather John Kincaid's parents who came to Erie County, PA about 1800. He corresponded with the Clerk of Courts in Cumberland County, PA. But he didn't investigate what was at the Erie County Court House where his great-grandfather's estate papers were filed under John Kinkead, of Union Township, Erie County, PA. Anyway, I'd sure like to be going through that box of Kincaid papers right now. But technology is wonderful and John Freisclag has been able to share some of this information with me. Sincerely Norman Kincaide
