    3. Lifford, County Donegal is just on the border with County Tyrone. It is really just across the river from Strabane. Baronscourt is only about 9 miles southeast. The reason that Rev. Joseph Kinkead is said to have been born in Drumboy/Drumbuoy is because this is what is stated in the Fasti of the Irish Presbyterian Church and in the history of Killinchy, County Down where he preached (Killinchy: A brief history of Christianity in the District). It was noted to me that the Fasti article drew on his death notice in the Belfast Newsletter on 26 July 1782. I have yet to get a copy of this. Perhaps some of you have access to the newspaper database for the Belfast Newsletter and can post it. The Drumboy near Lifford is literally adjacent to Lifford (almost directly north). Just above Drumboy is Edenmore which is the estate of the Cochranes of Edenmore. This is the family that Rev. Joseph Kinkead married into. While they note this Drumboy, I have often wondered if this was a misplacement. There is also a Drumboy near Newtown Cunningham. There were Kinkeads in this townland in the mid 1700s. There was also a Drumnabuoy adjacent to Stragullin (south of Strabane). There were Kinkeads there as well. The Will abstract of John Kinkead of Island McHugh mentions his brother Rev. Joseph Kinkead. Island McHugh is at Baronscourt. Rev. Joseph Kinkeads grandson left family history of the family and he places the family first about Baronscourt. This is why I refer to them as the Baronscourt Kinkeads. If it can be proven that they were dominant in another area before that, I would refer to them as a branch of that line. Best wishes!

John Gwynn of Lifford, County Donegal, married a McElwaine...See paragraphs below. Why is it believed that Rev. Joseph Kincaid was born in County Donegal if the Baronscourt Kincaids were in the County Tyrone records at that time?
