Of interest there was a Charles Kinkead of Jamaica and Florida. Wonder if he is a descendant of the earlier Charles. Charles Kinkead (October 3, 1913 - June 1, 2007) was a Jamaican photojournalist and journalist. Kinkead worked as a news photographer for a number of Jamaican publications during his career. Among the newspapers who he worked for were The Gleaner, the Jamaica Standard, the Daily News, and the Jamaica Times, a weekly newspaper publication. While working at the Daily News, Kinkead won the Seprod Human Interest Photograph Award in 1973. In 1978, Kinkead also won a national Jamaican award, the Order of Distinction, for his "for his contribution in the field of photo-journalism". Kinkead moved to Florida in the 1980s to retire. He died of a stroke on June 1, 2007 at a Florida hospital after becoming ill at his home in Pembroke Pines. He was 93 when he died and was survived by his wife and five children. Also Dr. Edmund Clarke Kinkead, ancestor of Cookie Kinkead was born in Jamaica in 1873. His father was Edward Daniel Kinkead & mother was Urselena Clarke. EDK ran a drug store, which is still operated today by Kinkead female descendants. Cookie's father was Richard (Dick) Kinkead and her grandfather was Frank Kinkead. We are still trying to contact Joe Kinkead of Kingston in hopes he will do the dna test. Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter A.

I have located some new tidbits on Charles Kinkead that makes me wonder if there were two contemporary Charles Kinkeads in Strabane; one a merchant and the other a watchmaker. Hard to tell for certain. Regardless, a Charles Kinkead went to the Caribbean from Northern Ireland. I found a contemporary Charles Kinkead in Jamaica. This could be the Strabane merchant as he traded in items from Jamaica so might have travelled back and forth until he failed in Strabane in 1769. On the other hand the Jamaican Charles could be a cousin of Charles of Strabane and could be the source for some American Kinkeads. The Jamaican records are: Charles Kinkead and Mary Newton Jarrett were married in Hanover, Jamaica on 17 July 1762 [FamilySearch. Caribbean Marriages, 1591-1905]. Mary would appear to have been of the wealthy Jamaican family of Nicholas Jarrett who married Sarah Newton. It would appear that this Charles also had illegitimate children: Mary Kinkead, age 12 years, illegitimate child of Charles Kinkead by Sarah Witter, was baptized in April 1768 in St. Elizabeth Parish [St. Elizabeth Parish Register I & II, 1707-1825. Volme I, p. 29]. Little Kinkead, age 9 years, illegitimate child of Charles Kinkead by Sarah Witter, was baptized in April 1768 in St. Elizabeth Parish [St. Elizabeth Parish Register I & II, 1707-1825. Volme I, p. 29]. Millie Kinkead, age about 9 years, illegitimate child of Charles Kinkead by Sarah Witter, was baptized in April 1768 in St. Elizabeth Parish [St. Elizabeth Parish Register I & II, 1707-1825. Volme I, p. 29]. Please let me know if you find anything that may relate to the Charles Kinkead of Jamaica. Best wishes!
