I've been reading these posts for several months with interest - especially after touring Scotland this past August and staying overnight at the Kincaid House in Campsie. I have not had dna testing and am unsure how it might benefit me or others. I am of the New York state Kincaids (Utica area) and can substantiate my direct fraternal line back as follows: Frederick W. Kincaid III (me) 02/26/1944 - Frederick W. Kincaid Jr. 04/18/1904 - 09/30/1974 Frederick W. Kincaid Sr. 05/04/1867- 01/26/1936 James Carlise Parshall Kincaid Sr. 05/301840 - 09/15/1919 George Kincaid 10/12/1818 - 03/29/1893 (records indicate he was born at some point during his parents' voyage from Dublin, Ireland to New York City.) George Kincaid I have no records concerning him but know that he and his wife (Margaret Culbertson) were born in Scotland. I would very much like to learn more about him and be able to trace the line further back. Thanks for reading. Any help will be appreciated. Fred Kincaid

Hi, Fred, A DNA test by you would show a direct DNA link back to Scotland and would either validate Kincaid DNA samples from Scotland or Ireland by matching those samples. Or if your DNA did not match, then your line would indicate a separate lineage.

Sure glad to have you post. Nice to see new lines. I believe you are the first Kincaid here I've seen descended from the Utica, New York Kincaids. Tamara here posted a bit on your family as in the Parshall family history. See: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/kincaid/2003-09/1064798155 I suspect you are aware of this source. I assume it is the source of the marriage to Margaret Culbertson. Do you know what your first George did in Utica? Was he a farmer?

Found a couple of interesting tidbits on your family. The first is a death notice of one of the sons, Rev. William Morris Kincaid. It states that his father was born in Inverness, Scotland. The other is of a son of James and it states that the family was of a a long military career in Scotland. ***** January 10.-New was received in this city yesterday of the death of Rev. Dr. William Morris Kincaid, former pastor of Central Union Church, who passed away at Charlottee, North Carolin, on the 2nd of January, 1911. At the time of his death he was pastor of the First Presbyterian Church of that City. Doctor Kincaid was born in Utica, New York, about sixty years ago. His father was George Kincaid, a Scotsman from Inverness; his mother was a French Huguenot. His boyhood was passed in Utica, where he was prepared for college in the public schools of the city. After four years' collegiate training at Williams College in Massachusetts, under the great educator, Mark Hopkins, he graduated with honors in 1872. His theological course he obtained at the Baptist Seminary in Rochester, New York, and his first pastorate was at Cortland, New York, from 1875 to 1878. He then went to Rondout, the same State, and served a pastorate there until 1881, when he accepted a call to the First Baptist Church of San Francisco. In 1890 he resigned that position and left the Baptist Church at the same time. In that year he became a Presbyterian and received a call from Minneapolis, where he remained until coming to Honolulu in September, 1898. He was installed as pastor of Central Union Church on the tenth of December of that year, and served here until June, 1906. when he accepted a call from the First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte, a congregation having a membership of nearly 1000. During his residence in Honolulu, Doctor Kincaid became a prominent personage, and his departure was regretted by a large circle of friends. He took a great interest in Hawaiian affairs, and his address at the Mohonk Conference in 1905, was but one of the notable occasions upon which he presented local subjects for the consideration of the Nation. He was credited also with doubling the membership of Central Union Church during his pastorate. The degreee of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by William College in 1904. He was a warm friend of Harry Pratt Judson, president of the University of Chicago, and served as university preacher for that institution last spring. [The Honolulu Times, Honolulu, Hawaii. Vol. IX. No. 5 (1 February 1911), p. 5, cols 2-3. ***** ***** KINCAID, FREDERICK W.--In June, 1841, George Kincaid came to Utica from New York city. He was a direct descendant of a family once prominent in Scotland military history, and was one of the pioneers to California in 1849, where he attained prominence in quartz mining. He returned in 1861 and from that time his life was spent in Utica. He was a Mason of high degree, and for many years was an officer of Utica Commandery Knights Templar, and at one time was its eminent commander. He had four sons and one daughter, all living. He died in 1893. His oldest son, J. C. P. Kincaid, who has spent his life in Utica, was born in 1840 and was for many years a merchant. In 1873 he was appointed United States collector of internal revenue, and served under Presidents Grant, Hayes, and Garfield and a short time under Arthur. He was also for six years a school commissioner of Utica and for four years president of the board. First Lieutenant Frederick W. Kincaid, of the Utica Citizen Corps, Forty-fourth Separate Co., N. G. S. N. Y., his oldest living son, was born in 1867, and has attained a high reputation as an officer in the National Guard. He, with two brothers now deceased, Alrick G. and J. C. P., jr., have with their father been active members of that famous organization. Both great-grandfathers on his mother's side were soldiers of the Revolution and one on his father's side was a veteran of 1812. (p. 240-241) [Oneida County, New York Biographies. Wager, Daniel. Our County and Its People, Part III: Family Sketches. Boston: The Boston History Company, 1896. http://home.comcast.net/~richardson156/wagerk.html#kincaidfw]. ***** Inverness is not a spot known for Kincaids. Perhaps given the military note, your George I's father was military and stationed at Fort George outside of Inverness. Best wishes!
