    1. Re: [KINCAID] RW pension application of William Hamilton/Ruth Wilson

    3. This William and Andrew are sons of William/Alice (Mann or Morrison) Hamilton of the Little Calf Pasture. (see answer to other e-mail) Hamilton researchers say William/Alice and Andrew/Martha Kincaid Hamilton were siblings. William is listed as b 1705 Co. Tyrone d 1788 Barb, thank you for finding this. It establishes the marriage date of William as after he sold Jackson River land to Andrew/Mary Kincaid on 27 June 1780. No wife is mentioned on the deed. I was pretty sure it was this William since he bought the land from Alexander Hamilton, who lived next to Andrew/Mary on the Little Calf Pasture and the land is in a community where several daughters of William/Alice lived. William/Alice sold Little Calf Pasture land to Alexander in 1767.
