Jim, Thanks for letting us know about The History of a Kincaid Family! We bought the online version and find it very interesting. The letters and other documents are very valuable information. I was especially entrigued with the letter from Cecelia Kincaid Lonsdale Ager written in 1829 which details her parents and grandparents. She was the daughter of John Kincaid and Margaret Blair of Bannockburn. Her grandfather was David Kincaid. Do you know if any of your direct line Kincaid's have done a dna test. If so we would like to be put in touch with them and if not we would be highly interested in having one or more do the 37 marker dna test offered by Family Tree DNA. We have 2 Kincaid dna participants who show descent from Bannockburn Kincaid and both are in Group F on the Kincaid DNA results chart. Are either of these your kin? Don W.

The History of a Kincaid Family, by James Newman and Katherine Kincaid Newman, available from Lulu.com (336 pages, paperback, $16.44 plus shipping, delivery in about 10 days). This is the history of some of the descendants of John Kincaid of Bannockburn, Scotland. The line of descent is John(1), John(2), John(3), David(4), William (5), William (6), Kate(7) to William(8). The family left Bannockburn for London about 1764, where they were silk weavers. In 1847, their business failed, and they emigrated to Canada and then western New York. Some remained there, and others have spread across the United States. The book is compiled mostly from family records. It includes many family letters from the 1820's and 1860's, photographs, paintings and descriptions of heirlooms passed down to the present. Many of the known (to us) side lines of descent are included. We tried to document carefully, so there are more than 250 references. The cost of the book is the cost of printing and distribution - we chose not to make a profit. We hope some other Kincaid cousins will find it useful and can share additional information!
