I spoke this morning with the County Clerk's Office in Weston, West Virginia and confirmed with them my previously stated conclusion that the date of death of Thomas Kincaid (Lucinda Claypole) was 1873 not 1875. As I mentioned in my prior emails, I had based this on the page numbers relative to the location of other year's records in the original Death Registry maintained by Lewis County in the Courthouse from a personal visit. The clerk confirmed to me that following page 81-82 there were additional 1873 deaths followed by pages containing deaths for 1874 and 1875. This I believe settles this issue to my satisfaction and confirms my prior statements that the order of pages in the Death Registry mandates 1873 as the death date for Thomas Kincaid of Lewis County WV. This may change a numbers of prior assessments and verifications. I also indicated that I may ask the Clerk for a formal statement when I next visit Weston. The Clerk's representative indicated that would be possible. Cheers and I will "translate" the Lewis deeds at some point in the near future.
