We received a packet of many documents from a descendant of David/Winifred Kincaid yesterday and she also included copies of letters from the U S Consul in Panama to a John Kincaid's sister Margaret Kincaid of Dalton GA. The Consul's letter said John boarded ship at San Francisco and had placed 19 & 7/8 ounces of gold dust in safekeeping with the Captain. Margaret filed Letters of Administration for John's estate. If anyone on the Kincaid List wants copies of the 4 pages notify my privately and I will send you a copy. Don
Don, I would like a copy of the letters and also the name and address of the lady who sent these documents to you. The John Kincaid who died on the ship was a grandson of Burroughs Kinkead, Winifred and David's second son. They were originally from this area in Tennessee. John's father was Long David Kinkead (he spelled his name as Kinkead but his children started spelling it as Kincaid), who moved to this area in the late 1770's and died in Hawkins County, TN, in 1829. Would love to contact the descendant. Thanks.
