Sad to hear! I spoke to both he and his sister. His father was Rev. George Gillespie Kincaid who was born in County Donegal, Ireland. Rev. George's parents were George Kincaid and Catherine Gillespie. George's father was Hugh Kincaid, a miller, who at onetime was of Kilcadden. Rev. Joseph Kinkead had ties to Kilcadden so I suspected he was of the Baronscourt Kinkeads. I thought a DNA test someday might confirm this. My sympathies to the family! Best wishes!
