In September 2008, there were several posts to the Kincaid List about James Kincaid, 3rd son of John Kincaid of Kincaid. We are in the process of looking for additional information on James and his 2 sons. In addition to the 1820 census information Peter & Barbara provided, we have found that a James Kincaid went through the Naturalization process in District of Columbia, Jan 31, 1820 according to the NARA index. We suspect this is the James, son of John. We also found a James Kincaid on the Passenger & Immigration Lists Index for the year 1807. We found this 1807 immigration info on 4 different indexes and believe this is the James, son of John Kincaid of Kincaid but to verify this I am hoping some Kincaid List member will have one of the books that have the indexes to see if there is any additional info. One is entitled Directory of Scottish Settlers in North America 1625-1825 by David Dobson. Another book is Ship Passenger Lists, the South (1538-1825) by Carl Boyer. Another is New World Immigrants: A Consolidation of Ship Passenger Lists and Associated Data from Periodical Literature by Michael Tepper. The last one is Donald Whytes A Dictionary of Scottish Emigrants to the USA, Vol. 1 We also found the same death date for James Kincaid, son of John as June 10, 1827 and as a resident of Georgetown. We also found another James Kincaid for the year 1798 in Kenneth Scott's Resident Aliens Enabled to Hold Land in New York State, 1790-1825 which might be of interest to someone. Another interesting tidbit was found about Charles E. Kincaid, one time Sec. to the Governor of KY and later news reporter who shot and killed a congressman but was never charged since it was determined to be self defense. On Sept. 3rd, 1884 Charles was granted a passport. Charles is from my line and apparently was quite a character according to the stories on him. I suspect there may be some Congressmen today who might want to kill the news reporters who report on their shady dealings! We have several new prospects for the dna tests and one new participant.

We have all 4 works in our Genealogy Center collection at the Allen County Public Library in Fort Wayne, IN. I have checked all 4 and will cite the one with the fullest information all 4 offering the same information re: James Kincaid. >From Boyer's Ship Passenger Lists... v. 3 p. 103 "Kincaid, James; nativity, Glasgow, Scotland; arrived at Alexandria in the ship William and John, Capt. Woodhouse, in 1807; Declaration of Intention, 30 Apr. 1816; Proof of Residence, 29 Jan. 1820, witnesses, John Laird, John Murdock; naturalization granted 31 Jan. 1820." The Whyte volume had these 2 additional entries (in addition to the above) for James Kincaid " Kincaid, James. From Edinburgh. Son of Alexander K., pharmacist. Settled Augusta County, Virginia, ca 1746. Jacobite. (K.F.R., 9)" "Kincaid, James. From Stirlingshire. Grandson of John K. of Gartcows. To U.S. before 1835. Heir to his aunt, Elizabeth K. (S.H.)" >>> "Don W Kincaid" <[email protected]> 12/8/2010 1:28 PM >>> In September 2008, there were several posts to the Kincaid List about James Kincaid, 3rd son of John Kincaid of Kincaid.
