Thanks Peter, I was hoping it might be an original research source but was afraid it was not because of what it stated and thus asked about it. I assume you see no problems with the info on James Kincaid of District of Columbia. Don ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter A.

I am confident that James Kincaid, son of James Kincaid of that Ilk lived in and died in the District of Columbia. This is established in the Lennox of Woodhead Estate papers in the Glasgow City Archives. They contain two letters written in 1825 to George Kincaid (brother of John Kincaid of Kincaid) from their brother, James Kincaid of Georgetown, District of Columbia [Glasgow City Archives, Glasgow, UK. Lennox of Woodhead Papers, T-LX 10/11]. The family charts of Heather Veronica Kincaid of Kincaid records that he died in Georgetown, on 10 June 1827. The inventory of the estate papers also note two sons of which the son John was living in New Orleans. It seems to me that he is in the 1820 Federal Census for the District of Columbia, Washington, Georgetown as: James Kincaid, a. 45+, 2 males 18-26; 1 female 45+. James Kincaid, son of John Kincaid of that Ilk and Elizabeth Danziel, was born on 13 June 1770 and baptized in Campsie Parish, Stirling on 19 June 1770. The New York Evening Post records the death of Jas. Kincaid, age 53, at Georgetown, D.C. on Sunday 10 June 1827 in its 13 June 1827 issue. This is consistent with what Heather Veronica Kincaid of Kincaid had in her family chart. As far as the sons are concerned, the family chart of Heather Veronica Kincaid notes a son James who died in 1828 in New Orleans and a son John who died in New Orleans on 8 May 1833. Given the specific date for John I see no reason to doubt this. However, the Lennox of Woodhead Estate papers give the sons as John and George so I wonder about Heather's James dying in 1828.
