Anna Gregory Kincaid, widow of RW soldier John Kincaid, b. 1749 in Carlisle, Cumberland County, PA used A. S. Wallace of Yorkville, York County, SC as her attorney in the 1850's to obtain her widow's pension after husband John Kincaid's death in 1836/37 in Lincoln Co, NC. She had to prove that she was his widow, and included in the RW files are two Bible pages which named their children. The second page gave dates for when John Kincaid took the sacrament of communion at the Bethel congregation in York County, SC. Also included in the files is the date of their marriage in York County---1817. Anna was born in 1793. This John Kincaid is in set 2b, DNA # 93625. Several pages of Anna Kincaid's RW papers(over 100 pages of records for John and Anna Kincaid)at footnote.com mention A. S. Wallace. He was Alexander Stewart Wallace, son of McCasland Wallace and Catherine Stewart. McCasland Wallace was living with his son Alexander S. Wallace in the 1850 York County, SC census. We know that McCasland Wallace was the son of an Oliver Wallace as this relationship is established in the RW pension files of William Wallace m. to Ruth Porter, which also prove that McCasland and William Wallace were brothers. 1.. McCasland WALLACE - b. 1773, at sea enroute from Ireland to SC; d. Mar. 30, 1862, Yorkville, York Co., SC. In an affidavit of Apr. 7, 1847, McCasland, a resident of York District, SC, is identified as a brother of William WALLACE and Janie McCULLOUGH. The following is abstracted from the Apr. 3, 1862 issue of the Yorkville Enquirer: "Departed this life on Sabbath, 30th March, in the 89th year of his age, McCaslan D. Wallacecame from Ireland to this country in the year 1773. During the voyage, Mrs. Wallace gave birth to a son, the subject of this obituary." [Mar. 30, 1862 was, indeed, a Sunday. It is believed that the given names of McCaslan D. is due to a misunderstanding of the single name McCasland or an abstracting error. A full transcription of the obituary is desired.] Married Catherine STUART, daughter of Alexander STUART of York Co., SC. Children: U. S. Rep. Alexander Stuart WALLACE married Nancy Lee RATCHFORD (two sons and four daughters); James WALLACE married Margaret Ewart BARNETT; and four daughters WALLACE (evidence for daughters not seen). A. S. Wallace represented many South Carolina RW soldiers or their families in obtaining their pensions, as his name is shown on the records at footnote.com hundreds of times. The question is whether A. S. Wallace, grandson of Oliver Wallace of County Tyrone>York County, SC was related to John Kinkead/Anna or to James Kincaid/Susannah Black. James Kincaid's RW pension application says that he was born in 1762 in County Tyrone and he came with his family to South Carolina about 1773.
