I wrote and uploaded most of the information that is on the Clan Kincaid wijipedia website. Peter A.

Who else is planning on this tour or on attending the gathering? While browsing the web looking for information about Thomas Kincaid, the surgeon, 17th century, I came across the history of the Kincaid clan in Wikipedia. Anyone know who wrote this history? I have a few questions about some of the Kincaid's mentioned on this site. Does anyone have any information about the following Kincaid of the 17th century? Captain Alexander Kinked, Captain Robert Kinkead, Claud Kinkead and Alexander Kinkead [SEE BELOW] *17th century* John Kincaid of Warriston was murdered by his wife's lover, Robert Weir, on July 1, 1600. Convicted for instigating the murder his wife, Lady Jean Livingstoun of Dunipace, was quickly beheaded on the "Maiden" but the infamy of the murder was to live on in Scottish ballads.[16]<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Kincaid#cite_note-15>Thomas Kincaid was appointed a surgeon in Alexander Leslie's Covenanter army invading England to support the Parliamentarians and he was given command of a brigade of two regiments prior to the Battle of Marston Moor<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Marston_Moor>in 1644.

Thanks, Peter. I could have guessed that from the thoroughness of the content. I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't some imposter of you out there who did it. As usual, I came across what was new information for me on the Wikipedia site. As quoted below: "*Captain Alexander Kinked, Captain Robert Kinkead, Claud Kinkead and Alexander Kinkead were among the '49 officers who received grants in Ireland upon King Charles' return to power." I assume the 49 refers to 1649. Two Alexander's, a Robert, and a Claud in 1649 could have left a long trail of descendents somewhere in the world. Does anyone have any records of what they did with their land grants in Ireland, and, of course, what might have happened to their descendents 2-3 generations later when the migration from Ireland to North America took place? My understanding is that all the paper records of colonists in Northern Ireland perished when the courthouse holding them burned down in the last Irish uprising against the British around 1919 or so.
