Dear Peter, Thank you for helping in any way possible. Here is the information: Patrick Kincaid, Sr. Born: 1743 in Edinburgh, Scotland, UK Died: 27 December 1817 in Brunswick, Maine, USA Married: Mary Stanwood in Maine, USA ----- Original Message ----- From: Peter A.

Unfortunately Richard this is not enough detail to link him. A more specific birth date would certainly help. In Scotland people considered Patrick and Peter the same name. Thus, your ancestor could have been baptized under either name. I don't see a Patrick or Peter baptized in Edinburgh for that timeframe. There are a couple of potential candidates if one looked west of Edinburgh. However, this is all speculation given that there is just a name and circa 1744 date. I think one might have to look at possible relations in Maine. This would help give a case for a link. For example, there was a John Kincaid in Boothbay, Maine who emigrated with a John Leishman of Falkirk in 1764. This suggests that the John Kincaid of Boothbay was the John Kincaid, son of Thomas Kincaid and Margaret Leishman who was baptized in Falkirk Parish on 23 October 1737. Thus, if further information could be found in Maine, or from some descendant, it help greatly. Best wishes! Peter ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard B. Lake III, Esq.
