Is it possible that someone who wanted to escape the British Isles might have assumed a name that was not theirs? And then upon landing s/he would again take their real name? This could be another confounding possibility. Ruth In a message dated 2/12/2009 9:34:30 A.M. Mountain Standard Time, donwkincaid@cox.net writes: Thanks Norman! We checked the indexes for The Genealogical Society of New Jersey and found no Kincaid's of any spelling. This included their Emigrant Register which list those who left NJ for other places. We are sending them a research request for other of their collections that were not searchable online. We also reviewed the Kincaid List archives for all posts regarding this John and find nothing concrete other than what you state that he arrived and disembarked in NJ. Don W.

I have never seen any connection to the Chester County, PA Kincaids. I have never found any evidence other than he survived the voyage and was on the list of survivors who debarked at Perth Amboy, NJ. The supposed lineage went from Thomas Kincaid (DNA Group C) who married Mary Mackey to the Kincaids (DNA Group A, set 1b) of Chester County, PA then to John Kincaid of the Henry & Francis. There is no evidence to indicate this was a possible valid lineage. Sincerely Norman Kincaide ----- Original Message ---- From: Don W.

There was a vigorous discussion about this John in March, 2004 on the Kincaid List consisting of 25 posts I just now reviewed. I found no one could prove with documentation where this John went to from NJ although there were several possibilities proposed. Has anyone discovered any documentation on John of the Henry & Francis since 2004? Thanks, Don W.
