Does anyone happen to know the identity of the John Kincaid who served in the House of Representatives during the years of 1829-1830? A John Kincaid is listed on the "Letters of Delegates to Congress", dated Jan. 17th, 1785. A John W. Kincaid is listed for an appointment as the 2nd Lt./Artillery, Virginia, for the U.S. Army on May 13th, 1812. Then promoted to 1st Lt. dated May 17th, 1816. A William Kincaid of Vermont, be referred to the Committee of Claims, dated Dec. 6th, 1806. Has anyone else viewed the "American State Papers", held by the Library of Congress? It is filled with a vast amount of information concerning "Kincaids". I pulled up over 200 documents with the Kincaid name in them. The following is the web address to the "American State Papers". On the left hand side of the page, click on the underlined "Search this Title through the Collections Search Page". In the big box (near the middle of the page), under NOTE, I typed in "Kincaid", and hit "Search". It will reveal over 200 documents with the word "Kincaid" in it. I did not try other spellings of our name. For a relatively new researcher, such as myself, it was very exciting to see all these words, written by our forefathers, who's goal was to see their dreams come true. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/amlaw/lwsp.html Kelly Kincade-Lewis dau of Robert Kincade #129770
