Dear Kincaid-listers, I have looked into the several John Kinkeads of the Pennsylvania Continental Line. John Kinkead, formerly of Lancaster County, PA was a carpenter and served to help build Fort McIntosh. He was in the Washington County, PA Militia and not the Penn. Continental Line.  John Kinkead, artificer, was also a carpenter in the Artillery & Artificer Corps attached to Col. Isaac Craig's Detachment, 1st Penn. Cont. Line at Fort Pitt at the end of the war.  He had a cousin in William Wilson's Co.., 1st Penn. Regt. is timeline will follow in a succeeding email.  I believe that this John Kinkead may be the son of Andrew Kinkead, carpenter, of York County, later of Carlisle and Middleton Township, Cumberland County, PA.

Line in the Revolutionary War-I had disposed of my right to all                     those claims I made-to the Penn. Population Company the paper were in the hands of Gentlemen in         this city who hold them in trust for the company.  I referred the person who applied to me          as above to him, he ? a person with the paper his claim, and upon inspection I find it appears to have         been sold by Kincade in S.? Carolina to one John Brown who sold it to one Erdmen who sold it to me.          He ? ? this went not to him but his cousin of the name of John Kincade-who had been an 18 months             man & who was discharged with him at the end of the war.  If so he must have enlisted after his 18                 months expired & in this case each of them was entitled to donation land and in that case there is no             interference.          Yours truly, W.
