Just to muddy those waters a bit, I saw the names Isaac Kinkead and Sarah Kinkead and jumped to the conclusion that they were my kin who were, incidentally, from Vinton Co., OH. The three children, though, are not Isaac and Sarah Van Cleef Kinkead's. Their offspring are: Julius Kinkead b.1843 Benton C. Kinkead b.1845 Emogene Kinkead b. 1849 Selwyn E. Kinkead b. 1854 Sarah Arabella Kinkead b. 1859 Estaetta Kinkead b. 1861 Further fact-checking reveals that Isaac never left Vinton County (he was an important public official there) and Sarah only left after Isaac died in 1877. The 1850 Census sees them in Washington Co. OH. Sarah and two of her sons located in Plattsmouth, NE, to get to which one must have certainly traveled through Illinois, possibly crossing the Mississippi at Nauvoo (Hancock Co.) like the Mormons did earlier. This is all of special interest to me now that I seem to have identical 67-marker DNA to Doug Kincaid (4073) in Illinois!
