Hi, Mary.  The census information matches the Ben Dixon dates and pretty much precludes Edward Leander Kinkade being the son of Andrew Kinkade (born 1840) and Harriet Scott (born 1844) and he probably would have followed his father to West Virginia if he was their son.  It's also clear from the Ben Dixon record that Edward Leander was the son of Rachel Kinkade out of wedlock; the father is never mentioned.  I have looked for any other cross over information between the two families and I haven't found any.     Sincerely Norman Kincaide ----- Original Message ---- From: Mary Hart <mfhart@grm.net> To: kincaid@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, July 31, 2008 4:45:57 PM Subject: Re: [KINCAID] Ben Dixon Book Kinkades Norman, I was very interested to see your message July 28 with the data from the Ben Dixon book and the old email message from Diana Kincaid.. Is the information in the Ben Dixon book available where one could read it on the internet or any other place?  I have known of the book for some time but wasn't certain if my line is in it or not. The Joseph Kinkade (in Diana's message) who married Sarah Maring in my ancestor (you and I have corresponded about them in the past).  Diana Kincaid and I exchanged our information probably about 10 years ago, but I have lost contact with her.  Do you know if anyone has had contact with her recently? Going on down through your message to the last paragraph where you mentioned Edward being born in 1857 before Andrew Kinkade married Harriet Scott in 1865 -- is there any chance someone mistyped the date of marriage as 1865 when they meant 1856 -- just a thought. Also, you'll note that Edward Leander Kinkade was not the only Leander --  Joseph and Sarah named their first son Leander Marion Kinkade.
