Dear Kincaid listers: There is an interesting connection between Andrew Kincaid and the below warrants and surveys, mainly in the fact that Adam Maxwell is an adjacent land owner or claimant in the 1785 and the one with Samuel Kinkead in 1794.  I'm still not sure who this Samuel Kincaid is, whether he is related to James Kinkead the coroner or not.  But he has land adjacent to Adam Maxwell below.
