Dear Kincaid listers, I have found another citation to John Kincaid in the Donation Land Patents: 1806 John Kincaid, on list of Claims to Donation Lands, July 12, 1806.            Land Office, July 12, 1806           I George Duffield, Comptroller General of the State of Pennsylvania do hereby enter in the office of the                     Secretary  of the Land Offices a caveat against the opening of patents for Donation Lands in the names of             the persons  herein before mentioned or their assigns, the Commonwealth having a lien on the lands                 aforesaid as the estate  of  John Nicholson, former Comptroller General of the Commonwealth have                     opportunity to be heard.           Andrew Elliott, Secy of the Land Office of Penn.     George Duffield.   Pennsylvania State Archives, Records of the Land Office,MISCELLANEOUS DONATION LAND DOCUMENTS, LISTS AND RELATED FILES, 1786-1839, pp. 45, 50, 53. It appears that there were improprieties, unfairness or outright illegalities in the distribution and or assignments of donation lands that occupied the Pennsylvania Land Office for a considerable period of time after the Revolutionary War.  It appears that the above John Kincaid received his patent but that Duffield wanted the opening for settlement or sale to be delayed until the subscriber's had an opportunity to be heard, because of the lien against them by the Commonwealth as the estate of John Nicholson.  It also appears that these patents or assignments had to do with the Pennsylvania Land Company as well.  I can't help but think that this is my John Kinkead of Union Township, Erie County, PA and that he served with his brother, Andrew Kincaid in Capt. William Wilson's Company, 1st Penn. Regiment Continental Line.  I went through all of the miscellaneous donation land documents to find this.  Well, worth it though. Sincerely Norman Kincaide
