    1. [KINCAID] Samuel Kinkead's 100 acres near Pittsburgh
    2. Norman Kincaide
    3. I may have found where this acreage could be.  His brother John Kinkead could be the John Kinkead Jr. who applied for 300 acres of New Purchase land in 1769. First go to this map: http://www.mapsofpa.com/18thcentury/1777fadenatlaspa.jpg Find Fort Pitt, find Chartiers Creek and Saw Mill.  See the description on the application in 1769.  I posted most of this information before.  But I am even more convinced that John Kinkead Jr. below is Samuel's brother. He's the only Kinkead who makes an early application for land near Pittsburgh.  I think the 300 acres included the land named in Samuel Kinkead's will. I believe that the John Kinkead in Samuel Kinkead's will is the John Kinkead below.  I also believe that this John Kinkead is the one baptized in 1751 and the Samuel Kinkead baptized in 1753. 1745 John Kincaid, [000003] born in Lancaster County, PA, placed on Allegheny County, PA pension list, age 86,  served as a private, Penn.
