Ed contacted me about a week ago giving me a nice Christmas gift. I had tried in vain to reach his family several months ago. He is tracking down some male Kincaid relatives to see if they would be willing to participate in our DNA project. Ed has a number of family papers left to him. I hope that we can locate the source for his James being from Londonderry (ie. a well dated family paper, letter, or family bible entry). It is certainly stated as such in more recent family publications. I am VERY interested in confirming the place of origin as being from Londonderry since his David (b. c1695) or John (b. c1730) could indeed be a direct ancestor of mine. Best wishes! Peter A.

I should note that so far it appears that the information about the early Hartford Kincaids was recorded for posterity by Harold Burtis Kincaid in the 1940s. However, this person had in his possession old Wills dating back to the early 1800s so clearly a fair bit of knowledge passed down to him. Some of the detail suggests good familiarity with the early ancestors. I will leave this to Ed to reveal as he desires or plans. Best wishes! Peter A.
