Dear Kincaid listers, I have been researching the McClaren and Orey families in connection with the Kincaids in Pennsylvania.  Mathew McClaren married Mary Kinkead, daughter of George Kinkead of Toboyne Township, Cumberland County, PA.  Mathew later settled in Derry Township, Westmoreland County, PA, his brother, Hugh settled in Salem Township, Westmoreland County, PA.  Andrew Kinkead, son of George Kinkead settled in Derry Township, Westmoreland County, PA and John Kinkead, his brother and my ancestor, settled in Salem Township, Westmoreland County, PA.  In researching the McClarens I found Adam Orey to be an adjacent land owner to Hugh McClaren in a survey of Hugh McClaren's land.  Adam Orey was an early settler in Shenango Township, Crawford County, PA where Michael Kinkead also settled.  I have been trying to find out when my Kincaid line came into contact with the Michael Kincaid line, which I believe intermarried when Robert Kincaid (1782-1842) married Mary Kinkead, sister of my John Kinkead who married Elizabeth Smith.  Here is a timeline for the Orey family.
